At the 2023 General Meeting of the Basque Society for Rheumatology, our Editor-in-Chief, Prof. Fernando Perez-Ruiz, introduced Exploration of Musculoskeletal Diseases (EMD). In a concise introduction, Prof. Perez-Ruiz highlighted the journal's mission and vision, emphasizing our commitment to advancing musculoskeletal research. He also noted our major progress achieved, such as obtaining the ISSN number, including 38 excellent experts in the Editorial Board, and launching 10 special issues, etc. At the same time, before January 31, 2028, we will waive APC fees for all authors to encourage the submission of high-quality manuscripts.

The presentation has opened doors for us, and we are eager to involve more individuals in promoting the journal. We encourage and welcome additional participation in our promotional activities, and we will provide the necessary support.

With increased engagement and support, we believe that the journal will play a more substantial role in advancing the understanding of musculoskeletal diseases.
