ROSEMONT, Ill. , July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology remains the top peer-reviewed journal in its field, according to the 2023 journal impact factor rankings recently published by Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports (JCR) Web of Science Group.

JAAD's 2023 impact factor is 12.8. This places JAAD in the No. 1 position among 94 dermatology-related journals ranked by JCR in this period.
