Publishing Resources
Whether you're a student, teacher, or professional, publishing is a critical activity that advances the field of HF/E. Students need to be informed of plagiarism and copyright issues while producing papers and pursuing research related to their degree. Teachers need to educate students about these issues, while at the same time publishing their own research findings. Professionals apply this research daily at work and publish their own articles and research.

Peer Review
