Dermsquared has appointed Dr. April Armstrong, as Editor-in-Chief of the Dermatology Online Journal (DOJ), succeeding Barbara Burrall. Dr. Armstrong’s appointment marks the next phase in the journal’s nearly 30-year history as a leading open-access publication in dermatology.
An internationally recognized expert in inflammatory skin diseases, Dr. Armstrong is known for her work in clinical research and evidence-based dermatologic practice. As Editor-in-Chief, she will oversee DOJ’s editorial direction and maintain its commitment to scientific rigor and accessibility.

Under Dr. Armstrong’s leadership, the journal will continue to emphasize high-quality, evidence-based research and foster international collaboration within the dermatology community.
Dermsquared, the platform behind DOJ, was established to support dermatology professionals through peer-driven collaboration, education, and research dissemination.
