Scope

• Facilitating discovery, integration, application and translation of scientific knowledge within human factors and ergonomics is the purpose printed on the aims page, a remit that keeps the discipline itself at the centre.宗旨页写明的目的是在人因与工效学内部推动科学知识的发现与整合，也推动这些知识走向应用与转化，这一表述把学科本身放在中心位置。
• The scope statement adopts a definition from the International Ergonomics Association in 2019, which calls the field the scientific discipline concerned with understanding interactions among humans and other elements of a system.范围说明沿用国际工效学协会（International Ergonomics Association）2019 年的定义，把人因与工效学称为一门研究人与系统其他要素之间相互作用的科学学科。
• The definition carries a second half, the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design so that human well-being and overall system performance are both optimised.定义的后半句接着给出职业的一面，也就是运用理论与原理，也运用数据和方法从事设计，以优化人的福祉与系统整体绩效。
• Papers are invited across the full span of the discipline, and the four dimensions named in the aims are physical, cognitive, organizational and systems HFE.稿件可以覆盖学科的完整范围，宗旨点明的四个维度是物理人因、认知人因，以及组织人因与系统人因。
• Manufacturing and service industries remain the historical centre of gravity, yet the aims say this focus is not exclusive, which leaves room for work drawn from any sector.制造业与服务业仍是历史上的重心所在，宗旨同时说明这一侧重并不排他，来自任何行业的稿件因此都有位置。
• Four kinds of contribution are named, namely theoretical and methodological development, testing and evaluation of HFE methods, translation of theory into practice, and novel applications in new domains.刊物点名四类贡献，包括理论与方法学的发展，也包括人因方法的检验与评估、理论向实践的转化与新领域里的新颖应用。
• Because the field is interdisciplinary, the journal reaches into system design and engineering, into social and organizational behaviour and safety, and into health and well-being.学科本身的交叉性让刊物延伸到系统设计与工程，也延伸到社会与组织行为及安全，还延伸到健康与福祉。
• A gate sits above all of this, since submitted articles should involve the application of HFE theory or methods and should carry a clear and substantive contribution to knowledge in HFE specifically.上述范围之上还有一道硬门槛，稿件必须应用人因与工效学的理论或方法，并对这一学科本身作出清晰而实质的知识贡献。
• Illustrative topics begin with work design and analysis, training and education, teamwork, and risk assessment with accident analysis and investigation, all offered as examples rather than as a fence around the remit.具体主题从工作设计与分析开始，接着是培训与教育，也包括团队协作，以及风险评估与事故分析调查，这些只作举例，并不构成范围围栏。
• Physical ergonomics appears through anthropometry, cognitive ergonomics through situation awareness, workload and decision making, and systems ergonomics through design, complexity and accident causation.物理人因以人体测量为代表，认知人因落在态势感知与工作负荷上，也涉及决策，系统人因则涉及系统设计与复杂性，还涉及事故致因。
• Advanced manufacturing technology is named on its own, together with the human factors side of CAD and CAE, agile manufacturing, and the place of ergonomics in total quality management, safety and injury prevention.先进制造技术单列一项，计算机辅助设计与辅助工程的人因层面也在其中，敏捷制造同样在列，工效学在全面质量管理与工伤预防里的位置也被点到。
• Worker health and well-being follow, along with the ergonomics of workplaces, equipment and tools, then automation and robotics, the internet of things, artificial intelligence, and systems analysis and design.劳动者健康与福祉紧随其后，工作场所与设备工具的人机工程也在范围内，再往后是自动化与机器人，以及物联网、人工智能和系统分析与设计。
• An exclusion list sits at the end of the scope statement, naming human resource management, biology, and mathematics and computer science as outside the remit.范围说明末尾附有一份排除清单，人力资源管理与生物学被明确排除，数学与计算机科学同样不在收稿之列。
• Sustainability research, psychological research, organizational psychology and design applications are excluded when they carry no HFE theory or methods, and so are practice reports that add no new HFE knowledge.不含人因理论或方法的可持续性研究被排除，心理学与组织心理学研究同样如此，设计应用也一样，没有新增人因知识的实务报告不在此列。
• Readers are given as researchers and practitioners together, among them industrial and manufacturing engineers, managers, shop-floor supervisors, ergonomics specialists, safety scientists and human-computer interaction specialists.读者被写成研究者与从业者的合体，其中有工业与制造工程师，有管理者与车间主管，也有人因专家、安全科学工作者与人机交互专家。

