JAMA Dermatology continued to thrive in 2022. The editorial leadership team carefully evaluated 2745 article submissions during the past year (Table ).A total of 1300 of 2745 submissions (47%) were research articles, which was similar to the previous year. Acceptance rates also remained stable, with 10% of submissions overall and 11% of research articles accepted for publication. With an ongoing commitment to pub-lishing excellence and process improvement, the journal continued to maintain its goal of reducing the time to publication, keeping the median days of acceptance to publication to 61 days while offering timely editorial decisions, including maintaining its median receipt-to-rejection time of 4 days and median receipt to first decision with peer review of 42 days. The editorial leadership team continued to strive to find ways to improve authors' experience to ensure authors the fastest and best publication of their work. As predicted in last year's review, many of the top dermatology journals achieved substantial increases in impact factors, which was likely a reflection of COVID-19 skinrelated publications, and in line with trends seen across the medical literature. JAMA Dermatology's impact factor increased from 10.3 to 11.8.The journal broadened its digital reach, with more than 5.2 million full-text views and downloads in the past year (an approximately 20% increase), and expanded its connections to more than 68 000 followers on the social media channels Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, a 15% increase compared with the

As a commitment to elevating early-career academic dermatologists, JAMA Dermatology is seeking applications for a 2-year editorial fellowship position. The selected fellow will receive mentorship from the Editor around editorial processes and the functions of a clinical dermatology journal. The goal of this fellowship is to support the development of an early-career academic dermatologist to equip them with the skills to take on editorial responsibilities in a dermatology peer-reviewed journal at the conclusion of the fellowship. This role will be supported by a small stipend. This fellowship position aligns with initiatives at other specialty journals in the JAMA Network 1 and is part of a broader vision for the advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion in medical publishing. 2,3 The journal has outlined bold goals to increase inclusivity across multiple domains. 4 We seek to become more diverse in our authorship, readership, reviewers, and editorial bodies. To this end, we are committed to amplifying voices that are systematically underrepresented in the field. To put action behind words, the creation of this fellowship is a means to support the career advancement of marginalized early-career faculty so that future leaders in dermatology look increasingly more like the diverse patient populations our profession serves. Therefore, we strongly encourage dermatologists from backgrounds historically excluded from medicine, including sexual and gender minority individuals, to apply to this fellowship. Please see the National Institutes of Health definition of populations considered to be underrepresented in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences. 5,6

Publications dealing with topics considered to be pertinent to diversity, equity, and inclusion are increasing. Due to the increasing trend, dermatology journals have started to implement ways to evaluate and understand these publications. Here, we discuss a keyword approach to identify and then categorize these publications. Keywords identified 43 manuscripts. Two reviewers screened the articles’ titles and abstracts, and recommended a full manuscript review for 24 publications. Through the scope of definitions from the National Institutes of Health, an editorial board member performed a full-text review and assigned a primary theme to the publications. Themes included equity (n=20) and diversity/inclusion (n=4). Topics were racial/ethnic differences in care delivery or society (n=17), incomplete understanding of gender and sex (n=3), gender identity (n=2), socioeconomic class and its impact on health (n=1), care for rural underserved communities (n=1), and religion (n=1). The results of this review demonstrate a predominance of equity-related publications, particularly emphasizing racial/ethnic differences in health care delivery, in the publications identified in JMIR Dermatology. Future research can focus on creating a review aid to assist editorial board members when providing feedback to manuscripts, refining the keywords, and using thematic analysis methodology to evaluate large sets of publications.
