Human Factors and Ergonomics Society

The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, established in 1957, is a multidisciplinary professional association of more than 4400 persons in the United States and throughout the world. Its members include psychologists, engineers, designers, and scientists, all of whom have a common interest in designing systems and equipment to be safe and effective for the people who operate and maintain them. HFES holds an annual meeting in the fall and publishes, besides Human Factors, a technical quarterly highlighting application of human factors/ergonomics research (Ergonomics in Design), a monthly newsletter, and an annual membership directory. Members receive all these publications as a benefit of membership, as well as discounts on other HFES books and the annual meeting proceedings.

Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, published since 1958, is a peer-reviewed research journal presenting original papers of scientific merit that contribute to the understanding and advancement of the systematic consideration of people in relation to machines, systems, and environments.
