Publish in the Annals
There are many benefits to publishing research in the journal.
A key question applied is, "Is this paper going to help readers better understand, quantify, and control conditions at work that adversely or positively affect health and wellbeing?"
Our editorial team welcomes submissions of high-quality scientific research on topics covered within the journal’s scope.
If you're considering the Annals as the home for your research, please read the Author Guidelines for more information on the types of material published, how to prepare a submission, the editorial and publication process, and specific requirements of the journal.
