What the journal is asking
Four questions, and the work that answers them
These are the questions the field turns on. A manuscript that answers any one of them belongs here, whatever method it uses to do it.
- What are people actually exposed to, and how do we know?Industrial hygiene, personal and environmental monitoring, biomonitoring, and the analytical methods and biomarkers that make one measurement comparable with another.
- What does an exposure do to health?Occupational and environmental epidemiology, surveillance and registry work, clinical studies of exposure-related disease and injury, and the mental-health and psychosocial consequences of work.
- What removes the exposure, and does it work?Control measures, prevention and health-promotion programs, regulation and standards, and the implementation and evaluation research that tests whether any of it reached the people it was written for.
- What should the clinician in front of the patient do?Exposure history, diagnosis of occupational and environmental disease, fitness for work, rehabilitation and return to work, and the case reports that make an unfamiliar exposure recognizable.
Eligible work
The evidence has to match the claim
Observational, analytical, methodological, clinical, surveillance-based, preventive, synthesis and policy or implementation work all belong here. A manuscript does not need field sampling, a clinical outcome, or experimental validation to be eligible; the evidence has to match the claim it makes.
Exposure may be chemical, physical, biological, ergonomic, psychosocial or environmental. Mechanistic and laboratory work is welcome where it advances understanding of real human exposure, its assessment, or its prevention. The test the journal applies is the connection to people: a study earns its place when its findings can be traced to human exposure, health, surveillance, prevention or care.
