Member benefits – JAAD


Are you reading JAAD? Of course you are.

In fact, the entire world is reading it. The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology (JAAD) is the most widely read dermatology journal in the world, according to Kantar Media. Recently, JAAD was once again named the most-cited journal in its field, according to the 2020 impact factor rankings published by Clarivate’s Journal Citation Reports (JCR) Web of Science Group.


JAAD’s 2020 impact factor of 11.527 is a 40% increase over its previous score. This places JAAD firmly in the No. 1 position among 89 dermatology journals ranked by JCR, and reflects a steady increase in citations during the journal’s 42-year history. This marks the third time since 2017 that the journal has achieved the No. 1 JCR ranking in the field.


As it continues to demonstrate its importance to clinical dermatology, JAAD stands out among the most vital and valuable of all your member benefits because it brings you the research most relevant to your practice and keeps you up to date on the latest in the field.
