Dear Members of the European Society of Dermatopathology,

I have the great pleasure of announcing you that Dermatopathology, the official journal of The European Society of Dermatopathology, continues under the same title by conserving its PubMed and ESCI indexation with the publisher MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. After its formal transfer of the journal from Karger to MDPI that we have recently finalized, the journal starts this month with its first issue (actually volume 7) (please see here my Editorial). I would like to invite you all to visit the official website of the journal (http://www.mdpi.com/journal/dermatopathology/) and to submit articles.

Many thanks for your support and best regards,

Prof. G. Kaya, M.D., Ph.D
President, European Society of Dermatopathology
Editor-in-Chief, Dermatopathology



Dear ESDP members!

Being a pioneer in academic Open Access publishing, MDPI has been focused on serving and strengthening the scientific community since 1996

All of our content is published in Open Access format and distributed under a Creative Commons License, which means free distribution and the right to share and re-use published articles. We publish quickly to ensure the latest research is rapidly disseminated, using thorough, precise editorial work. After peer review a first decision is provided to authors in approximately 19 days; once accepted, papers are published in 5–10 days.

In addition to being a key theme in our journals, we support sustainability by ensuring the long-term preservation of published papers and the future of science through partnerships, sponsorships, and awards. The further expansion of our flagship journals, the fast growth of some medium-size journals due to increased visibility in indexing databases, as well as the successful launch of a number of new journals, has helped us to strengthen our position as the leading open access publisher and has brought MDPI into the top 5 largest academic publishers worldwide.

It is not all about quantity, we cannot succeed without quality! Out of a total of 218 journals, 137 journals are indexed in the Web of Science database, of which 70 are indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and the rest in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) and the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). The number of scientific societies partnering with MDPI or affiliating to MDPI journals reached 95 at the end of 2019. The Institutional Open Access Program (IOAP) reached 658 academic institutions around the world.

MDPI develops and maintains its own electronic submission and peer-review website. We also run several platforms to offer different types of services for scholars.• Preprints.org: a multidisciplinary preprint platform where authors can publish their articles free of charge.• Scilit.net: a comprehensive, free database for scientists using a new method to collate data and indexing scientific material.• Sciforum.org: an event-planning platform that supports open science by offering the opportunity to host and participate in academic conferences.• Sciprofiles.com: a researcher-profile platform – please find our more about all these services on under our header ‘Initiative’ on our website https://www.mdpi.com/
