IJOE prioritizes structured metadata and DOI registration so occupational and environmental health research is discoverable across scholarly platforms. Indexing helps evidence reach clinicians, safety leaders, and policymakers who rely on validated data.

Our production workflow includes metadata validation and citation checks to improve discoverability and long term accuracy.

IJOE maintains core identifiers and metadata services that support reliable citation, cataloging, and discovery across platforms.

• ISSN registration for consistent journal identification
• DOI assignment and metadata registration via Crossref
• Google Scholar discoverability subject to inclusion and crawling guidelines

• Accurate author names, affiliations, and ORCID identifiers
• Funding sources, grant numbers, and conflict disclosures
• Structured abstracts with clear objectives and results
• Occupational and environmental health keywords and hazard terms
• Complete references with DOIs where available

Authors help improve discoverability by providing complete metadata, accurate references, and clear funding statements. Well structured abstracts and keywords improve visibility for occupational and environmental health audiences.

• Include ORCID identifiers where available
• Use standardized hazard and exposure terminology
• Provide data repository links and accession numbers
• Ensure citations match reference lists
• Provide ORCID identifiers for all authors to strengthen metadata matching.
• Use standardized occupational health keywords and relevant MeSH terms.
• Include funding agency names and grant numbers for metadata completeness.
• Ensure author affiliations include institution names and country information.
• Confirm DOI links are accurate and resolve correctly.
• Ensure references include year, volume, issue, and page ranges.
• Provide corresponding author email for indexing contact.
• Use structured abstracts with clear objectives and outcomes.
• Include industry or job classification keywords when appropriate.
• Ensure article titles are descriptive and avoid unexplained acronyms.
• Include exposure agents or hazards in keywords to improve discoverability.
• List data repository citations separately when required by the repository.
• Check that supplementary files are referenced in the metadata.
• Use consistent author name formatting across manuscript and metadata.
• Provide ethics or trial registration identifiers when applicable.
• Confirm funding acknowledgements are consistent across manuscript files and metadata submission forms.
• Include geographic location or setting keywords where relevant.
• Ensure measurement units and abbreviations are standardized.
• Provide version numbers for datasets when citing database releases.
