About the journal
Occupational and Environmental Medicine
ISSN: 1351-0711
Brief description of the journal
Occupational and Environmental Medicine is a monthly journal concerned with areas of current importance in occupational medicine and environmental health issues throughout the world. Original contributions include epidemiological,physiological and psychological studies of occupational and environmental health hazards as well as toxicological studies of materials posing human health risks. A methodology series gives authoritative summaries of modern methods relevant to the subject area. A correspondence section provides a forum for debate and notification of preliminary findings.
Instructions to Authors
Occupational and Environmental Medicine is intended primarily for the publication of original contributions relevant to occupational and environmental medicine, including epidemiological studies and toxicological studies of chemicals, industrial, agricultural, and environmental importance.
Articles may be submitted as full papers (up to 5000 words) reporting original research, short papers (up to 1500 words) or case reports. We publish few case reports and those we do cover important new ground, rather than emphasising previously known associations. Editorials, leaders and articles in the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and World at Work series are usually commissioned. Authors wishing to submit such an article or any other review article should first contact the Editor to discuss the suitability of the proposed submission. We also welcome the submission of black and white photographs and short accompanying text for Images in OEM, and short fillers (up to 300 words) covering interesting or instructive experiences in the general field of occupational and environmental medicine. Letters to the Editor are always welcome, and authors should initially submit their letter on the OEM's website using the e-letter (rapid resonse) facility.

Papers reporting results of studies on human subjects must be accompanied by a statement that the subjects gave written, informed consent and by evidence of approval from the appropriate ethics committee. These papers should conform to the principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki (BMJ 1964;ii:177). Contact details of the corresponding author, including a telephone number, fax number and e-mail address, must be provided at submission.
Authors are asked to declare any conflict of interest. If requested, authors shall produce the data on which the manuscript is based, for examination by the Editor. All authors are required to grant Occupational and Environmental Medicine an exclusive licence for publication.
Authors are asked to submit with their manuscript the names and addresses of three people who they consider would be suitable independent reviewers. They will not necessarily be approached to review the paper.
Papers
Papers are considered on the understanding that they are submitted solely to this Journal and do not duplicate material already published elsewhere. In cases of doubt, where part of the material has been published elsewhere, the published material should be included with the submitted manuscript to allow the Editor to assess the degree of duplication. The Editor cannot enter into correspondence about papers rejected as being unsuitable for publication, and the Editor's decision in these matters is final.
Papers should not normally exceed about 5000 words and should include a structured abstract of not more than 300 words, under headings of Objectives, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Please include up to three keywords or key terms to assist with indexing.
Papers should follow the requirements of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (BMJ 1991;302:338-41). Papers and references must be typewritten in double spacing on one side of the paper only, with wide margins. SI units should be used. Revised manuscripts should be submitted as hard copy and on disk. Detailed instructions will be provided on invitation to revise.
Short reports
Short reports (including case reports) should be not more than 1500 words including a brief abstract. They should comprise sections of Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion with not more than one table or figure and up to 10 references. The format of case reports should be Introduction, Case report, and Discussion.
Main Messages
Authors of papers and short reports should include with their submission a summary box of up to five main messages from the work and a box of up to three policy implications of the work.
Illustrations
Black and white illustrations (artwork) can be supplied as (or exported as) EPS files. Our preferred formats are Illustrator or Corel Draw. Black and White images (photographs) can be supplied as TIFF files, to a minumum of 300 dpi. This will ensure the quality of the final image. Our preferred format is Photoshop. Digital graphics supplied in formats other than thase listed above may be refused due to quality considerations. Wherever possible colour images should be supplied digitally. These should be on formatted floppy disks as TIFF files, preferably at a minimum resolution of 600 dpi or high quality JPEG files. All graphics should be supplied along with three hard copies of the figure. Legends to figures should be supplied on a separate sheet of paper, and included in the electronic text file with the manuscript and references.
Abbreviations
Authors should submit a list of the abbreviations used in their paper or short report.
References
References will not be checked by the editorial office; responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of references lies with the authors. Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Identify references in texts, tables, and legends by Arabic numerals enclosed in square brackets. References cited only in tables or in legends to figures should be numbered in accordance with a sequence established by the first identification in the text of a particular table or illustration. Include only references essential in the argument being developed in the paper or to the discussion of results, or to describe methods which are being used when the original description is too long for inclusion. Information from manuscripts not yet in press or personal communications should be cited in the text, not as formal references.
Use the Vancouver style, as in this issue for instance, for a standard journal article: authors (list all authors when three or fewer, when four or more list only three and add et al), title, abbreviated title of journal as given in Index Medicus (if not in Index Medicus give in full), year of publication, volume number, and first and last page number.
Proofs
Contributors will receive one proof. Only minor corrections can be made at this stage; corrections other an printer's errors may be charged to the author.
Tables
Reprints
Reprints will be charged for. The number of reprints required should be stated on the form provided with the proofs.
Where possible, tables should be submitted in the same format as your article and embedded in the article (preferably where cited). Tables should be self-explanatory, and the data they contain must not be duplicated in the text or figures.

Bench>Press CANNOT accept Excel files. In extreme circumstances, Excel files can be uploaded as supplementary files; however, if you article is accepted it will be returned to you before processing to enable you to embed the tables in the text. Excel files can easily be copied and pasted into your Word file.
