British Journal of Dermatology: A Leading International Dermatology Journal

The British Journal of Dermatology (BJD) is a top-ranked international dermatology journal dedicated to advancing the understanding and management of skin diseases to improve patient outcomes. The journal publishes high-impact global research, including studies from the United States and Canada, focusing on clinical trials, guidelines, translational research, epidemiology, and qualitative outcomes research.

Epidemiology Section

The Epidemiology section of BJD welcomes epidemiological studies that enhance our understanding of skin diseases and have clinical relevance in terms of disease management, from prevention to diagnostics to treatment. The clinical relevance is reflected in the research question and definition of the primary outcome and the used variables. Epidemiological studies should stimulate independent thinking and challenge the status quo. We seek studies that try to prove causality as much as possible and try to move beyond the level of association. Straightforward association studies and exploratory pilots can be presented in a research letter format. The robustness of the data collection and methodology used is more important than the findings and whether or not they are statistically significant. We want to encourage collaboration and favor comprehensive studies that have validated their studies in different (international) populations.
