The historical series of Occupational Medicine is available in digital format

The Italian Society of Occupational Medicine and the editorial staff of La Medicina del Lavoro proudly announce that the entire collection of the journal since 1901 is now available in digital format. The years up to 1925 were published under the masthead "Il Lavoro", which became the current one from 1925, i.e., from volume 16.

The link to the historical series of the magazine can be obtained through the Libraries Service of the State University of Milan at the link https://collezioni.unimi.it/dcb/rivlavoro/index.php. Pending IT developments, access to all volumes identified by year is guaranteed. Once you have obtained access to the volume (all years) or the file (from 1972 to 2002), you can search for individual words or strings by typing Ctrl+F and filling in the window that opens at the top right. From 2003 onwards, the journal is now accessible at https://mattioli1885journals.com/index.php/lamedicinadellavoro.

Our journal can fully adhere to the Open Science process thanks to the agreement between SIML, the State University of Milan, and the publisher "Mattioli 1885". This philosophy encourages transparency, reproducibility, and responsibility in scientific research. It aims to make the research results accessible to all in a free and open way, respecting the authors’ intellectual property to be acknowledged through the citation of their work.

La Società Italiana di Medicina del Lavoro e la Redazione de La Medicina del Lavoro annunciano con orgoglio che l'intera collezione della rivista dal 1901 è ora disponibile in formato digitale. Le annate fino al 1925 sono state pubblicate sotto la testata “Il Lavoro”, divenuta quella attuale dal 1925, cioè dal volume 16.

Il collegamento alla serie storica della rivista si ottiene tramite il Servizio Biblioteche dell’Università Statale di Milano al link https://collezioni.unimi.it/dcb/rivlavoro/index.php. In attesa di sviluppi informatici, è garantito l’accesso a tutti i volumi identificati dall’annata. Una volta ottenuto l’accesso al volume (tutte le annate) o al fascicolo (dal 1972 al 2002), si possono ricercare singole parole o stringhe digitando Ctrl+F e riempendo la finestra che si apre in alto a destra. Dal 2003 in poi la rivista è accessibile al sito https://mattioli1885journals.com/index.php/lamedicinadellavoro.

Grazie all’accordo tra SIML, Università Statale di Milano e la casa editrice “Mattioli 1885”, la nostra rivista può vantare la piena adesione al processo Open Science, una filosofia che incoraggia la trasparenza, la riproducibilità e la responsabilità nella ricerca scientifica e mira a rendere i risultati della ricerca accessibili a tutti in modo gratuito e libero, nel rispetto della proprietà intellettuale degli autori, da riconoscere attraverso la citazione del loro lavoro.
