Papers must be submitted exclusively to the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology and are accepted on the understanding that they have not been and will not be published elsewhere.
The corresponding author, who will be responsible for reading the proofs, should provide telephone and fax numbers and an e-mail address. To expedite the review process, please suggest three or four potential reviewers, providing their email addresses. It would also be helpful to have their addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses.
The Editor retains the usual right to modify the style and length of a contribution (major changes being agreed with the corresponding author) and to decide the time of publication.
Ethics
Human studies should have been approved by an ethics committee but in questionable matters the Editor reserves the right to reject papers.
Sources of financial support must be acknowledged. Other kinds of association (such as consultancy, share ownership, or patent-licensing arrangements) should be disclosed to the Editor in a covering letter at the time of submission. Such information will be held in confidence.
An ethical statement should be included on all articles. This should include the date, approval number/code and name of any approving ethics committee or board, for example: The Medical Ethical Committee of the Erasmus MC, University Medical Center Rotterdam, The Netherlands (MEC-2012-165). It should also include details of consent procedures if any human subjects were included. If patient images are sourced from elsewhere, it should show permission for re-use of images. For retro respective studies an ethical statement is required
Example of an Ethics Statement where ethical approval was required: ‘The authors confirm that the ethical policies of the journal, as noted on the journal’s author guidelines page, have been adhered to and the appropriate ethical review committee approval has been received. The US National Research Council's guidelines for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals were followed.’
Example of an Ethics Statement where ethical approval was not required: ‘The authors confirm that the ethical policies of the journal, as noted on the journal’s author guidelines page, have been adhered to. No ethical approval was required as this is a review article with no original research data.’
Data Sharing and Data Availability
This journal expects data sharing. Review Wiley’s Data Sharing policy where you will be able to see and select the data availability statement that is right for your submission.
SECTIONS OF THE JOURNAL TO WHICH SUBMISSIONS ARE ACCEPTED (Please note that all accepted submissions are considered original articles.)
Original Article
Peer reviewed submissions of high quality that have not been published elsewhere. These submissions should evaluate appearance related issues concerning the skin, hair, and nails. International submissions from all parts of the globe are encouraged as the Associate Editors are international in scope. Submitted articles should be clinical in nature and relevant to cosmetic dermatology. Animal only studies, purely in vitro studies with no clinical connection, and formulation development with no concomitant clinical data are outside the publishing realm of the journal. The title page should contain the author’s name(s), appointments and place of work at the relevant time. A full and a short running title should be given, together with no more than six keywords for indexing purposes.
The text should start with an Abstract structured (intro/methods/results/conclusion) or unstructured, not exceeding 250 words, and organized into sections under the headings Background, Aims, Patients/Methods, Results, Conclusions. The paper should then proceed conventionally: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion. No more than 25 references should be cited.
Reports of clinical trials should adhere to the tenets of the CONSORT statement (JAMA 1996; 276: 637-639).
Editorial
An editorial on an area of cosmetic dermatology evaluating timely issues of a policy or trend nature.
Clinical Commentary
An article written by a dermatologist or industry researcher regarding a controversial or poorly understood issue, condition or treatment pertinent to cosmetic dermatology.
Review Article
An article written by a dermatologist or industry researcher reviewing an important body of knowledge relevant to cosmetic dermatology, such as inflammation, a class of ingredients, a new testing methodology, a dermatologic technique, a product class, etc. These should follow the same format as original articles, but should be limited to a maximum of 2,500 words and 40 references.
Practical Application
A thorough pictorial and literary description of how to perform a procedure relevant to cosmetic dermatology. The treatment protocol will be presented in detail to help other dermatologists learn to develop their own treatment ideas. Surgical and medical and cosmetic issues will be discussed. A step-by-step approach to the technique should be presented. The presentations should begin with a structured abstract of no more than 250 words, followed by the main text (no more than 800 words, excluding references). No more than 10 references should be cited.
Mini Review
A concise discussion of a basic area of cosmetic dermatology to provide a review for dermatologists and a cosmetic dermatology knowledge base for resident dermatologists. Topics presented would be how does soap function, what constitutes a moisturizer, how does an antioxidant protect skin, etc.
