is a peer-reviewed open access journal on rheumatic diseases and connective tissue disorders. This is an official journal of Indonesian Rheumatology Associantion (IRA) and published twice a year since 2009. Our mission is to encourage the development of scientific and medical practice in rheumatic diseases and connective tissue disorders. This journal is self-focused on rheumatic disease and connective tissue disorders in the form of original article (extended and/or concise reports), review articles, editorial letters, leaders, lesson from memorable cases, book reviews, and matter arising. Both in clinical and laboratory including animal studies.
All unpublished manuscripts are confidential documents. If we invite you to review an article please do not discuss it even with a colleague: if you would like to pass it on to someone else to review please email [email protected] first.
As a reviewer you will be advising the editors, who make the final decision (aided by an editorial committee for all research articles and most analysis articles). We will let you know our decision. Authors - and readers too, if the paper is accepted and published - will see your signed report, so please do not make any comments that you are not prepared to stand by publicly. Even if we do not accept an article we would like to pass on constructive comments that might help the author to improve it.
Before you accept or decline an invitation to review, consider the following questions:
Respond to the invitation as soon as you can - delay in your decision slows down the review process, whether you agree to review or not. If you decline the invitation, provide suggestions for alternative reviewers. Please do not hesitate to contact the receiving editorial office.
Please give detailed and constructive comments (with references, whenever possible) that will both help the editors to make a decision on the article and the authors to improve it.
Not all of these points will be relevant for non-research articles. Please use your discretion about the above list when reporting on other types of article.
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
