【 摘 要 】

Managing a scientific Journal is a challenging task, more so for clinician scientists as they are tasked with the onerous responsibility of guiding an established means of scientific communication. We would like to share our experiences of editing for the Indian Journal of Rheumatology (www.indianjrheumatol.com). The Journal is an official publication of the Indian Rheumatology Association which represents clinicians practicing in this field. The Journal has been in existence for over two decades with 4 quarterly issues and two supplements (one thematic supplement with guest editors and the other containing conference abstracts) every year. In brief, the main challenges faced by the Journal are: attracting good quality original articles, getting indexed in Medline, maintaining the standards of the Journal both online and print, promoting the culture of scientific writing and publications and keeping the younger generation of rheumatologists from India interested in the editorial work for the Journal.
