Core Subject : Health,
AAt Safety and Health for Medical Workers (SHMW; P-ISSN: 3048-3786, E-ISSN: 3047-9460), we measure the value of research not by indexation alone, but by credible novelty, methodological rigor, and demonstrable benefit to frontline practice. High indexing can amplify dissemination, yet it is secondary to evidence that reduces exposure, strengthens infection prevention, improves ergonomics, and supports psychosocial well-being across healthcare settings. We therefore prioritize manuscripts that propose bold, testable ideas; report transparent methods and reproducible analyses; and translate findings into implementable solutions for workers, institutions, and policymakers. We welcome implementation studies, mixed-methods designs, replications, and well-documented null or negative results, alongside open data/code and stakeholder co-design. Our commitment is simple: if research does not meaningfully improve safety and health at work, it remains incomplete regardless of ranking. We invite authors who share this purpose to advance actionable science with SHMW.
