The premier publication of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, Human Factors is a peer-reviewed 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. Articles encompassing basic and applied research, quantitative and qualitative approaches to theory, evaluative reviews of the literature, and state-of-the-art reviews cover all aspects of the human-system interface.

Human Factors also features special sections highlighting important areas. In recent years, topics have included fatigue, elderly drivers, training, measurement, visual displays, assisting people with functional impairments, human information processing, expert systems, and vigilance. These special issues can be used as supplementary materials in the classroom.
