EDITORIAL POLICIES AND SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
All manuscripts must be uploaded through the Elsevier Editorial System after logging in as an author (new authors are required to register first).

MANUSCRIPT REVIEW PROCESS

GOOD PUBLISHING PRACTICES
International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics allows the authors the option ‘Your Paper Your Way,’ introduced by Elsevier some years ago. The option moves the burden of preparing the paper exactly according to the format prescribed by the journal to the revision stage: fresh submissions are accepted as single files (in Word or in PDF) and need not follow a set style, although they need to be consistent.
The journal also offers ‘AudioSlides,’ which are brief podcasts, prepared and recorded by the author/s, that are shown next to published articles on ScienceDirect and can be viewed for free. This format offers researchers a channel to explain their work in a more conversational style than is possible when writing a formal research paper and to promote that work by sharing it through social media. More information and examples are available here: www.elsevier.com/audioslides.
