2. AIMS AND SCOPE
Journal of Cutaneous Pathology publishes manuscripts broadly relevant to diseases of the skin and mucosae, with the aims of advancing scientific knowledge regarding dermatopathology and enhancing the communication between clinical practitioners and research scientists. Original scientific manuscripts on diagnostic and experimental cutaneous pathology are especially desirable. Timely, pertinent review articles also will be given high priority. Manuscripts based on light, fluorescence, and electron microscopy, histochemistry, immunology, molecular biology, and genetics, as well as allied sciences, are all welcome, provided their principal focus is on cutaneous pathology. Publication time will be kept as short as possible, ensuring that articles will be quickly available to all interested in this speciality.
3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS
i. Original Articles
This format is for publishing original research studies. Papers must be structured under the sub-headings: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments, and References.
Word limit: 2,500 words maximum (excluding abstract, references, acknowledgments, tables, and figure legends).
Abstract: 200 words maximum; must be structured under the sub-headings: Background, Methods, Results, and Conclusions.
ii. Brief Communications
This format is for concisely reporting new research findings or novel clinicopathologic observations. Please do not include an epistolary phrase such as “To the editor.”
Word limit: 1,000 words maximum.
Abstract: Brief communications should NOT have an abstract.
Figures/Tables: Total of no more than 2 figures and/or tables.
References: Maximum of 10 references.
iii. Case Reports
This format is for publishing single cases or small series having novel scientific content and/or exceptional teaching value. Case reports should be succinct, with a single, focused message, and discuss rare conditions, unique findings, diagnostic challenges, overlapping features, uncommon presentations, or other original observations. Cases that focus on clinical findings, however unusual or striking, are generally not suitable and would be better submitted to a clinically-oriented journal.
Case reports must be structured under the sub-headings: Introduction, Case Report(s), Discussion, Acknowledgments, and References
Word limit: 1,400 words maximum (excluding abstract, references, acknowledgements, tables, and figure legends).
Abstract: 200 words maximum; unstructured (without sub-section headings).
Figures/Tables: Maximum of 6 figures and/or tables.
iv. Cover Quizlets
This format is for publishing intriguing single cases with exceptional teaching value. To invite readers’ participation in morphologic diagnosis of “unknown” cases, quizlets are divided into two parts. The preliminary part presents the names of authors and shows all the Figures (without legends), followed by the sentence, “What is your diagnosis?” This is followed by a second, main part that introduces, presents, and discusses the case forming the basis of the quizlet; legends to all figures are presented within the second, main part of the paper. The main text of cover quizlets does not require sub-division under discrete sub-headings, but should follow the general flow: introductory paragraph, report of case, discussion, acknowledgments (if any), and references. Please be careful to number all figure legends according to the appropriate flow of text in the main part of the article. One or more figure will be selected for publication on the cover of the issue, so long as images are self-explanatory without a legend.
Word limit: 1,400 words maximum (excluding references, acknowledgments, tables, and figure legends).
Abstract: Cover Quizlets should NOT have an abstract.
Figures/Tables: Maximum of 6 figures and/or tables.
v. Perspectives in Dermatopathology
This format is a forum for broad perspectives in cutaneous pathology, including discussion of current controversies, historical insights, and invited commentary on papers published in the same issue of the journal. Perspectives articles may be structured into sub-headings as deemed appropriate, and should follow the general flow: discussion, acknowledgments, and references.
Word limit: 1,400 words maximum (excluding references, acknowledgements, tables, and figure legends).
Abstract: Perspectives in Dermatopathology should NOT have an abstract.
Figures/Tables: Maximum of 6 figures and/or tables.
vi. Reviews
This format is for publishing in-depth reviews and analyses of evolving topics in cutaneous pathology. Papers of the type “Case report and review of the literature” should instead be submitted in the Case Report format. A good review does not merely present the results of a literature search, but rather analyzes evidence-based data and presents a succinct, actionable message to the reader. Content of Review papers are typically similar to that of a lecture presented at a short or long course in a scientific meeting or symposium, and lecturers at such meetings are encouraged to consider transforming a well-received talk into a rigorous, timely paper for dissemination and future citation. Review articles may be structured into sub-headings as deemed appropriate, and should follow the general flow: introduction, discussion, acknowledgments, and references.
Word limit: 2,500 words maximum (excluding references, acknowledgements, tables, and figure legends).
Abstract: Abstracts of Reviews may be structured or unstructured.
Figures/Tables: Maximum of 6 figures and/or tables.
vii. Notes & Comments
Brief remarks commenting on material previously published in the journal will be considered for publication in this section. Please do not include an epistolary phrase such as “To the editor.” In addition to undergoing standard peer review, these papers will be sent for response to the authors of the article being commented upon. Such response may either be published or sent directly to the commentator, at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief. Notes & Comments should be of compelling general interest to our readers. Please direct any questions or comments directly to the authors regarding such matters as complaints about missed citations, rather than involving the journal as an intermediary.
4. PREPARING THE SUBMISSION
Parts of the Manuscript
The manuscript should be submitted in separate files: title page; main text file; figures.
Title page
The title page should contain:
i. Major key words. The title should not contain abbreviations (see Wiley's best practice SEO tips);
ii. A short running title of less than 40 characters;