History

• Volume 1, number 1 of the predecessor serial carries a January 1991 date in the Crossref record, and the journal counts its founding from that year.前身刊物的第 1 卷第 1 期在 Crossref 记录里标注为 1991 年 1 月，刊物的创刊年就由此算起。
• That original title was International Journal of Human Factors in Manufacturing, registered under ISSN 1045-2699 with 1522-7111 as its electronic counterpart, and Wiley published it throughout.当时的刊名为 International Journal of Human Factors in Manufacturing，纸本号 ISSN 1045-2699，电子号 1522-7111，出版方一直是 Wiley。
• Six volumes appeared under the old name between 1991 and 1996. The current title opens with volume 7 in 1997, and its earliest records are issues 1, 2 and 4 of that year.1991 年至 1996 年间旧名之下出满 6 卷。现名自 1997 年第 7 卷启用，最早的记录是这一年的第 1 期、第 2 期与第 4 期。
• Numbering crossed the rename without a break, so volume 7 simply followed volume 6, and the sequence now reaches volume 36 in 2026 with one volume for each calendar year since the launch.卷号跨越更名没有中断，第 7 卷直接接在第 6 卷之后，自创刊起一年一卷，这条序列到 2026 年已经排到第 36 卷。
• Six numbers fill each volume on a bimonthly rhythm, and the latest four in the 2026 volume carry May, July, September and November dates.每卷按双月节奏排满 6 期，2026 年这一卷最近的四期分别标为 5 月、7 月、9 月与 11 月。
• The National Library of Medicine still records a quarterly frequency for the title, a description that has fallen behind the six issues published each year.美国国家医学图书馆（National Library of Medicine）的记录里仍写着季刊，这一描述已经落在每年 6 期的实际安排之后。
• In Crossref records the suffix Service Industries appears only sporadically through the mid-2000s and settles into every record from volume 17 in 2007, which is a cataloguing shift rather than a second rename.在 Crossref 的记录里，刊名后缀 Service Industries 在 2000 年代中期只是零星出现，自 2007 年第 17 卷起才条条都有，这属于编目口径的变化，算不上又一次更名。
• Wiley Periodicals LLC holds the copyright line, the imprint has stayed with Wiley across both titles, and the editorial office answers through a wiley.com address.版权行署 Wiley Periodicals LLC，两个刊名之下的出版方都是 Wiley，编辑部也通过 wiley.com 的邮箱对外联络。
• Both Web of Science editions index the journal, Science Citation Index Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index, so the title is searchable from engineering and from the social sciences.Web of Science 的两个版次都收录这份刊物，即 Science Citation Index Expanded 与 Social Sciences Citation Index，工程与社会科学的检索都能查到它。
• Journal Citation Reports files it twice, at 14th of 24 in Ergonomics under the social science edition and at 57th of 71 in Engineering, Manufacturing under the science edition.Journal Citation Reports 把它登记在两个类目，社会科学版的工效学类 24 种里排第 14 位，科学版的制造工程类 71 种里排第 57 位。
• The first placing is third quartile and the better of the two, while the manufacturing category returns a fourth quartile in the 2025 edition.前一个位次属于第三四分位，是两个类目里较好的一个，制造工程类在 2025 年版中落在第四四分位。
• The impact factor stood at 1.699 in 2022, climbed to 2.2 in 2023, held that value in 2024 and reached 2.4 in 2025, against a five-year figure of 2.6.影响因子 2022 年为 1.699，2023 年升到 2.2，2024 年维持在这一水平，2025 年达到 2.4，五年影响因子为 2.6。
• Turnaround is quick for a double-blind title, at 12 days median from submission to first decision, and the acceptance rate stands at 9 percent with roughly 31 articles a year.对一份实行双盲的刊物来说，处理速度偏快，投稿到首次决定的中位数为 12 天，录用率 9%，每年发文约 31 篇。
• Access is hybrid. Authors may pay to open an article, gold open access accounts for 31.63 percent of recent content, and the subscription route costs authors nothing.访问模式为混合型。作者可以选择付费开放单篇文章，近年内容里金色开放获取占 31.63%，走订阅路线则不向作者收费。
