【 摘 要 】

In times of information deluge, editing and publishing a scholarly journal is increasingly dependent on digital tools and artificial intelligence.1 To a large extent, this is a positive trend which drives mass proliferation of scholarly articles and online journals across academic disciplines. Rheumatology as a research-intensive discipline may particularly benefit from the emerging digital evaluation tools, systematic search engines, distribution platforms, and repositories. Currently, processing journal submissions through advanced online systems allows detecting major inconsistencies and mistakes in research reporting and formatting manuscripts. Such systems, linked to regularly updated reviewer instructions of global editorial associations and supported by external bibliographic searches, enable fast evaluation of the novelty, originality, methodological rigour, and implications of the manuscripts by peer reviewers.
