Annals of Work Exposures and Health

期刊简介：About the JournalAnnals of Work Exposures and Health is dedicated to presenting advances in exposure science supporting the recognition, quantification, and control of exposures at work, and epidemiological studies on their effects on human health and well-being. A key question we apply to submission is, "Is this paper going to help readers better understand, quantify, and control conditions at work that adversely or positively affect health and well-being?"We are interested in high quality scientific research addressing:the quantification of work exposures, including chemical, biological, physical, biomechanical, and psychosocial, and the elements of work organization giving rise to such exposures;the relationship between these exposures and the acute and chronic health consequences for those exposed and their families and communities;populations at special risk of work-related exposures including women, under-represented minorities, immigrants, and other vulnerable groups such as temporary, contingent and informal sector workers;the effectiveness of interventions addressing exposure and risk including production technologies, work process engineering, and personal protective systems;policies and management approaches to reduce risk and improve health and well-being among workers, their families or communities;methodologies and mechanisms that underlie the quantification and/or control of exposure and risk.There is heavy pressure on space in the journal, and the above interests mean that we do not usually publish papers that simply report local conditions without generalizable results. We are also unlikely to publish reports on human health and well-being without information on the work exposure characteristics giving rise to the effects. We particularly welcome contributions from scientists based in, or addressing conditions in, developing economies that fall within the above scope.

【译文】关于该期刊：工作暴露与健康年报致力于展示暴露科学方面的进展，支持对工作场所暴露的识别、量化和控制，以及对其对人类健康和福祉影响的流行病学研究。我们应用于投稿的一个关键问题是，"这篇论文是否将帮助读者更好地理解、量化和控制对健康和福祉产生不利或有利影响的工作条件？"我们感兴趣的高质量科学研究包括：工作暴露的量化，包括化学、生物、物理、生物力学和心理社会因素，以及导致此类暴露的工作组织要素；这些暴露与暴露者及其家人和社区的健康后果（急性或慢性）之间的关系；特别易受工作相关暴露影响的群体，包括女性、代表性不足的少数族裔、移民和其他易受伤害的群体，如临时、非正式部门工人；解决暴露和风险干预措施的有效性，包括生产技术、工作流程工程和个人防护系统；降低风险和提高工人、其家人或社区健康和福祉的政策和管理方法；量化/控制暴露和风险背后的方法和机制。该期刊对空间有很高的压力，上述兴趣意味着我们通常不发表仅报告局部条件而没有可推广结果的论文。如果没有关于导致这些影响的工作暴露特征的信息，我们也不太可能发表关于人类健康和福祉的报告。我们特别欢迎来自发展中国家或针对上述范围内的条件的科学家的贡献。
