The journal is organized to address concerns in the fields of Simulation, Artificial intelligence, Task (project management), Human factors and ergonomics and Cognition. The journal focuses on Simulation but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Workload, Visual perception, Perception and Audiology. The research on Artificial intelligence tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Machine learning and Computer vision.
The study on Task (project management) presented in the journal intersects with subjects under the field of Human–computer interaction. Human factors and ergonomics research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Computer security, Applied psychology, Injury prevention, Suicide prevention and Occupational safety and health. The in-depth study on Cognition also explores topics in the intersecting field of Cognitive psychology.
The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Cognitive psychology, apply to Social psychology as well.
The journal publications mainly deal with areas of study such as Simulation, Human factors and ergonomics, Task (project management), Cognition and Artificial intelligence. The featured Simulation studies in the journal publications mainly concentrate on Human–computer interaction but also cover areas of interest in User interface. The studies on Task (project management) discussed at the journal papers can also contribute to research in the domains of Automation and Workload.
Human Factors investigates areas of study like Human–computer interaction, Task (project management), Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Applied psychology and Workload. Human–computer interaction research featured in Human Factors incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Value (mathematics) and Robot, Human–robot interaction. Human Factors addresses concerns in Task (project management) which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Cognitive load, Cognition and Artificial intelligence.
Cognition research discussed connects with the study of Cognitive psychology. While work presented in Human Factors provided substantial information on Physical medicine and rehabilitation, it also covered topics in Kinematics and Motor control. While it focused on Workload, it was also able to explore topics like Automation, Simulation, Situation awareness and Air traffic control.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Human Factors (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Human Factors (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 3.85% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.14% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 18.29% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.57% of all publications and 48.00% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
