encouraging because this suggests that studies are including diverse patient cohorts that may reflect local demographics. Skin of color-relevant articles and Scopus ranking analysis Interestingly, there was a moderately negative relationship between two measures of Scopus rank (Scopus CiteScore and Scopus Percentile) and the percentage of publications on SoC. This suggests that from 2018 to 2020, higher-ranked journals tended to publish a smaller proportion of articles on SoC compared with lower-ranked journals. If journals publishing the highest proportion of articles on SoC are cited less frequently, research on SoC may be less widely disseminated and thus SoC topics less visible in the dermatology literature. Another particularly surprising observation from this study was the large number of case reports featuring patients with SoC. When factoring in the number of case reports focusing on patients with SoC, journals like Cutis (5.08%-18.62%), Pediatric Dermatology (4.52%-28.36%), and Contact Dermatitis (4.19%-12.26%) experienced significant increases in their percentage of publications on SoC. If we had not surveyed the abstracts of all case reports published, this is a finding that would likely have been overlooked. It is likely that there were more case reports that featured patients with SoC but were missed due to race not being specified and/or images being inaccessible. Journals such as Annals of Dermatology that featured a thumbnail image preview for all publications likely were ranked highly because missing a patient of color was less likely owing to the availability of preview images for all articles. Additionally, to promote equity and inclusion within the dermatological literature, we recommend that any publication featuring a person with SoC use the keyword “skin of color” to help readers better identify literature that could aid in the treatment of patients with SoC. Study limitations This study is subject to several limitations. We intentionally limited our tier 2 criteria to include diseases that commonly affect patients with SoC due to the pigmentation of their skin or the curl pattern of their hair. However, in doing so, we may have failed to capture other articles on dermatological conditions that are particularly relevant to people with SoC, such as discoid lupus, hidradenitis suppurativa, atopic dermatitis, and sarcoidosis. Furthermore, case reports that did not provide race/ethnicity demographic information or include a photo of a patient with SoC were not included and may have resulted in further uncaptured articles. Similarly, it is plausible that in including case reports with most authors from an SoC country in tier 1B, we are overcalculating the number of case reports focused on patients with SoC, and, although unlikely, it is possible that a case report from an African country featured a White patient. Additionally, our criteria included nonoriginal articles (e.g., CME, letters from the editor, corrections, and retractions), which may have inflated the total number of articles and resulted in a lower percentage of articles on SoC. Alternatively, we included case series that presented one patient with SoC even if the remainder or majority of cases in the series were non-SoC to ensure that we captured all SoC-relevant publications. Finally, similar to how including race/ethnicity in clinical patient presentations is becoming increasingly discouraged (Acquaviva and Mintz, 2010), it is possible that authors are intentionally withholding race/ethnicity from their case presentations and that some relevant studies were thus uncaptured based on our criteria. With respect to the complexity of this limitation, we encourage practitioners and researchers to include Fitzpatrick skin type when presenting dermatology patients clinically and within the literature to avoid practicing race-based medicine, while still acknowledging and appreciating the inherent biological differences found in different skin colors (Taylor, 2002). Conclusion The dermatological literature is one of the key sources of information for treating patients with SoC. The results of this study document the current standing of the dermatological literature with respect to publishing SoC-relevant content. Our findings suggest that the percentage of
