Annals of Work Exposures and Health
Scope & Guideline
Championing open access to vital health research.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Occupational Exposure Assessment:
The journal frequently publishes studies assessing exposure levels to various occupational hazards, including chemical, biological, physical, and ergonomic risks. This includes the development and validation of exposure assessment tools such as job exposure matrices and innovative sampling techniques. - Health Outcomes Related to Work Exposures:
Research focusing on the health impacts of occupational exposures, including chronic diseases, mental health issues, and acute health outcomes, is a core area of publication. The journal highlights studies that investigate the relationships between specific exposures and health effects across different industries. - Intervention Studies and Policy Implications:
Papers that evaluate interventions aimed at reducing occupational exposures and improving worker health are prominently featured. This includes randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and policy analysis, providing insights into effective strategies for occupational health improvements. - Emerging Risks and Technologies:
The journal addresses new and emerging occupational health risks, particularly those associated with technological advancements, such as nanotechnology and artificial intelligence in workplace settings. This includes studies on the implications of these technologies for exposure and risk management. - Cross-disciplinary Research:
Research that incorporates perspectives from various disciplines, including epidemiology, toxicology, psychology, and engineering, is encouraged. This interdisciplinary approach enriches the understanding of occupational health challenges and solutions.
Trending and Emerging
- COVID-19 Related Research:
There is a significant increase in studies focused on the impacts of COVID-19 on workplace health, including infection control measures, mental health implications, and the effectiveness of personal protective equipment (PPE). This trend highlights the urgent need for research addressing health risks associated with pandemics. - Mental Health and Psychosocial Risks:
Research examining mental health issues related to occupational stress, burnout, and workplace violence is on the rise. This reflects a growing awareness of the importance of psychosocial factors in occupational health and the need for comprehensive mental health interventions. - Wearable Technology and Real-Time Monitoring:
The use of wearable sensors and real-time monitoring technologies to assess exposure and health outcomes is gaining traction. Studies exploring the effectiveness of these technologies in improving occupational safety and health management are increasingly featured. - Sustainability and Occupational Health:
Emerging research focuses on the intersection of sustainability practices and occupational health, exploring how environmentally friendly practices can impact worker safety and health outcomes. This theme addresses the growing emphasis on sustainable work practices. - Health Equity in Occupational Health Research:
There is an increasing focus on health equity, examining how socioeconomic factors, race, and gender affect occupational exposures and health outcomes. This trend highlights the importance of addressing disparities in occupational health research and interventions.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Risk Factors in Isolation:
There has been a noticeable decrease in studies that focus solely on traditional risk factors, such as exposure to specific chemicals or physical hazards, without considering their interactions with other workplace factors or broader health determinants. - Longitudinal Studies with Limited Scope:
Longitudinal studies that only assess a narrow range of health outcomes related to specific exposures, without integrating psychosocial factors or broader occupational health frameworks, appear to be declining in frequency. - Generalized Workplace Safety Protocols:
Research centered on generic workplace safety protocols, without tailoring to specific industries or contexts, is becoming less frequent. There is a growing emphasis on context-specific interventions that address unique challenges faced by different sectors. - Focus on Non-Occupational Health Factors:
There is a waning focus on non-occupational health factors, such as lifestyle and community influences, that impact worker health. The journal is increasingly prioritizing studies that integrate occupational and non-occupational health determinants.
