The Lancet Rheumatology is an independent journal committed to publishing content relevant to rheumatology specialists worldwide, with a focus on studies that advance clinical practice, challenge the status quo, and advocate change in health policy. The journal publishes clinical research (with a focus on clinical trials), expert reviews, and provocative comment and opinion relating to the diagnosis and classification, management, and prevention of rheumatic diseases, including arthritic, musculoskeletal, and connective tissue diseases, as well as disorders of the immune system. The journal also publishes high-quality human translational studies that are supported by robust clinical data, with priority given to studies that identify potential new therapeutic targets, advance efforts toward precision medicine, or have the potential to directly inform future clinical trials.

With a strong clinical focus, The Lancet Rheumatology provides an independent voice for the rheumatology community and advocates strongly for the improved lives of patients with rheumatic diseases around the globe.
