Special Issue

We now announce our latest Special Issue: Protocols for Systematic and Scoping Reviews   Systematic (and Scoping) reviews should be performed based on a protocol which describes the rationale and hypothesis and documents the methodological strategies to achieve a strong and reproducible research framework. For that reason, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Statement gathers a 17-item based guideline extension for protocols, PRISMA-P (2015), which mediates all stages of research, starting with the preparation and reporting of the protocol for both systematic and scoping reviews.   This special issue will gather protocols in the most varied areas of occupational safety and health (OSH) that include but are not limited to:   - Ergonomics, - Industrial hygiene - Work and environment - Occupational risk and accidents - Risk and emergency - Traffic and driving - Training - Psychosocial issues - Management - Occupational health - Health monitoring - Sensors - New technologies in OSH - Internet of things - Virtual and augmented reality - New trends   Guest Editor J. Duarte, Associated Laboratory for Energy, Transports and Aeronautics - LAETA (PROA) & Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, PT   Submission deadline: 31^st October, 2023
