Published since 1955, Indian Journal of Dermatology (IJD®), (ISSN: Print- 0019-5154, Online – 1998-3611) is the oldest published journal of Dermatology in Asia and one of the oldest peer-reviewed journals dedicated to this particular discipline. The journal is being published regularly since its inception and continues to be one of the pioneer medical journals from India.In 1962, it became the first indexed Dermatology Journal from Asia, whereas in 1965, it became the official organ of the then Dermatological Society of India. Since 1973, it is being published by Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists, West Bengal State branch. IJD® became the official organ of AADV from May-June 2012 (Vol 57,Issue 3) without any change of name or ownership of the journal.
By launching the web version www.e-ijd.org in November 2000, IJD became the first Indian Dermatology journal to enter the internet.
Yearly six issues of the journal are being published in the months of February, April, June, August, October and December.
Indian Journal of Dermatology’s uniqueness lays in being a journal on the global platform where a scientific journal (not only in dermatology but in the entire field of biomedical journals) published by a state branch of a society could not only regularly publish for such a long time but also continue to be an influential, indexed journal.
The journal publishes information related to skin-pathology and different modes of therapeutics, including dermatosurgery and cosmetic dermatology. Likewise, it carries articles on leprosy, STI and HIV/AIDS. The editorial board encourages the authors to publish articles addressing emerging techniques and developments in the subject specialty, in the form of Original investigations, Narrative and Systematic Reviews as well as Case Reports. The journal aims at publishing Editorials and Commentaries from eminent personalities on a regular basis.
