Focus and Scope

Focus

Scientific Journal of Dermatology and Venereology  is a peer-reviewed, international journal. Its primary aim is to disseminate high-quality, original research that advances the scientific understanding and clinical practice of dermatology and venereology. The journal serves as a critical forum for academics, clinicians, and researchers, publishing studies with a diverse geographical focus, including work from Asia , Africa , and South America.

 
Scope

The journal's scope is comprehensive, encompassing all facets of cutaneous medicine and biology. Scientific Journal of Dermatology and Venereology welcomes the submission of manuscripts across key sub-specialties, including, but not limited to:

Inflammatory Dermatoses: Investigations into the genetics, pathophysiology, and epidemiology of chronic inflammatory conditions such as psoriasis (including GWAS) , atopic dermatitis , and acne vulgaris.

Infectious Dermatology: Research on the molecular epidemiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of cutaneous infections. This includes medical mycology (e.g., Tinea pedis) , virology (e.g., Monkeypox virus) , and bacteriology (e.g., Staphylococcus epidermidis and its role in acne).

Dermato-oncology: Population-based and epidemiological studies on the incidence, prevention, and risk factors associated with skin cancers, including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma (BCC), and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Basic and Translational Science: Foundational research in cutaneous biology, such as investigations into skin barrier function , stratum corneum hydration , and the role of the skin microbiome (metagenomics).

Clinical and Experimental Therapeutics: Rigorous clinical trials evaluating novel interventions, such as dietary supplementation (e.g., polyphenols) , moisturizers , and basic pharmacology studies on natural extracts (e.g., Annona squamosa).

Epidemiology and Public Health: Studies focusing on environmental and occupational dermatology, including the analysis of lifestyle factors, risk factors in industrial settings, and the impact of climate on skin health.

Molecular Dermatology: Advanced molecular studies utilizing comparative genomics, phylogenetic analysis, and immunogenetics to unravel the genetic landscape of skin diseases.
