Access to Ergonomics Australia On-Line will is provided free as a service to the international community of ergonomists, and related professions. The international community is also invited to submit contributions for publication in Ergonomics Australia On-Line , subject to a (rapid) review process. Reports of basic or applied research are welcomed, but other material which does not readily find outlet in archival journals are especially encouraged. Suitable items would include critical reviews of literature, case studies, teaching materials, work in progress, and items of anecdotal, speculative, controversial, or even polemic character. Anything related to ergonomics/human factors in the broadest sense will be considered. Prospective authors are invited to discuss their proposed submission with the editor.
One aim of the journal is to allow opportunity for authors to receive feedback, either privately or publicly, and to stimulate discussion and debate, which can take place in the form of letters and responses linked to the hypertext edition. Hypertext also has the advantage of allowing incorporation of graphics, or (low quality) video. Graduate students in particular, especially those for whom attendance at international conferences is expensive, may find this a cost-effective way of publicising their work.
Submission may occur in a variety of ways. Authors conversant with hypertext markup language may prefer to send final html files, otherwise documents saved as Rich Text Format are preferred, although any common format should be fine. Files should be sent as an attachment to email, or copied to 3.5" floppy and sent by post (provide an email address for reply if possible please).
All submissions, proposals, expressions of interest, (or offers to edit a special issue!), should be sent to the Editor:
