Journal of Skin Cancer Epidemiology

Advancing population-level understanding of skin cancer through rigorous surveillance, statistical modeling, and public health research

Advancing Skin Cancer Epidemiology Worldwide

The Journal of Skin Cancer Epidemiology (JSCE) is an open-access, peer-reviewed publication dedicated to advancing population-level research on skin cancer. We publish original epidemiological studies, surveillance reports, statistical modeling analyses, and public health investigations that illuminate patterns, risk factors, and preventive strategies at the population scale.

JSCE bridges the gap between descriptive epidemiology and actionable public health policy, connecting researchers, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and health policy professionals who seek evidence-based solutions to reduce the global burden of skin cancer.

Scope & Epidemiological Focus

JSCE publishes research that advances population health understanding of skin cancer. Our scope emphasizes epidemiological methods, surveillance systems, statistical modeling, risk factor identification, and public health interventions. We focus on population-level patterns rather than individual patient management.

Descriptive Epidemiology

Incidence rates, mortality trends, prevalence studies, geographic variation, temporal patterns, demographic analyses

Risk Factor Analysis

UV exposure patterns, occupational risks, genetic predisposition at population level, behavioral risk factors, environmental determinants

Disease Surveillance

Cancer registry data, surveillance methodologies, early detection programs, screening uptake patterns, monitoring systems

Statistical Modeling

Predictive models, spatial analysis, time-series forecasting, burden of disease estimation, survival analysis at population level

Public Health Interventions

Prevention campaigns, sun safety programs, policy evaluation, health education effectiveness, community-based strategies

Health Systems Research

Access to screening, healthcare utilization patterns, cost-effectiveness analyses, policy implementation studies, disparities research

Nutrition & Lifestyle

Population-level dietary patterns, lifestyle behaviors, protective factors, chemoprevention strategies in cohort studies

Genetic Epidemiology

Hereditary factors in populations, gene-environment interactions, familial clustering patterns, genetic susceptibility screening

    Discipline Focus: JSCE prioritizes epidemiological and public health research. While we recognize the clinical importance of diagnosis and treatment, our journal focuses on population-level patterns, surveillance methods, and public health strategies rather than individual patient care protocols.

Author Testimonials

I cannot say enough about how good my experience working with OAP was. Submission is easy, and responses from the editorial staff respond promptly and professionally. The entire process from submission to PDF was completed in weeks rather than months.

— Phillip Brumm, University of Wisconsin-Madison

My experience was very positive working with OAP. My manuscript review was very thorough and I appreciated the attention to detail. I would recommend submitting a manuscript.

— Patricia Doyle-Baker, University of Calgary
