JOEH Style and Submission Updates Over the past several months, we have made important revisions to the instructions to authors that more fully explain the manuscript preparation, submission, and revision processes.

This style guide matches the publication formatting (table and figure numbering scheme, reference formatting, etc.), which speeds the typesetting of author proofs.
