Nature Publishing Group (NPG) is delighted to announce that the Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR) has named Nature Clinical Practice Rheumatology as a publication that it endorses and recommends to the clinical communities in the regions that it serves.
APLAR spearheads the fight against arthritis.

“We are delighted to be partnering with Nature Publishing Group in this way,” commented Dr CS Lau, President of APLAR. “Nature Clinical Practice Rheumatology seems an obvious fit for our community of professional clinicians who will appreciate the way that the journal shows how the latest findings in rheumatology research can be applied to practice. We look forward to working with NPG and building our relationship with them.”
“I am very pleased that NCPR has developed a partnership with a dynamic organization, such as APLAR,” added Dr Peter Lipsky, Editor in Chief of Nature Clinical Practice Rheumatology. “Rheumatology is rapidly growing in the Asia Pacific region and APLAR is at the center of that development. I believe that the goals of the journal and APLAR are completely consonant and therefore I look forward to a mutually rewarding relationship.”
