SoC to provide comprehensive care to diverse patient populations. Of note, Clinics in Dermatology and Cutis are two of the journals surveyed that have implemented initiatives to devote a portion of their publications to the topic of SoC. Clinics in Dermatology dedicated one issue per year as a SoC issue, and Cutis designated an SoC section in each issue, yet Clinics in Dermatology was well below the 16.8% average in terms of proportion of articles on SoC. Clinics in Dermatology had 6.88% articles on SoC; however, the vast majority of those articles were in the dedicated yearly issue, and the journal published almost no articles related to SoC on a regular basis outside the dedicated issue. Although the yearly issue increases the overall number of articles on SoC published, this also separates the articles from the journal's other articles and may make them less accessible to those who are not actively seeking out publications on SoC. Cutis’ SoC section in each issue is a promising idea and led to 132 publications on SoC, accounting for 18.62% of the journal's total articles over the past 3 years. Both journals’ initiatives are a starting point and should be expanded and improved upon. Based on our findings, we recommend that journals strive to meet a minimum quota of 16.8% articles on SoC per issue, which can be supplemented with dedicated yearly or special-edition issues. Including ≥16.8% SoC content will help promote equitable dermatological care for our diverse patient population. Skin of color article tiers The vast majority of SoC-related publications in our study were published in SoC countries, while a significantly lower percentage of these publications came from non-SoC countries (tier 1B: 61.88% vs. tier 1E: 12.07%). We believe that most articles fell in the tier 1B category because tier 1B was the most broadly inclusive criteria, in that it included both articles in which the title mentioned an SoC country or continent in addition to all case reports in which the authors came from an SoC country. Additionally, SoC countries by definition have a predominant population with SoC; thus, an SOC country is expected to include patients with SoC in their clinical trials and case reports. Tier 1D, which focuses primarily on diversity and inclusion, had the lowest percent of articles (0.55%). Although tier 1D articles made up the lowest number of articles, a study comparing the number of dermatology publications on diversity to other specialties from January 2008 to July 2019 found that dermatology had the greatest number of publications focused on diversity compared with other specialties (Bray et al., 2020). The increase in publications seen over the past 4 years in this 2020 study may be due to the amplified emphasis on diversity and cultural competence in dermatology and the racial unrest plaguing the United States in recent years (Bray et al., 2020). This suggests that, although more articles focusing on diversity and inclusion within the field of dermatology are necessary, dermatology is setting an excellent example for other medical specialties because increasing diversity in the workforce is imperative to improve both access and outcomes for underrepresented patients with SoC (Bray et al., 2020; Qiu et al., 2016). The percent of tier 2 articles focusing on diseases highly pertinent to patients with SoC due to skin pigment and hair curl pattern was significantly lower than the percent of tier 1 articles. Although this is expected given the breadth of subcategories included in tier 1, this value is still quite low. This may be due to the decreased access to dermatological care in the SoC community, leading to limited research dedicated to topics commonly affecting patients with SoC. Geographical origin of articles on skin of color and patient cohorts Of all the non-SoC continents, North America had the greatest number of populations with SoC (16.61%) compared with Europe (4.99%) and Oceania (0.26%). When focusing on the data from North America outlined in Figure 3, it was particularly heartening to see that the majority of articles on SoC (48.6%) focused on historically underserved populations with SoC: Blacks (33.94%) and Latinos (14.66%). The diverse array of patients with SoC represented in the multiple and/or unspecified category is
