New Editorial Leadership of the International Journal of Pediatric Dermatology

2025-05-27

The International Journal of Pediatric Dermatology (ISSN 3035-1006), official publication of the World Health Academy of Dermatology and Pediatrics, proudly announces a significant step forward in its evolution as a premier platform for pediatric dermatology research.

 

As part of an ambitious development plan aimed at strengthening scientific quality, increasing global collaboration, and achieving indexing in Scopus, the journal has appointed a new editorial leadership team:

 

  • Prof. Fabio Arcangeli – Editor-in-Chief

  • Prof. Giuseppe Ruggiero – Executive Editor

 

With decades of combined experience in dermatology, pediatrics, and academic publishing, Professors Arcangeli and Ruggiero bring visionary leadership and a renewed commitment to excellence. Their appointment marks a pivotal moment in the journal’s mission to become an international reference point for researchers, clinicians, and institutions working at the intersection of dermatology and pediatrics.

  “We are entering a new era for the International Journal of Pediatric Dermatology, one that focuses on global visibility, scientific rigor, and meaningful clinical impact,” said Milo Dolci, CEO of the World Health Academy Publishing House. “With the new direction, we are ready to launch innovative editorial projects, including special issues, academic collaborations with Master’s and PhD programs, and congress-related publications.”         Honoring the Founding Editors

The journal also wishes to express heartfelt appreciation to Prof. Ianina Massimo and Prof. Jose Antonio Massimo (Argentina), who have served as the Founding Editor-in-Chief and Deputy Editor-in-Chief. Their leadership during the journal’s foundational phase has been instrumental in setting high academic standards and establishing its identity in the scientific community.

 

They will now hold the honorary titles of Founding Editors, remaining actively involved in future initiatives, editorial contributions, and international outreach.

  What’s Next?  

Under its new direction, the International Journal of Pediatric Dermatology will focus on:

 

  • Publishing cutting-edge research and case reports in pediatric dermatology

  • Launching Special Issues aligned with global dermatological congresses and academic programs

  • Expanding its editorial board with international experts in immunology, allergology, legal medicine, microbiology, and other relevant disciplines

  • Enhancing its peer review standards and editorial workflow

  • Laying the groundwork for Scopus and PubMed indexing

 

We invite researchers, clinicians, and institutions worldwide to submit their manuscripts, propose themed issues, and join this new chapter in advancing pediatric dermatology.
