Aims & Scope

Aims

Theoretical and Applied Ergonomics (ISSN 3042-7126) is an international and interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open-access journal. Our aim is to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and educators to publish and access innovative research that advances the understanding and application of ergonomic principles across diverse domains, ultimately contributing to the enhancement of human well-being, performance, and safety in various contexts.

Theoretical and Applied Ergonomics publishes research articles, reviews, editorials and communications, though other article types will also be considered. Research methods and experimental results must be outlined in sufficient detail so that the results can be reproduced. Therefore, there is no maximum length for submissions.
