We’re pleased to announce the 2021 Impact Factor for Rheumatology, an official journal of British Society for Rheumatology.


The 2021 Rheumatology impact factor is 7.046. This brings the 5-year impact factor to 7.156, with the journal ranked in the top quartile for rheumatology. 

While the new impact factor is a small decrease from 2020’s impact factor, owing to a change in the calculation method, the new impact factor and strong 5-year impact factor for Rheumatology are a testament to the excellent work done by our Editors, authors and reviewers. 

“This is due to all our members and the international community sending in solid work; we would like to thank them as well as our reviewers for this good news,” commented Editor-in-Chief Marwan Bukhari.

Rheumatology is currently calling for submissions. To submit a submission inquiry, please email us at editorial@rheumatology.org.uk