Brief Report
A novel technique or active or industry development will be presented in an informal article. This is intended to allow cutting edge information that has not been written in a formal paper to be published.
Illustrations
Color illustrations are encouraged, and will not attract a cost to authors. There are three preferred formats for digital artwork submission: Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), and Tagged Image Format (TIFF). We suggest that line art be saved as EPS files. Tone art, or photographic images, should be saved as TIFF files with a resolution of 300 dpi at final size. For combination figures, or artwork that contains both photographs and labeling, we recommend saving figures as EPS files. More detailed information on the submission of electronic artwork can be found at http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp.
Four sets of original illustrations should only be mailed if it is not possible to submit them electronically. Each set should be placed in a separate envelope labeled with the senior author’s name and the manuscript title. All illustrations of graphs, artwork, and photographs should be numbered in consecutive Arabic numerals and submitted as high-contrast, glossy prints, 5 ×7 inches. Since all illustrations are reduced in size for publication, lettering should be sufficiently large to be legible upon reduction. Original artwork should not be submitted unless requested. X-ray photographs should be submitted as high-contrast, glossy prints, with the light and dark areas the same as the original x-ray. A gummed label should be affixed to the back of each illustration with the name of the senior author, manuscript title, figure number, and an arrow indicating the top of the figure. The legend(s) of all figures should be typed double-spaced on a separate sheet of paper. When appropriate, arrows should be placed on photographs and drawings to indicate the portion to which reference is made. In the legend for photomicrographs, the magnification and stain utilized should be included.
Slides are also acceptable, but should be packed in a padded envelope or disk mailer, as damage can occur in transit.
Diagrams should be on separate sheets; they should be drawn with black ink on white paper, or feint-ruled graph paper, and should be approximately twice the size of the final reproduction. Lines should be of sufficient thickness to stand reduction (no less than 4 mm high for a 50% reduction). A legend should be provided for each illustration, and in the case of photomicrographs, should state the original magnification.
Letters
Letters to the Editor are brief reports that can be preliminary, but may represent original observations that may have a substantial impact within the scope of “The Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology”. Your letter should be written in a style that addresses the editor about the preliminary and relatively incomplete information on a major scientific question, a recent original discovery, a novel method, an epidemiological issue, and should aim to inform the readers as early as possible about one of the above. They will be subject to peer review. They should begin with the salutation “To the Editor” and there should not be any separate abstract, but rather a conclusion paragraph that sums up the Letter. Please note that single case reports will not be considered for publication.
Title: The title should be concise and informative. It should be less than 100 characters.
Text:
The text is strictly limited to maximum 600 words.
Maximum 6 references are allowed of the Journal's style.
Online supplementary of maximum 5 pages can be used for more references, detailed explanations of methods, sequencing databases, tables and figures.
Figures:
Up to 2 display items figures and/or tables are allowed.
Figure legends should be concise and should not be more than 100 words.
They should begin with the salutation “To the Editor”. There should not be any separate abstract. Author names, affiliations, funding sources and conflicts of interest should be listed at the end following references. Additional online supporting information of up to five pages can be provided. Please note that single case reports will not be considered for publication.
Your Letter should be no longer than 600 words, and have a maximum of six references and two figures or tables. Additionally, you may supply up to five pages of online supplementary material. The editors expect to have all of the data kept during conversion to the new format. Please explain in the cover letter which data from the original article has been used in which figure of the Letter to the Editor, and clearly indicate if any data has been left out.
Patient Photo Permissions
If photographs are recognizable, the authors must attest that they have obtained written consent for permission to publish.
Cover Image Submissions
This journal accepts artwork submissions for Cover Images. This is an optional service you can use to help increase article exposure and showcase your research. For more information, including artwork guidelines, pricing, and submission details, please visit the Journal Cover Image page.
Units and Abbreviations
All measurements should be in SI units with the exception of haemoglobin (g/dL) and blood pressure (mmHg). Original observations recorded in other units should be stated, together with the appropriate conversion factors.
Standard abbreviations, without punctuation, are used. Units, Symbols and Abbreviations (1988) published by the Royal Society of Medicine, and SI: The International System of Units (1982), from HMSO provide useful guides.
Abbreviated words must be spelled out on first appearance in both summary and text. Abbreviations, used sparingly, should follow the first full spelling, in parentheses.
