| The first 150 words of the full text of this article appear below. |
EULAR (European League against Rheumatism), the umbrella
organisation of the European professional societies dealing with rheumatic diseases has undergone many changes in the past years. This
was necessary as Europe has changed and the practice of medicine has
evolved. Medicine now needs to be evidence-based, continuing education
is becoming obligatory and has to be proven, postgraduate education is
being standardised, to give a few examples. EULAR had thus to assume
new activities to guide and to coordinate all these activities within
Europe. Communication among its societies and their members is thus
very important. An official scientific journal will improve
interactions and will stimulate its readers. It must have a wide
distribution, a large reputation and to be in the lingua franca of
today, namely English. EULAR has been very fortunate to be able to join
the Annals of the
Rheumatic Diseases, the oldest European rheumatology
journal in English that
