Call for Papers: Occupational Health Disparities
The American Journal of Industrial Medicine (AJIM) is inviting papers
for a Special Issue on Occupational Health Disparities that advance
the scientific knowledge on the topic. Jim Cone of the New York City
Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Kerry Souza of the Harvard
School of Public Health, and Sherry Baron of the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health will serve as Guest Editors of this
special issue.
Manuscripts may be analytic or descriptive in content and will present
current evidence on the nature and extent of disparities in
occupational health associated with belonging to socially
disadvantaged groups, discuss methods whereby these disparities may be
studied, and propose theory for the for the role of social factors in
the etiology of poor occupational health outcomes (or alternatively,
disproportionately high occupational exposures). AJIM is especially
interested in papers for this special issue in the following areas:
§ Descriptive studies that report on occupational health outcomes in
understudied groups of disadvantaged workers
§ Analytic studies of the predictors of occupational health outcomes
among disadvantaged worker groups
§ Reports on novel or infrequently applied methods of occupational
disease, injury, and hazard surveillance that specifically seek to
capture the occupational health experience of minority, immigrant, and
low wage etc. workers. This would include approaches for collecting
data among hard-to-reach populations and those populations that are
typically undercounted by traditional occupational health surveillance
systems and underrepresented in administrative data used for OSH
surveillance purposes
§ Articles that advance the theory of causation of disparities in
occupational health, including the use of data to test hypotheses
regarding the role of race, ethnicity, gender, social status,
socioeconomic position etc. in the etiology of occupational health
outcomes
§ Methodological approaches to the analytic study of occupational
health disparities, such as approaches to the understanding of
confounding and interaction in occupational health studies
§ Data analysis arising from modifications to health surveillance
systems that employ data linkage or other means to include or access
information demographic and socioeconomic indicators, focusing on
improved capture of health outcome by occupation
§ Studies focusing on surveillance, analysis etc. of disparate
exposures are also invited
§ Other scientific papers that address the objectives (described
above) of this issue
Articles are typically 2,500-3,000 words in length. Longer
manuscripts, when appropriate, will be considered. All manuscripts
reviewed and approved by the Guest Editors and the AJIM Editorial
Board will be sent for external peer review. When submitting a
research article, please note that AJIM seeks to publish research that
is fully developed and original. AJIM does not accept preliminary
reports or reports of studies that are only incrementally different
from previously published research. Include a structured abstract
(Objectives, Methods, Results and Conclusions) of up to 250 words.
AJIM also publishes practice articles describing innovative public
health programs and initiatives, their current status and documented
outcomes.
The deadline to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue is August1,
2008. Please submit all articles electronically in Microsoft Word.
Online submission is required at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ajim
.Please note: This journal does not accept Microsoft WORD 2007
documents at this time. Please use WORD's "Save As" option to save
your document as an older (.doc) file type. Further author
instructions may be found below and also at Wiley's Journal Styles and

AJIM Instructions for Authors
All manuscripts submitted to American Journal of Industrial Medicine
must be submitted solely to this journal, may not have been published
in any part or form in another publication of any type, professional
or lay, and become the property of the publisher. Upon acceptance of a
manuscript for publication, the author will be requested to sign an
agreement transferring copyright to the publisher, who reserves
copyright. No published material may be reproduced or published
elsewhere without the written permission of the publisher and the
author. The journal will not be responsible for the loss of manuscript
at any time. All statements in, or omissions from, published
manuscripts are the responsibility of the authors, who will assist the
editors by reviewing proofs before publication. Reprint order forms
will be sent with the proofs. Except for color charges noted below, no
page charges will be levied against an author or institution for the
publication in the journal. All manuscripts must be written in
English. Submit the original and two copies (including tables and
illustrations) typed on one side of good quality 8 x 11 inch paper
with at least one-inch margins. Double space everything. Start a new
page for each major division of the manuscript. Number all pages in
sequence, beginning with the title page. Arrange the copy in the
following order:
Title Page. This should contain the complete title of the manuscript;
names; academic degrees; and affiliations (to the department level) of
all authors; institution at which the work was performed; name,
address, telephone and telefax numbers, and address for
correspondence; and a short title (running head) of not more than 45
characters; all grant information in the following format: Grant
sponsor:______; Grant number:_________.
Abstract. This should consist of 100-150 words. The abstract should be
composed of four paragraphs, labeled Background, Methods, Results, and
Conclusions.
Key Words. Five to ten key words that will adequately index the
subject matter should follow the abstract.
Text. The text should generally use the following format:
Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion. Use
subheadings and paragraph titles whenever possible. For abbreviations,
follow the guide-lines in CBE Style Manual, 4th Edition (available
from the Council of Biology Editors, Inc., 11 South LaSalle St.,
Chicago, IL 60603-1210). Use generic names for all drugs and
pharmaceutical preparations. Trade names may be mentioned in the
Methods section. Place acknowledgments as the last element of the
text, before references. The text of letters to the editor cannot
exceed two double-spaced typewritten pages.

All color figures will be reproduced in full color in the online
edition of the journal at no cost to authors. Authors are requested to
pay the cost of reproducing color figures in print. Authors are
encouraged to submit color illustrations that highlight the text and
convey essential scientific information. For best reproduction,
bright, clear colors should be used. Dark colors against a dark
background do not reproduce well; please place your color images
against a white background wherever possible. Please contact Karen
