IJOE supports open, responsible data sharing for occupational and environmental health research. Authors should deposit data and code in trusted repositories when possible, with clear access instructions.

We recognize that worker datasets require controlled access due to privacy, consent, or regulatory constraints. Authors should document restrictions and access pathways.

• General data repositories such as Zenodo, Figshare, or Dryad
• Environmental and exposure data repositories with controlled access
• Clinical or occupational cohorts with data use agreements
• Geospatial repositories for environmental monitoring datasets
• Code repositories such as GitHub or GitLab with release tags

Worker identifiers must be removed and data should be de identified in line with applicable privacy regulations. When full sharing is not possible, provide deidentified summaries and clear instructions for requesting access.

Authors should document data governance, including custodians, access review procedures, and consent limits.

• Include repository links or accession numbers in the manuscript
• State licensing terms for data and code when applicable
• Provide documentation for custom scripts or exposure models
• Describe any access restrictions and approval requirements

IJOE is committed to rigorous, transparent publishing in occupational and environmental medicine. We emphasize reproducible exposure assessment, clear reporting of workplace and environmental context, and ethical compliance across all article types.

The editorial office supports authors, editors, and reviewers with clear guidance and responsive communication. For questions about scope or workflow, contact [email protected].

We encourage continuous improvement in reporting practices and share updates that help the community maintain high standards in worker health, environmental safety, and preventive medicine.
