U101 - JAAD and Beyond: The Best Articles of the Year
Description
In this session, the speaker expresses pride in the International Journal of Dermatology (IGD) and its mission to publish significant research on neglected tropical diseases and skin disorders that affect underserved populations and people of color. As a new editor, the speaker shares updates, including a new cover design and initiatives like a mentorship program for reviewers. The journal’s impact factor, while lower than larger competitors, reflects its focus on less-cited topics, evidenced by its impressive acceptance rate of 15% from over 4000 submissions. Key topics highlighted include guidelines for treating scabies, the sufficiency of AI tools in diagnosing skin conditions in darker skin types, and significant papers addressing psoriasis in skin of color, acne treatment disparities, and malasma. The discussion also covers the intersections between atopic dermatitis and alopecia areata, and the need for thorough examinations to catch conditions like melanoma in under-examined areas. Research correlating herpes simplex infections with a higher risk of head and neck cancers is also presented, raising questions about causal relationships. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the journal's commitment to clinically important research and invites attendees to the upcoming ISD conference in Rome.
