2020 marks the 30th anniversary of WORK: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment & Rehabilitation. In recognition of this achievement, we have taken a look back starting with the first issue to identify the landmark articles that have helped shape the journal’s contribution to advancing the field.

For 30 years, WORK has made significant contributions to the advancement of the science of work. I would like to personally thank the many professionals globally who have contributed to the journal, the prestigious editorial board that has helped guide its development, and the dedicated peer reviewers, who have given their time and expertise that contributed to the high quality of submissions.”
