HAUTARZT

Hautarzt is a distinguished monthly peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the field of dermatology, published by Springer Medizin Verlag in Germany. With an ISSN of 0017-8470, the journal serves as a vital platform for disseminating high-quality original research, comprehensive reviews, and detailed case reports that bridge the gap between clinical practice and fundamental scientific inquiry. Its scope encompasses the diagnosis, therapeutic management, pathological mechanisms, and emerging technological applications within dermatology, appealing to a broad audience of clinicians and researchers. Although the journal maintains a solid reputation in the dermatological community and is indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), it is a subscription-based publication with an impact factor hovering around 1.5, typically placing it in the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) journal rankings for the medical category. This positioning suggests that while Hautarzt remains a respected venue for publishing clinically relevant and innovative studies, authors should carefully consider its relative citation metrics and competitive landscape when aligning their submission strategies with their specific research goals.
