What is IJD?
The Indian Journal of Dermatology (IJD) is a peer-reviewed medical journal that publishes original research, review articles, case reports, and clinical studies focused on dermatology, venereology, and leprology. Established in 1955, it is the official publication of the Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists (IADVL). The journal serves as a vital platform for Indian and international researchers to share findings on skin diseases, treatment modalities, and public health issues related to dermatology. It is widely accessed by dermatologists, medical students, and healthcare professionals across India for the latest advances in skin care, cosmetic dermatology, and leprosy management. IJD is indexed in major databases like Scopus, PubMed, and Embase, ensuring global visibility. For medical students preparing for NEET PG or AIIMS dermatology exams, reading recent IJD articles helps in understanding evidence-based practices and emerging trends. The journal emphasizes region-specific concerns such as vitiligo, fungal infections, and leprosy, making it particularly relevant to the Indian subcontinent. With a rigorous peer review process, IJD maintains high academic standards and contributes significantly to the growth of dermatological science in India.
