Ergonomics Abstracts is a unique online resource and reference
tool developed as a result of the continuing collaboration between
the Ergonomics Information Analysis Centre at the Taylor &
Francis Ergonomics Resource Facility at The University of
Birmingham, and Taylor & Francis. It is edited by Chris Baber,
supported by the Ergonomics Information Analysis Centre editorial
team.
Ergonomics Abstracts is a focused, comprehensive, and
international abstracting service, spanning the world of
ergonomics and human factors. Due to the changing frames of
reference in modern scientific research and application,
