The Journal of Dermatological Science publishes high quality peer-reviewed manuscripts covering the entire scope of dermatology, from molecular studies to clinical investigations. Laboratory and clinical studies which provide new information will be reviewed expeditiously and published in a timely manner.The Editor and his Editorial Board especially encourage the publication of research based on a process of bilateral feedback between the clinic and the laboratory, in which incompletely understood clinical phenomena are examined in the laboratory and the knowledge thus acquired is directly reapplied in the clinic. This continuous feedback will refine and expand our understanding of both clinical and scientific domains.Although the Journal is the official organ of the Japanese Society for Investigative Dermatology, it serves as an international forum for the work of all dermatological scientists. With an internationally renowned Editorial Board, the Journal maintains high scientific standards in the evaluation and publication of manuscripts. The Journal also publishes invited reviews, commentaries, meeting announcements and book reviews. Short communications reporting new results are also encouraged, as are papers with negative scientific data, if they contribute to advances in dermatology. The Journal also welcomes highly speculative articles with or even without supporting data, assuming the speculation is reasonable; such papers should be less than 2 printed pages and submitted as Letters to the Editor.For more information, please check the homepage of the Japanese Society for Investigative Dermatology.

《皮膚科學雜志》出版高質量的同行評議手稿，涵蓋了從分子研究到臨床調查的整個皮膚病學范圍。提供新資料的實驗室及臨床研究將會迅速檢討，并及時發表。編輯和編輯委員會特別鼓勵發表基于臨床和實驗室之間的雙向反饋過程的研究，在這個過程中，不完全理解的臨床現象在實驗室進行檢驗，從而獲得的知識直接應用于臨床。這種持續的反饋將改進和擴大我們對臨床和科學領域的理解。雖然該雜志是日本皮膚病學研究協會的官方機構，但它是所有皮膚病學科學家工作的國際論壇。雜志擁有國際知名的編輯委員會，在手稿的評估和出版方面保持著較高的科學標準。該雜志還出版邀請評論、評論、會議公告和書評。簡短的交流報告新結果也受到鼓勵，如果有負面科學數據的論文對皮膚病學的進步有貢獻的話，也是如此。《華爾街日報》還歡迎帶有或沒有支持數據的高度投機文章，假設投機是合理的;此類論文應少于2頁打印，并作為信件提交給編輯。如需更多信息，請瀏覽日本皮膚病學研究會的主頁。
