Human Factors Peer Review Journals

Human factors are human science at work. It is largely about knowing human potential and then extending this information to the design of facilities, devices, structures, and work processes. Human factors can include feedback from several backgrounds (e.g. programmers, architects, psychologists, managers) and are deemed a combination of psychology and engineering. Human factors can be described as having four key goals: health enhancement; error reduction; convenience enhancement; and efficiency increase. Human factors are important because they help make the work more efficient, more effective, and more secure. Organizations that address human factors will ensure that their workers can use machines and equipment easily and safely. Applying human factors enables plant/equipment and procedures to be designed with the user in mind, taking human capabilities and limitations into consideration so that people work in harmony with technology. The Journal of the Human Factors peer-reviewed academic articles on human factors / ergonomics that address theoretical and functional developments about the interaction between people and technology, resources, conditions, and processes. Papers published in Human Factors leverage basic knowledge of human capabilities and limitations — and basic understanding of cognitive , physical, behavioural, physiological, social, developmental, affective, and motivational aspects of human performance — to yield design principles; enhance training, selection, and communication; and ultimately improve interfaces with the human system and socio-economics.
