Submission. Submission of an article is understood to imply that the article is original and unpublished and not being considered for publication elsewhere. The responsible author must ensure that the article has been seen and approved by all the other authors. All articles are subject to peer review by one or more referees. Authors are invited to propose 3 potential reviewers with their e-mail addresses. All submissions are subject to a 50 € processing charge, to be paid during the submission process, via a secure page online. Authors of invited reviews, letters concerning articles previously published in the EJD and items to be published in the “Residents’ Corner” are not required to pay submission fees. Authors of such papers should contact the editorial office before submitting their article.

 

Copyright. Authors of papers accepted for publication grant John Libbey Eurotext an exclusive licence to publish, in return for which they can re-use their papers in their future printed work without first requiring permission from the publisher of the journal. Authors may archive this version of the manuscript in their institution’s repositories and, if they wish, on their personal websites. Authors should cite the publication reference on any deposited version, and provide a link from it to the URL of the published article on the journal’s website.

 

Ethics. When reporting experiments on human and animal subjects, authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human/animal experimentation (institutional or regional) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as amended in 1983. If in doubt, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach and demonstrate that the institutional review board explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study.

 

Clinical Trial Registration. The European Journal of Dermatology subscribes to the standards set forth by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors in the Lancet (364:911-912, 2004), requiring that all trials that start enrolling participants after July 1, 2005 must be registered in a suitable publicly accessible register in order to be considered for publication in the Journal.

 

Types of articles. The European Journal of Dermatology publishes articles in the following rubrics: Editorials, Review Articles, Investigative Reports, Genes and Skin, Therapy, Clinical Reports, Correspondence. Single case reports are normally only considered suitable for publication as correspondence items. Authors may propose the rubric for which they consider their article is most suitable, although the final decision will be taken by the Editor.

 

Correspondence includes brief clinical and investigative reports and letters commenting articles previously published in the journal. Correspondence items MUST be limited to a maximum of 700 words, one figure/table (the figure can be a mounted one) and ten references. No abstract/key words are needed. All correspondence items are subject to possible editing/abridgement.
