Occupational and Environmental Medicine

The BMJ Publishing Group is pleased to announce that the full text of
Occupational and Environmental Medicine is now available online.

Occupational and Environmental Medicine is a monthly journal concerned
with areas of current importance in occupational medicine and
environmental health issues throughout the world.  Original contributions
include epidemiological, physiological and psychological studies of
occupational and environmental health hazards as well as toxicological
studies of materials posing human health risks. A methodology series gives
authoritative summaries of modern methods relevant to the subject area. A
correspondence section provides a forum for debate and notification of
preliminary findings.

Occupational and Environmental Medicine online contains the full content
of each issue of the journal, including all figures and tables, beginning
with the January 2000 issue (Volume 57, Number 1).  The full text is
searchable by keyword, and the cited references include hyperlinks to
Medline and to the online full text of many other frequently-cited
journals.  PDF files are available beginning in January 1998 (Volume 55,
Number 1), and abstracts are available beginning with the January 1994
issue (Volume 51, Number 1).

Each issue will be placed online approximately on the date it is mailed to
subscribers; therefore the online site will be available prior to receipt
of your paper copy.  The June 2000 issue (Volume 57, Number 6) is the
latest issue online, and the next issue is scheduled to be online on June
9.  Online readers may want to sign up for the Customised @lerts service
(eTOCs), which will deliver each new issue's table of contents via email.  
The web site also provides access to information about the journal (such
as Instructions to Contributors and subscription information), as well as
access to the BMJ Publishing Group's web site.

There is currently a free trial period for access to Occupational and
Environmental Medicine, which will be available until July 8, 2000.  
Subsequent to the free trial, access to the full-text of articles will be
available by institutional license, which comes with all institutional
subscriptions, or individual subscription available to print subscribers.  
All other access (e.g., to Abstracts, eTOCs, searching, Instructions to
Authors) will remain freely available.

We very much encourage you to sign the guestbook on your first visit to
the site.  This will take only a minute or two, and it will provide us
with helpful information about who the online readers are and how they are
connecting to the site.  In addition, we would appreciate comments,
critiques, questions, or suggestions from you; these can be sent via the
Feedback link found on all pages of the site. Feedback from readers will
help us decide what new features would be most valuable for the site and
how well it is working for its readers.

The site is being produced in conjunction with Stanford University's
HighWire Press, which also works with other medical and research journals,
including these frequently-cited journals: International Journal of
Epidemiology, BMJ, Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, and
Journal of the National Cancer Institute.  You may find a list of online
