Author Submission Information
Manuscripts are accepted with the understanding that the editorial staff is free to make revisions and suggestions intended to improve clarity, reduce length or eliminate obvious discrepancies between journal and manuscript styles. Please note that there is no financial compensation for published articles.
The paper should start with the title, author name(s) and the institutional affiliations of the author(s) where applicable. For research papers, the title should be followed by a brief abstract of 150-300 words. Text: An introductory paragraph should be included; it should be brief but provide enough detail to explain why the theme of the article is an important issue to the author(s). Liberal use of subheadings helps to organize content logically. Concluding remarks should relate to the introduction and must make a clear summary statement appropriate to the content. Footnotes: Do not use footnotes for citation of bibliographic material.
Tables: Title all tables and number them in order of their citation in the text. Figures: Embed all figures in the text document at the end of the file. Legends: Include legends in the text document at the end of the file. Acceptable formats for pictures and photography include: jpeg, & gif for images. Pictures can be scanned, and must be transmitted electronically and must be under 100KB.
Abbreviations Except for units of measurement, abbreviations are discouraged. Consult Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (Sixth edition. New York: Cambridge University Press, 1994) for lists of standard abbreviations. Except for units of measurement, the first time an abbreviation appears, it should be preceded by the words for which it stands.
A major goal of Dermanities is to provide authors with a high-quality journal that will allow them to make their papers freely accessible and useable while still receiving proper credit for their work. We allow authors to retain copyright on the work, but to irrevocably license the work to any third party to redistribute and use the work subject to the condition that proper attribution be given whenever the work is reproduced or redistributed. By retaining copyright, authors and/or their representatives retain the right to enforce the terms of the license, but not the right to dictate how or by whom the work is used.
Patients : No reference should be made within any portion of the manuscript to individual patient identity. Such information as names, initials, hospital numbers, dates and personal histories must be avoided. Drug Names: Generic names should generally be used. When proprietary brands are used in research, include the brand name and the name of the manufacturer in parentheses.
