Breve Histórico A Revista Brasileira de Saúde Ocupacional - RBSO - é um periódico científico de acesso aberto e com revisão por pares, editado e publicado pela Fundacentro desde 1973. Destina-se à difusão de artigos originais de pesquisas sobre Segurança e Saúde do Trabalhador (SST) cujo conteúdo venha a contribuir para o entendimento e a melhoria das condições de trabalho, para a prevenção de doenças e acidentes do trabalho e para subsidiar a discussão e a definição de políticas públicas relacionadas ao tema. A revista visa, também, incrementar o debate técnico-científico entre pesquisadores, educadores, legisladores e profissionais do campo da SST. Nesse sentido busca-se agregar conteúdos atuais e diversificados na composição de cada número publicado, trazendo também, sempre que oportuno, contribuições sistematizadas em temas específicos. A partir de 2016, a RBSO deixou de ser publicada no formato de edições seriadas (números) e adotou o sistema de publicação contínua (rolling pass), passando a manter um volume anual on-line com a publicação individualizada e continuada de manuscritos. Acesso Aberto A RBSO segue o modelo Diamante de Acesso Aberto (Diamond Open Access), sem cobrar taxas para publicação e permitindo o acesso virtual sem restrição (incluindo restrições financeiras) a todos os textos científicos publicados pelo periódico. Acesso aberto é a condição em que o detentor dos direitos autorais de um trabalho acadêmico concede direitos de uso a terceiros usando uma licença aberta (Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY), permitindo acesso gratuito imediato ao trabalho e autorizando qualquer usuário a ler, baixar, copiar, distribuir, imprimir, pesquisar ou vincular os textos completos dos artigos, rastreá-los para indexação, passá-los como dados para software ou usá-los para qualquer outra finalidade legal. Em qualquer uso, é obrigatório citar a fonte e dar o crédito ao(s) autor(es) do trabalho original. A melhor prática é informar o(s) nome(s) do(s) autor(es), o título do artigo e o link para a publicação original. Conformidade com a Ciência Aberta O movimento Ciência Aberta propõe diretrizes para a prática científica colaborativa, compartilhada e pública. A RBSO tem por perspectiva o alinhamento do periódico com a Ciência Aberta, incluindo o modelo de publicação em acesso aberto, o aceite de manuscritos publicados em servidores de preprints, a abertura dos dados de pesquisa e demais conteúdos subjacentes aos artigos, assim como a abertura progressiva
