IISE Transactions on Occupational Ergonomics and Human Factors

Aims & Scope

IISE Transactions on Occupational Ergonomics & Human Factors aims to improve human-system performance and enhance human health and safety.

The journal has a primary and fundamental emphasis on people at work.

We are committed to enhancing communication and information transfer between researchers and practitioners in the occupational ergonomics and human factors discipline.

Multidisciplinary investigations are particularly encouraged, and the journal welcomes a variety of submissions, including those that are analytical, experimental, applications, or viewpoints.

Submissions from practitioners are also strongly encouraged (e.g., case reports, emerging issues, applications, and letters to the editor).

We seek to compile and disseminate knowledge on: · Occupational ergonomics and human factors theory, technology, application, and practice · Technology to improve human-system performance and enhance human health and safety · Physical, cognitive, and organizational ergonomics and human factors
