The Journal of Investigative Dermatology (JID) is one of the top international journals in the field of cutaneous biology and skin disease that publishes high-impact, peer-reviewed papers. It is an important resource for sharing original findings from basic, translational, and clinical research to further enhance our knowledge about biology while improving dermatologic practice through published research.

JID provides clinicians, scientists, and healthcare researchers with rigorous, evidence-based research that spans the full continuum of skin science from fundamental mechanisms of skin structure and function to disease pathogenesis, therapeutic innovation, and clinical outcomes. By fostering integration across experimental biology, clinical research, and emerging technologies, the journal supports progress in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of skin disorders

Journal of Investigative Dermatology

Aim and Scope

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology aims to publish high-quality research that advances knowledge of skin biology and the mechanisms underlying dermatologic disease. The journal welcomes original studies that generate meaningful biological insight and contribute to improved understanding, management, or treatment of cutaneous conditions. JID prioritizes research that bridges fundamental discovery with clinical relevance, including mechanistic studies complemented by innovative methodologies, technologies, or analytical tools. Submissions based on clinical investigation may include interventional trials, genetic studies, epidemiology, and health services research, provided they offer clear scientific or biological advancement.

Scope of the Journal includes:

Fundamental and applied research in cutaneous biology
Molecular, cellular, and genetic mechanisms of skin disease
Translational and clinical dermatology research
Interventional and observational clinical studies
Genetic, epidemiologic, and population-based dermatology research
Development and application of novel methodologies, technologies, and research tools
Disease pathogenesis and therapeutic innovation in dermatology

JID publishes Original Articles, Review Articles, and Letters to the Editor. Perspectives and Commentaries are commissioned by the Editorial Board. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review, and invited content is subject to editorial evaluation prior to acceptance. Enhanced online features further support accessibility and engagement for scientists, clinicians, trainees, and educator audiences.
