Recent Trends in Homepages of Occupational Health Journals on the Internet: Yuki K amibeppu , et al . Department of Public and Occupational Health Nursing, School of Health Sciences, University of Occupational and Environmental Health —The usefulness of homepages (HP) of twelve occupational health journals including the Journal of Occupational Health was assessed by using the HP of the British Medical Journal as the “gold standard”. There was a wide range of available information and functions for the HP of the ten occupational health journals with URL addresses. Basic information such as instruction to authors and table of contents was provided in most journals, but few journals provided innovative functions such as access to full texts. There is room for improvement in HPs of most occupational health journals to serve as a convenient tool and source of information for the relevant professionals.
