Information for Potential Authors of On-line CME Modules
The ASDS and Dermatologic Surgery are actively recruiting authors to write CME
modules. Modules consist of a referenced manuscript and a test. Resources are
available to place the test on the web site once the module is accepted. Manuscripts
will be considered that review various aspects of dermatologic surgery. Authors that
intend to write a module can reserve that topic for up to 9 months so that duplicate
manuscripts are not written. A list of acceptable or desirable topics is available
by request. While it is not possible to guarantee publication, topics and outlines
can be submitted for suggestions prior to writing the manuscript and test. A stipend
of $750.00 will be paid for each manuscript that is accepted.
Manuscript Preparation
Dermatologic Surgery (DSO) publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of dermatologic
surgery and oncology, including clinical studies. DSO is the official publication
for the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, American College of Mohs
Micrographic Surgery and Cutaneous Oncology, International Society for Dermatologic
Surgery, North American Society of Phlebology, International Society of Hair Restoration
Surgery, and The International Society of Cosmetic Laser Surgeons.
To ensure the timely publication of articles submitted to DSO, the following guidelines
are in place: 1) all articles submitted for publication will receive a decision from the
editorial office in 4 weeks after submission; 2) authors can expect manuscripts to be
published within 5 to 7 months of submission, provided that revision is not required.
Expedited Publication. Expedited Manuscripts will appear in print within 4 months
of submission provided that revision is not necessary. To be considered an Expedited
Manuscript, a paper must be no longer than 10 pages in length and must be judged by the
Editorial Board to be of great potential interest and importance. Authors can
suggest that their papers be placed in this category. The final decision is the
Editor's.
