British Journal of Dermatology The British Journal of Dermatology is a peer-reviewed medical journal covering clinical, experimental, and translational dermatology research, with ties to the British Association of Dermatologists, publication practices influenced by Wiley-Blackwell, and a readership spanning institutions such as University College London, King's College London, Oxford University Hospitals, Guy's Hospital, and St Thomas' Hospital. Its editorial choices and publication policies have been discussed alongside standards set by organizations including the Committee on Publication Ethics, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, the World Health Organization, the National Institute for Health and Care Research, and major medical societies like the American Academy of Dermatology and the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology.
Founded in the late 19th century, the journal emerged amid developments at institutions such as the Royal College of Physicians, the Royal Society of Medicine, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of Glasgow, paralleling growth in specialties seen at Guy's Hospital and Birmingham Medical School. Early editors and contributors included figures associated with the Royal Society, the Wellcome Trust, and the Royal College of Surgeons of England; subsequent editorial stewardship intersected with careers at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Imperial College London, Newcastle University, and international centers like Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Mayo Clinic, and Massachusetts General Hospital. The journal's archives document responses to events and milestones such as the First World War, the Second World War, the establishment of the National Health Service, the rise of randomized controlled trials epitomized by the MRC Clinical Trials Unit, and the expansion of dermatological subfields tracked by conferences like the European Congress of Dermatology.
The journal publishes original research, reviews, clinical trials, case series, and guidelines spanning topics that link to work at centers such as Stanford University School of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco, Karolinska Institutet, Université Paris Descartes, University of Toronto, and specialist units including Great Ormond Street Hospital for pediatric dermatology, transplant dermatology units affiliated with Royal Marsden Hospital, and photobiology groups at Leeds General Infirmary. Subject matter connects with fields represented by institutions and initiatives like National Institutes of Health, the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, the Wellcome Sanger Institute, and disease-specific organizations such as Cancer Research UK, Melanoma Research Alliance, Psoriasis Association, Atopic Eczema Research Council, and the International League of Dermatological Societies.
The editorial board comprises academics and clinicians holding appointments at universities and hospitals including University of Cambridge, Queen Mary University of London, University of Manchester, King's College Hospital, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, University of Birmingham, Royal Free Hospital, Barts Health NHS Trust, UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, and international institutions like University of Sydney, Monash University, and University of Tokyo. Peer review practices have been aligned with policies advocated by the Committee on Publication Ethics, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, and funding bodies such as the Wellcome Trust and the European Research Council, and use systems comparable to platforms maintained by Elsevier, Springer Nature, and Taylor & Francis.
The journal is indexed in major bibliographic databases and indexing services alongside titles from The Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and BMJ; these services include listings equivalent to MEDLINE, PubMed Central, Scopus, Web of Science, and specialist indexes used by libraries at British Library, Wellcome Library, National Library of Medicine, and university systems like Harvard Library and Bodleian Library.
Citations and impact metrics place the journal among prominent specialty publications evaluated by organizations such as Clarivate Analytics, Scopus's metrics group at Elsevier, and assessment frameworks used by Research Excellence Framework panels at UK universities. Its influence is discussed in reviews and meta-analyses authored by researchers affiliated with Imperial College London, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, King's College London, and policy documents from bodies like the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and the European Medicines Agency.
Key articles have included randomized controlled trials, translational studies, and consensus guidelines produced in collaboration with groups like the British Association of Dermatologists, the American Academy of Dermatology, the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, and research consortia based at Wellcome Sanger Institute, Broad Institute, DKFZ, Institut Pasteur, and university centers including Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Yale School of Medicine. Landmark contributions have influenced clinical practice linked to therapies evaluated in trials at Mayo Clinic, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and regulatory decisions by the Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency.
Published monthly by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the British Association of Dermatologists, the journal offers subscription and hybrid open-access options consistent with mandates from funders such as the Wellcome Trust, the UK Research and Innovation, and the European Research Council. Institutional subscriptions are held by libraries including Bodleian Library, Cambridge University Library, King's College London Library, University of Edinburgh Library, and consortia negotiating agreements similar to deals signed with Jisc.
