title: Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology 1955-2005: development and state of the Journal on its 50th anniversary.
abstract: The Scandinavian Society for Rheumatology was founded in Copenhagen in September 1946 and is still actively stimulating cooperation among rheumatologists in the Scandinavian countries by organising biannual Scandinavian congresses, and by circulating an international scientific publication, the Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology, now celebrating its 50th anniversary. We hope that the newly implementation of web-based submission of manuscripts and peer reviewing, together with the new cover and change in the Journal's contents, will be of benefit to our authors, reviewers, and readers. At the Editorial Office we express our hope for a continuous and fruitful collaboration with the many people involved in the Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology. Our thanks are due to those who made it possible over the past 50 years to publish a journal of high scientific quality within the field of rheumatology.
