Announcing the Launch of Journal of Scleroderma and Related Disorders

JSRD CoverThe Journal of Scleroderma and Related Disorders (JSRD) is an international, multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, targeting scientists and clinicians interested in scleroderma and other related autoimmune and fibrotic diseases. JSRD is the official journal of the European Scleroderma Trials and Research group (EUSTAR) and the World Scleroderma Foundation, which supports scleroderma research in all its aspects and is committed to improving the quality of life for scleroderma patients and their families.

This journal is the first and only peer-reviewed publication to focus entirely on scleroderma and related disorders and publishes high quality, original research articles on the epidemiology, natural history, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment and outcome of these diseases, as well as reviews and thought-provoking editorials and commentaries. JSRD aims to become the leading reference journal in the field of scleroderma and related disorders worldwide.

Launched in February 2016 to coincide with the 4th Systemic Sclerosis World Congress held in Lisbon, JSRD publishes three issues per year and additional supplements. The standards of the Journal are set high by a distinguished, international editorial board whose expertise span scleroderma, systemic sclerosis, and other related diseases. Professors Marco Matucci-Cerinic and Masataka Kuwana were appointed as the first Editors-in-Chief and have embarked on this compelling endeavour with great enthusiasm. The first volume has seen a number of first class articles, as well as publishing the abstracts from the Lisbon meeting.

The project of JSRD is ambitious and challenging for the whole community of clinicians and researchers who are devoted to the understanding of the disease. However, the Editorial Board are excited to embark on this compelling endeavor, and are confident that JSRD will soon be an important journal and communication platform for the entire community of scleroderma and related conditions.
