CONTINUITY

The continuity of the journal is essential. Hundreds of academicians working in the field of ergonomics have participated in the National Ergonomics Congress which held every year since 1971. It is expected that the studies presented at the congress will be developed and submitted to Ergonomics as an article. Thus, the journal will ensure its continuity through Congress.
