As an open-access journal, we are read by clinicians and patients alike and focus on applied science reporting the design and evaluation of health innovations and emerging technologies in dermatology. We publish original research, research letters, case reports, viewpoints, short articles, and reviews (both literature reviews and medical device/technology/app reviews). Articles are carefully copyedited and XML-tagged.

JMIR Derm is indexed in Sherpa Romeo, ScopusDOAJ, CABI, and PubMed Central/PubMed.
