Publishing Policies

This section lists all substantive corrections, additions or changes made to articles and reviews subsequent to their first publication in the journal. Corrigenda are usually submitted by the corresponding author of the original article, or the section editor. Published papers are considered “final”, thus JMIR makes corrections to published papers only in exceptional circumstances.Note that while we do not charge to correct errata that are the responsibility of the publisher, we charge a $190 fee for discretionary corrigenda and addenda (please submit a correction under that section, if it is the authors’ responsibility/decision to correct or add information to a already published article).

A series of commentaries upon the systematic reviews published by Cochrane Skin and Cochrane Wounds

Research letters are short communications that can comment on any topic within Dermatology and can comment directly on publications outside of JMIR Dermatology (in contrast to the Letter to the Editor article type).

JMIR Dermatology publishes clinical case reports. Please see JMIR Publications article type information on submitting case reports. 

For discretionary corrigenda that result from author oversight (e.g., corrections in the affiliation), we charge a $190 processing fee to make changes in the original paper and publish an erratum. Please submit a correction statement (text similar to http://www.jmir.org/2015/3/e76/) at http://www.dermajmir.org/author/submit/1 under the section "Discretionary Corrigenda".

Climate change will impact dermatological conditions for infants, youth, adults, and older adults alike. From warming or dry weather and its impact on skin types, to the use of e-health platforms and technology during environmental health disasters to assist with monitoring and mitigating effects to human health and well-being, the impact of climate change is seen. Climate change impact to dermatology has a wide range, breadth, and depth of implications to research and practice.
