Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health
We hope you enjoy the first issue of 2014 of the Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health, an internationally renowned journal in the field of occupational health and safety (OSH), published by the Nordic Association Occupational Safety and Health (NOROSH). Number 1 contains two reviews, both available free-of-access, one on the association between long working hours and health and the second on occupational chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Several other articles are also available at no cost. As we start to see the demand for open access publishing increase, in 2014 the Journal has introduced more options for making manuscripts open access. We appreciate your feedback on this and any other issues that are important to our readers, reviewers, and authors.
