The Australian Rheumatology Journal (ARJ) is a diamond open access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing high-quality, impactful Australian musculoskeletal research.
The journal will publish original research articles, systematic reviews, practice guidelines, research protocols, qualitative research, and scholarship across narrative medicine and the health humanities.
ARJ will foreground Australian-specific practice issues, including Indigenous health, rural and remote care, and implementation research. ARJ is being developed to serve clinicians, trainees, early-career researchers, allied health professionals, and the broader musculoskeletal and rheumatology community, including people living with musculoskeletal and rheumatic conditions. The journal will be a home for ARA-supported research, Annual Scientific Meeting abstracts, and advanced trainee projects.
The Australian Rheumatology Journal is currently in development, with a dedicated journal website and submission information to be released in the coming months.
