Journal Title：Rheumatology International

RHEUMATOLOGY INTERNATIONAL is an independent journal reflecting world-wide progress in the research, diagnosis and treatment of the various rheumatic diseases. It is designed to serve researchers and clinicians in the field of rheumatology.

RHEUMATOLOGY INTERNATIONAL will cover all modern trends in clinical research as well as in the management of rheumatic diseases. Special emphasis will be given to public health issues related to rheumatic diseases, applying rheumatology research to clinical practice, epidemiology of rheumatic diseases, diagnostic tests for rheumatic diseases, patient reported outcomes (PROs) in rheumatology and evidence on education of rheumatology. Contributions to these topics will appear in the form of original publications, short communications, editorials, and reviews. "Letters to the editor" will be welcome as an enhancement to discussion. Basic science research, including in vitro or animal studies, is discouraged to submit, as we will only review studies on humans with an epidemological or clinical perspective. Case reports without a proper review of the literatura (Case-based Reviews) will not be published. Every effort will be made to ensure speed of publication while maintaining a high standard of contents and production.

Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.

《風(fēng)濕病學(xué)國際》是一本獨立雜志，反映全球各種風(fēng)濕病研究、診斷和治療的進(jìn)展。它旨在為風(fēng)濕病學(xué)領(lǐng)域的研究人員和臨床醫(yī)生服務(wù)。

《風(fēng)濕病學(xué)國際》將涵蓋臨床研究以及風(fēng)濕病管理的所有現(xiàn)代趨勢。將特別強調(diào)與風(fēng)濕病相關(guān)的公共衛(wèi)生問題、將風(fēng)濕病研究應(yīng)用于臨床實踐、風(fēng)濕病流行病學(xué)、風(fēng)濕病診斷測試、風(fēng)濕病患者報告結(jié)果 (PRO) 以及風(fēng)濕病教育證據(jù)。這些主題的貢獻(xiàn)將以原始出版物、簡短通訊、社論和評論的形式出現(xiàn)。歡迎“致編輯的信”，以增強討論。我們不鼓勵提交基礎(chǔ)科學(xué)研究，包括體外或動物研究，因為我們只會從流行病學(xué)或臨床的角度審查人類研究。未經(jīng)適當(dāng)文獻(xiàn)審查的病例報告（基于病例的審查）將不予發(fā)表。我們將盡一切努力確保出版速度，同時保持高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的內(nèi)容和制作。

提交出版的手稿必須包含一份聲明，說明所有人類研究均已由適當(dāng)?shù)膫惱砦瘑T會審查，因此已按照 1964 年《赫爾辛基宣言》適當(dāng)版本規(guī)定的道德標(biāo)準(zhǔn)進(jìn)行。文中還應(yīng)明確說明，所有人在參與研究之前均已知情同意。應(yīng)省略可能泄露研究對象身份的細(xì)節(jié)。

Rheumatology International創(chuàng)刊于1981年，由Springer Berlin Heidelberg出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋醫(yī)學(xué) - 風(fēng)濕病學(xué)全領(lǐng)域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認(rèn)可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約16.月 ，影響因子指數(shù)3.2，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
