About the Journal
Academic Dermatology (ISSN 2769-3953) was created to fulfill a need for a free-to-publish, open-access platform for skin physiology and skin disease research of interest to the academic community. Academic Dermatology publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed manuscripts that present original research, reviews, observations, and pedagogy.
