Rheumatology Advances in Practice (RAP) continues to be at the forefront of sharing and helping to disseminate knowledge related to rheumatology. In addition to being a fully open access journal, we have the privilege of interviewing authors for the Talking Rheumatology Research podcast and, in 2022, we introduced lay summaries with the aim of being even more inclusive. Lay summaries encourage our authors to explain their research and innovative ideas in clear, easily understood language, leading to improved accessibility for everyone, including the public, patients and non-specialists. We believe that the advances developed by our researchers and authors should benefit as many of our readers as possible. To facilitate this, we have provided detailed guidance to authors on how to write the lay summaries, focusing on the question, ‘What does this research mean for patients?’ [1].
Of course, all that we publish in RAP is made possible by our selfless reviewers. We are humbled by the ever-growing number of experts who, supported by our approachable editorial team, take time to review for us, imparting their knowledge and experience to help ensure that our publications are scientifically robust and relevant. We hope that they enjoy being the first to read new, ground-breaking research and the satisfaction of seeing their efforts come to fruition when these articles are published.
We would therefore like to thank every one of our dedicated reviewers. We truly appreciate your time and expertise. Thank you, all!
