Each volume of Reviews of Human Factors and Ergonomics focuses on findings that are applicable in real-world contexts, especially to the design of devices, systems, or processes that people use or with which they interact. The chapters note ways in which research results inform theory or methodology for future research and also emphasize the practical implications of the research that is reviewed. Accordingly, in Volume 1, three chapters focus on research areas and three emphasize areas of application.

"This volume constitutes an excellent illustration of the scope, depth, and practical significance of the contributions the human factors/ergonomics field is making toward safer, more effective, more reliable systems in today's technology-driven society. It should be of interest to a variety of audiences. As the initial volume in a continuing and rather unique series, it sets a superb example for its successors to follow." -- William C. Howell, Adjunct Professor of Psychology, Arizona State University and Rice University
"This first volume documents the current state of the art in a wide-ranging selection of application areas prepared by many of the distinguished leaders in our field. Each of the six chapters contains not only a definitive review of the research literature, but also a cogent discussion of how these results are finding their way into design tools, products, services and system applications. Readers will immediately recognize the value of signing up to receive the entire series." -- Dick Pew, Principal Scientist, BBN Technologies