v. Acknowledgments.
Authorship
Please refer to the journal’s authorship policy the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations section for details on eligibility for author listing.
Acknowledgments
Contributions from anyone who does not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed, with permission from the contributor, in an Acknowledgments section. Financial and material support should also be mentioned. Thanks to anonymous reviewers are not appropriate.
Conflict of Interest Statement
Authors will be asked to provide a conflict of interest statement during the submission process. For details on what to include in this section, see the section ‘Conflict of Interest’ in the Editorial Policies and Ethical Considerations section below. Submitting authors should ensure they liaise with all co-authors to confirm agreement with the final statement.

The main text file should be presented in the following order:
i. Title, abstract and key words;
ii. Main text;
iii. References;
iv. Tables (each table complete with title and footnotes);
v. Figure legends;
vi. Appendices (if any).
Figures and supporting information should be supplied as separate files.
Abstract
Abstracts and keywords are required for some manuscript types. For details on manuscript types that require abstracts and/or keywords and how to prepare these, please refer to the “Manuscript Types and Criteria” section.
Keywords
Please provide a maximum of 5 keywords, preferably taken from those recommended by the US National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) browser list at https://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/.
Main text
As papers are double-blind peer-reviewed, the main text file should not include any information that might identify the authors. For example, do not refer to your institution by name, nor identify your own previous work when citing previously published literature you may have presented or published.
References
All references should be numbered consecutively in order of appearance and should be as complete as possible. In text, citations should cite references in consecutive order using Arabic superscript numerals. For more information about AMA reference style please see the AMA Manual of Style.

Tables
Tables should be self-contained and should complement, not duplicate, information contained in the text. They should be supplied as editable files, not pasted as images. Legends should be concise but comprehensive; the table, legend and footnotes must be understandable without reference to the text. All abbreviations must be defined in footnotes. Footnote symbols: †, ‡, §, ¶, should be used (in that order) and *, **, *** should be reserved for P-values. Statistical measures such as SD or SEM should be identified in the headings.
Figure Legends
All figure legends should begin with the name of the condition or disease being depicted, and should be concise but comprehensive; each figure and its legend must be understandable without reference to the text. Include definitions of any special symbols used, and define/explain all abbreviations and unusual units of measurement. Legends to photomicrographs must include the total original magnification for each image; e.g., a photomicrograph originally taken with a 10x ocular lens and a 40x objective lens should be described as having magnification “400x.” Include the stain used for each figure or panel thereof; for routine hematoxylin-eosin stained specimens, abbreviate as (H&E).
Preparing Figures
Composite figures must have a black border clearly separating the individual cells (e.g., a border must clearly separate the elements of a Figure 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D). Individual cells of composite figures must additionally have a black corner box, with white-font, bolded text identifying the individual cells (e.g., A, B, C, and D); uppercase in Parentheses (e.g. (A)).
Clinical photographs must be cropped or otherwise masked so as not to disclose patients’ identities.
To clarify figures, authors may include helpful features (arrows, size bars, etc.) in the image. We strongly encourage authors to send us the highest-quality figures possible, from the beginning. TIFF files are the publication-standard format for figures including all photomicrographs. As a less desirable alternative, and for initial peer-review purposes only, we can accept a variety of formats, sizes, and resolutions. However, authors should be aware that submission of poor-quality photomicrographs is one of the main causes for rejection of manuscripts, and submission of suboptimal pictures can only delay publication of an otherwise acceptable paper. Authors are asked to pay particular attention to achieving good white-balancing in photomicrographs. If this proves difficult using a conventional digital camera, authors should consider performing digital scanning of their glass slides in order to achieve excellent, publication-quality photomicrographs.

Color figures: Figures submitted in color may be reproduced in color free of charge. Please note, however, that it is preferable that line figures (e.g., graphs and charts) be supplied in black and white so that they will be legible if later printed in black and white.
Data Citation
Please review Wiley’s data citation policy here.
Appendices
Appendices will be published after the references. For submission they should be supplied as separate files but referred to in the text.
Graphical Table of Contents
The journal’s table of contents will be presented in graphical form with a brief abstract.
The table of contents entry must include the article title, the authors' names (with the corresponding author indicated by an asterisk), no more than 80 words or 3 sentences of text summarizing the key findings presented in the paper and a figure that best represents the scope of the paper (see the section on abstract writing for more guidance).
Table of contents entries should be submitted to Scholar One in one of the generic file formats and uploaded as “Supplementary material for review” during the initial manuscript submission process.
The image supplied should fit within the dimensions of 50mm x 60mm, and be fully legible at this size.
Supporting Information
Supporting information is information that is not essential to the article, but provides greater depth and background. It is hosted online and appears without editing or typesetting. It may include tables, figures, videos, datasets, etc.
