To this end the journal accepts articles in the following categories: research papers, review articles, conceptual theories, methodological articles involving technology for recording and/or analysing humans at work, observational reports from the field, brief research reports/updates, and news and views.</p><p>The editors aim to ensure that professional rigour characterises all published material while recognising that the needs of Southern Africa in this field and of Ergonomics anywhere, are for the generation and dissemination of technical, non-technical, fundamental and applied knowledge. To this end the journal welcomes review papers and encourages contributions to its News and Views section.</p><p>This is the only Ergonomics focussed journal in South Africa and on the African continent.

This growth presents a chance to position our profession and ourselves. How will we communicate the unique benefits we offer to corporate clients and all those affected by the Ergonomics Regulations? These and other questions centre on how we market and sell our profession to create positive change. Marketing ergonomics is rarely discussed in the ergonomics literature, and little guidance is given on how it can be done. This paper reviews<br>discussions of the topic presented in 1990 and uses these to start a modern discussion about marketing and selling ergonomics in South Africa. The paper also points to books, papers, and approaches that students and practitioners could find useful when researching the topic.</p>2024-10-04T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024
