Skin Research and Technology is a clinically oriented, open access journal on biophysical methods, imaging, skin pharmacology, and radiation therapy techniques and how they are used in dermatology, plastic surgery and in cosmetic and pharmaceutical sciences. Papers are invited on the development and validation of methods and applications in the characterization of diseased, abnormal and normal skin. Contributions should be clear, experimentally sound and novel.
