Aviation Psychology and Applied Human Factors
[edit]The Aviation Psychology and Applied Human Factors (APAHF) journal is an academic publication specializing in aviation psychology and applied human factors within the aerospace domain. It was established in 2011 and has published two issues per year since its inception. It is co-edited by the European Association for Aviation Psychology (EAAP) and the Australian Aviation Psychology Association (AAvPA), and published by Hogrefe.
The journal Aviation Psychology and Applied Human Factors focuses on publishing research works on the interaction between individuals and systems in the context of aviation. It includes both theoretical work and applied studies, with a strong emphasis on safety, human performance, mental health or user-centered system design. As illustrated by the journal name, Aviation psychology and Human factors are closely intertwined disciplines that aim to enhance safety, performance, and mental health in aviation environments. Aviation psychology focuses on understanding human behavior and cognitive processes in flight operations, as well as improving selection processes for recruiting pilots and operators. Human factors complements this by addressing the design of systems, procedures, and technologies to support human performance and reduce the likelihood of errors. For example, Endsley’s (1995)[1] seminal work on situation awareness emphasized the importance of pilots maintaining a dynamic understanding of their environment to make informed decisions in rapidly evolving contexts. Likewise, Reason’s (1990)[2] Swiss Cheese Model of human error provided a theoretical framework for analyzing latent failures in complex systems such as aviation. Crew Resource Management (CRM) training, as discussed by Helmreich et al. (1999)[3], is a practical application of both disciplines, promoting effective communication, leadership, and teamwork among flight crews. Together, these fields contribute to modern aviation safety strategies and promote the design of resilient human-machine systems.
The APAHF journal is dedicated to both researchers and practitioners, ans is listed among the recommended journals at renowned universities such as George Mason University or Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Several studies published in Aviation Psychology and Applied Human Factors have been highlighted by the specialized press, such as PsyPost, which reported studies exploring pilots’ minimization of stress-related risks[4], the impact of PTSD on fatal accidents[5], the link between flight hours and internal locus of control[6], or the supervisory role of airline captains[7].
Editorial Content
[edit]APAHF publishes two issues per year, including:
Original research articles: Peer-reviewed empirical studies.
- Research notes: Shorter studies.
- Practitioner articles: Case analyses, feedback from experience, and best practices.
- Critical reviews and meta-analyses: On current scientific topics.
- "APAHF in Practice" section: Less technical but still peer-reviewed articles, covering topics such as commentaries on incidents and accidents, innovative applications of aviation psychology, and reviews of best practices in the industry.
Editorial team
[edit]Editorial team is made of researchers and experts in the aviation psychology and human factor field:
- Editor-in-Chief: Julia Behrend (France).
- Editor: Matthew Thomas (Australia).
- Associate Editors: Mickaël Causse (France), Robert Bor (UK), Ioana Koglbauer (Austria), Harald Kolrep (Germany), Monica Martinussen (Norway), Michaela Schwarz (Austria).
Awards
[edit]Each year, the journal presents a Best Paper Award to recognize scientific excellence. For example, in 2023, the article titled "Does Deliberately Going Beyond Alarms in Stall Recovery Exercises Lead to Negative Training"[8] received this distinction.
Indexing
[edit]APAHF is indexed in several recognized databases, including Scopus, PsycINFO, and PSYNDEX, which attests to its visibility and recognition within the scientific community.
Bibliometrics
[edit]In 2024, the journal has an SJR (SCImago Journal Rank Indicator) of 0.189 (Quartile 4 in applied psychology), ranking it 227 out of 267 journals in the category "Applied Psychology". The impact remains modest for now.
Notable articles
