The aim of the Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health is to promote research in the fields of occupational and environmental health and safety and increase knowledge through the publication of scientific articles, reviews and other information of high interest in occupational health and safety. The topics of the Journal include the interactions between work and health, that is, subjects like occupational epidemiology, occupational health, occupational medicine, occupational hygiene and toxicology, occupational health services, work safety and ergonomics, and work organization. Currently, areas of high relevance are musculoskeletal disorders, workhours, mental health, job stress, return to work, and intervention research. In addition, studies related to economic evaluation and translational research (from the laboratory to practice) are valued.

The Journal also publishes short communications, case reports, commentaries, discussion papers, clinical questions, consensus reports, meeting reports, other reports, book reviews, news, and announcements (jobs, courses etc).

The Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health is a hybrid journal, we publish both "locked" and open articles
