This special issue of the journal is exclusively on the topic of Human Factors, a field well-represented in Australia, as the guest editorial explains, This is the first special issue since the one in 1999 - on Music Psychology - edited by Kate Stevens and Jeff Pressing. I would like to thank Ann Williamson and Mike Humphreys, the editors of this issue, for the excellent work they have done in assembling an impressive collection of papers and related conference abstracts. The journal expects to publish a further special issue next year, on the related topic of Industrial/Organisational Psychology. I believe it is valuable to use the AJP to showcase areas of the discipline in which research is particularly notable, and especially where Australian contributions are worth highlighting. |
