About JSCE in full
The journal
JSCE is an open-access journal published by Open Access Pub. It brings together research on skin cancer as a population-level problem: who is exposed to risk, who develops disease, how early it is found, and what reduces its burden.
Melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer are both covered. The journal welcomes contributions from epidemiology, biostatistics, dermatology, oncology, public health and health policy.
Scope in brief
The core of the journal is skin cancer epidemiology and population health. Clinical-outcome studies are welcome when they inform questions about populations. The full statement is given on the Aims and Scope page.
