November 2015 marks the 10th anniversary of the launch of Nature Reviews Rheumatology, originally published under the title ofNature Clinical Practice Rheumatology. To celebrate this milestone, we have commissioned a collection of articles to summarize the major advances in rheumatology over the past decade. These articles, together with a special infographic, provide an authoritative snapshot of rheumatology in 2015 and how the field might progress over the next 10 years.
