The Journal of Rheumatology publishes timely clinical research papers every month, both in print and online. With thousands of citations per year, The Journal of Rheumatology’s influence and reach extends to over 3600 subscribers globally and to all active members of the Canadian Rheumatology Association, including rheumatology residents and trainees. Since it was established over 40 years ago, The Journal of Rheumatology’s content remains highly relevant to rheumatologists because of the emphasis on continuity while embracing innovation.

With over 1600 submissions a year from over 50 countries, each issue of The Journal of Rheumatology includes original clinical research articles, metaanalyses, systematic reviews, editorials, historical vignettes, case reports, and letters by world-renowned experts studying drug therapy, patient-reported outcomes, discovery of therapeutic targets in the treatment of rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases.

The Journal of Rheumatology features proceedings of national and international conferences or symposia presented by renowned rheumatologists from Canada and abroad in The Journal of Rheumatology Supplements. These timely supplements typically highlight reports on the mechanisms of rheumatic diseases and updates on emerging therapies.

Clinical Highlights for the Rheumatologist

Articles that appear in CHR have been selected from the most recent issues of The Journal of Rheumatology by the Editor-in-Chief for their high interest to the clinical rheumatologist.
