11 JEADV Impact Factor soars
The Impact Factor and ranking of a journal is a global measure of its quality and calibre and is still highly influential, amongst additional metrics, in attracting submissions and subscriptions. We are delighted to announce that the JEADV (Journal of the European Academy of TDermatology and Venereology) 2017 Impact Factor has jumped from 3.528 to 4.287, the highest in its history and is now ranked 7th of out 63 journals in the dermatology category. A great achievement! The Impact Factor is calculated by the number of citations in 2017 to items published in 2015 and 2016 divided by the number of citable items in 2015 and 2016. The graph on the next page shows how it has grown in the last five years. Not only has the Impact Factor increased, so has the five-year Impact Factor, the Article Influence, Immediacy Index and the Eigenfactor. Take a look on the next page at some of the articles that were influential in achieving this result. “The JEADV 2017 Impact As you can see, this top 10 list illustrates a Factor has jumped from mixture of guidelines, original articles and 3.528 to 4.287, the highest in position papers. its history and is now ranked 7th of out 63 journals in the Free online access to EADV members dermatology category.

The origin of wax dermatologic 1870 as a modeller to the hospital under modelling is closely connected with the the instruction of Lailler and his famous work of three European pioneers: Franz dermatologist colleagues. Baretta did not Heinrich Martens (German, 1778-1805), work exclusively for the Saint-Louis. Several Joseph Towne (British, 1806-1879) and other hospitals and private dermatologists TAnton Elfinger (Austrian, 1821-1864). even in foreign countries bought models from him. He therefore gradually gained The French dermatologist Charles Lailler an international reputation. When Baretta (1828-1898) introduced the moulage Prof Martine retired in 1914, he had cast approximately Bagot to the Hôpital Saint-Louis in the late 3,000 models for the Saint-Louis. 1860s. Lailler met by chance an artist who would become one of the most We do not know very much about the important moulageurs in the history of methods and substances Baretta used dermatologic modelling. One day in 1864, for his moulding and casting processes. as Lailler strolled through the Passage Laboratory research has shown that Jouffroy in Paris, he noticed a small shop his moulage material was a “mixture of Moulages still represent that sold realistic fruit imitations made beeswax and a resin that may have been “ gutta-percha”. He moulded the negative an important milestone in the out of papier mâché. The artist was from plaster, into which he poured the history of dermatology, the Jules Pierre Francois Baretta (1834-1923), positive mixture that was heated to a history of medicine and the 30 years old, born in Antwerp, Belgium, temperature of about 200°C. history of the representation of and brought up in Ixelles in Brussels. Lailler, deeply impressed by the works the sick person. of Baretta, asked him to attempt some Largest collection in the world ” dermatologic models. The resulting work The steadily growing moulage collection was so successful that it provided the required room, so the directorate of the basis for a long and fruitful collaboration administration of the AP-HP (Assistance between the physician and the artist.

In Lailler, but then secured a contract in 1885, the building was finished and the moulage collection was transferred under Models from the personal supervision of Lailler. The the collection building was inaugurated on 5 August 1889, together with the first International Congress of Dermatology at Saint-Louis and the Universal Exhibition in Paris. The main part of the moulage stock now consisted of dermatologic models, done by Baretta for Lailler. In addition to these, Baretta had also created a series of 510 surgical models for the famous surgeon Jules E Pean (1830-1898). Another set of
