About the journal
Aims and Scope |
Experimental Dermatology provides a vehicle for the rapid publication of innovative and definitive reports, letters to the editor and review articles covering all aspects of experimental dermatology. Preference is given to papers of immediate importance to other investigators, either by virtue of their new methodology, experimental data or new ideas. The essential criteria for publication are clarity, experimental soundness and novelty. Letters to the editor related to published reports may also be accepted, provided that they are short and scientifically relevant to the reports mentioned, in order to provide a continuing forum for discussion. Review articles represent a state-of-the-art overview and are invited by the editors. | |

Manuscript Submission Experimental Dermatology is now accepting manuscripts electronically via an online submission site, Manuscript Central. The use of an online submission and peer review site will speed the time to decisions, enable immediate distribution and allow authors to track their own manuscripts. To access this system for submission and review, go directly to http://exd.manuscriptcentral.com/.
Four copies of each manuscript, including illustrations, one set of which must be originals, should be submitted to the editorial office. Illustrative material of fine morphology (histology or electron microscopy) accompanying each copy of the manuscript must be originals (not photocopies). In addition, one disk that is identical with the paper version should be submitted.
Communication between the editors and reviewers will be conducted by electronic mail and fax and authors will be notified by fax whenever possible. A decision will be reached within 4-6 weeks of receipt.
The journal cannot be held responsible for loss of or damage to mailed manuscripts or statements made by contributors.
For submissions to the German office a DOS-formatted 3.5"-disk or a DOS-formatted ZIP-disk or a DOS-formatted CD-ROM should accompany the paper in order to speed up the review process.
Manuscript Arrangement
Research Articles Research Articles and Techniques manuscripts may not exceed 5,000 words (not including references). Research Articles should contain a maximum of 6 display items (Figures and Tables). Please list the word count and number of display items on the cover page of the manuscript. Manuscripts exceeding these limits will be returned to Authors without review. Each manuscript component should begin on a new page in the following sequence: title page; abstract; key words (3 to 5); introduction; methods; results; discussion; acknowledgments; references; tables (each table, complete with title and footnotes, on a separate page); legends for illustrations. Number pages consecutively, beginning with the title page. Type the page number in the upper right-hand corner of each page. Number the tables consecutively with arabic numerals. For any further details, consult the "Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to bio-medical journals', Ref. (2) below.
Mutation Reports Mutation Reports my not exceed 1,000 words (not including references) and contain no more than 2 display items. Please list the word count and number of display items on the cover page of the manuscript. Manuscripts exceeding these limits will be returned to Authors without review. Mutation reports should begin with an Abstract, followed by text body without subdivisions, and a brief Methods section at the end. A description of the disease phenotype, family history, and proof of the mutation should be provided, as well as evidence that the mutation is pathogenetic. A Mutation Report should also contain some novel information, such as the occurrence of the mutation in a previously unreported population group, or haplotype analysis.
Illustrations All figures should clarify the text and their number should be kept to a minimum. Details must be large enough to retain their clarity after reduction. Illustrations should preferably fill single column width (81 mm) after reduction, although in exceptional cases 2/3 width (120 mm) or full page width (168 mm) will be accepted. Submit unmounted copies of each illustration, identifying them with a label on the back that indicates the number, author's name and "top'. Line drawings should be professionally drafted and photographed; halftones should exhibit high contrast. A linear size scale should be incorporated into electron microscopic pictures. Colour illustrations may be accepted free of charge to the authors at the discretion of the Editors. Otherwise the author must pay for the illustration at a rate to be quoted by the publisher. Original transparencies as well as two sets of colour prints should be submitted.
If required, free colours are available on Experimental Dermatology's web site. A Photo Gallery will provide unlimited colour illustrations for all accepted articles at no cost. Colour illustrations should be provided as TIFF, JPEG or Glossy print. References to the Photo Gallery will be made in the articles.
Abbreviations and Symbols Use only standard abbreviations. All units will be metric. Use no roman numerals in the text. In decimals, a decimal point, and not a comma, will be used. Consult the CBE style manual: a guide for authors, editors and publishers in the biological sciences, 4th edition, Arlington, Virginia, 1978. Avoid abbreviations in the title. The full term for which an abbreviation stands should precede its first use in the text unless it is a standard unit of measurement. Units of measurement should be expressed in accordance with the SI and CIE recommendations (see Ref. 3, below).
References Number references consecutively in the order in which they appear first in the text. Identify references in text, tables and legends by Arabic numerals (in parentheses). All references cited, and only these, must be listed at the end of the paper. Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the style used in Index Medicus. The names of unlisted journals should be spelled out.
