The Australian Rheumatology Journal (ARJ) is a diamond open access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing high-quality, impactful Australian musculoskeletal research.

The ARJ publishes original research articles, systematic and scoping reviews, practice guidelines, research protocols, qualitative research and audit reports. Health humanities scholarship is welcome.

ARJ foregrounds Australian-specific practice issues, including Indigenous health, rural and remote care, and implementation research. ARJ serves clinicians, trainees, early-career researchers, health professionals, and the broader musculoskeletal and rheumatology community, including people living with musculoskeletal and rheumatic conditions. The journal is the home for ARA-supported research, Annual Scientific Meeting abstracts, and advanced trainee projects.
