Titel på föreläsningen:

Peer-reviewed journal editing as a service to the international human factors and ergonomics research community

Abstract
Publish or perish, despite being a questionable mantra, echoes throughout the research community. Spanning half a dozen volumes, over a period of 8 years, from its launch, the content of the IJHFE, an international peer-reviewed journal in the interdisciplinary field of human factors and ergonomics, has been diverse. This can be seen in terms of topic coverage over the years, as well as country of affiliation of the corresponding authors of the articles. Started primarily as an outlet for publication of ongoing doctoral research, it was only in the latest volume that, together with a former doctoral student, the IJHFE’s editor co-authored a research article, signaling perhaps the threshold of a new stage for the journal. Launch, growth and steady flow are three phases in the history of the journal that can be identified and characterized in terms of the challenges, and, what, in hindsight, may be considered success factors.
