Baillière's Clinical Rheumatology (ACR)

Baillière’s Clinical Rheumatology was a peer-reviewed medical review journal dedicated to the clinical and scientific aspects of rheumatology. First published in 1987, the journal formed part of the respected Baillière’s Clinical series, which focused on providing authoritative thematic reviews written by international experts. Each issue concentrated on a specific topic such as inflammatory arthritis, connective tissue disorders, vasculitis, metabolic bone disease, and emerging therapies for autoimmune conditions. The journal aimed to bridge basic immunological research with clinical practice, offering up-to-date insights into disease mechanisms, diagnostic strategies, and patient management. Articles were structured as comprehensive reviews rather than original research reports, making the journal particularly valuable for clinicians, postgraduate trainees, and academic researchers seeking synthesized knowledge. During the late 1990s, Baillière’s Clinical Rheumatology was incorporated into the Best Practice & Research series and continued as Best Practice & Research: Clinical Rheumatology, expanding its international scope and maintaining its emphasis on evidence-based clinical guidance. The journal contributed significantly to the advancement of rheumatologic education and supported improved standards of care in musculoskeletal and autoimmune disease management worldwide.
