JAAD Case Reports® is one of three open access companion titles to the highly-respected Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology(JAAD) . JDCR supports the advancement of clinical dermatology practice through its dedication to publishing traditional and interactive, new and novel case reports, case series, and images that are authentic, understandable, educational, and of interest to an audience of dermatologists, residents, fellows, and researchers in all dermatology subspecialties, as well as clinicians in related fields. Each submission should have an emphasis on high-quality, clinical photography. Submissions should present any of the following: new diseases, new presentations of known diseases, new associations, new diagnostic techniques, new treatments including any adverse events and procedural techniques, as well as other cases related to the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and improvement of the skin, hair, and nails. All submissions are peer reviewed. To provide fully available, open access articles, authors are requested to pay a publication fee once their manuscript has been accepted. Following payment of this fee, the article will be made universally available at http://www.sciencedirect.com and on Elsevier's HealthAdvance platform. JDCR supports a culture of inclusion and connectedness.
