Another milestone unlocked!
We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of Phase II: From Protocol to Data under the JPAD Author Support Program, Lahore Chapter!

Hosted at the prestigious King Edward Medical University (KEMU) in proud collaboration with the Dermatology Unit-II KEMU, this session brought together passionate researchers ready to elevate their academic writing and research journey.

A massive thank you to our expert facilitator, Mr. Umar Farooq (HOD Biostatistics, IPH, Lahore), for his invaluable insights on mastering data and biostatistics, and to everyone who made this event a resounding success.
Empowering the next generation of researchers—one step at a time!

We are proud to announce a historic milestone in the journey of JPAD; for the very first time, DOIs have been enabled for all research articles published through the JPAD online platform so far!

A DOI (Digital Object Identifier) is essentially a permanent digital identity for a research article, making it easier to find, access, track and cite anywhere in the world.

This achievement fulfils an important PMDC requisite and, more importantly, takes JPAD another step forward towards stronger global visibility and academic recognition. Better visibility brings more citations, stronger journal metrics and ultimately moves us closer to our bigger goal, an Impact Factor.

A truly proud moment for the entire JPAD Editorial Board, and hopefully one of many more milestones to come, Insha’Allah!

JPAD Research Spotlight

Every published article has the potential to improve the way we diagnose, treat and understand skin diseases. Through JPAD Research Spotlight, we bring important research from the pages of JPAD into a concise, visual format, helping busy clinicians discover evidence that matters in daily practice.

This week's spotlight explores the dermoscopic features of Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) and highlights how dermoscopy can enhance diagnostic confidence by recognizing characteristic clues. We invite you to explore the poster and read the complete article.
