25 Articles on Pain

A Scopus review was recently conducted for research articles and reviews on the search terms “Work AND Pain” for the years 2008-2017 across all journals covered in the database. Fields included in the search were title, abstract and keywords. The search retrieved 19,501 articles of which 16,512 were research articles and 2,989 reviews were published in our journal, WORK.

There is a significant upward trend over the last nine years in the number of documents published on pain in WORK. To date (June 2018) and since the original Scopus search, an additional 1,174 documents have been published. We are honored that WORK is home to a significant number of articles in this field, and has in fact,  published more pain-related articles than any of the ”recognized” pain journals.

“In addition to a special issue of WORK (61:3) devoted to work and pain, we are delighted to make available a special collection of 25 articles on pain that have previously been published in WORK and are openly available. We hope this will help you to advance your knowledge in this important topic.”
