International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics

Aims & Scope

The International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics (JOSE) is a refereed interdisciplinary quarterly journal.

Published since 1995, its paramount aim has always been to create a platform for presenting results of research in ergonomics and workplace health promotion relevant for the diverse, yet increasingly globalizing world.

Whereas social and economic problems and researchers' modus operandi in various countries and climates are similar, legislation, safety and management culture are not.

We are interested in showing how the same problems are studied and solved in different parts of the world and how the same methods can produce different results.

Comparing those problems and views, in their diversity, helps perceive them in a wider context, in a global perspective.

Our mission involves both looking at each problem in its cultural, social and economic contexts and approaching it from the broad perspective of various fields.

Greater awareness follows, with authors able to connect with fellow researchers in other fields, who work on the same problems.

Even though the principal objective of JOSE is to publish research, we do not perceive this aim as limited to significant original contributions to knowledge; we are also interested in contributions that prove well-known solutions can be used in practice.

Everything that can make work easier and workplace health better is worthy of dissemination.
