The Society was founded in 1957, and it began publishing its journal Human Factors the following year. Here the current and immediately past editors select articles on application, methodology, and theory in the discipline that has since come to be called ergonomics. Their selection was based on the number of votes an article got in a survey, the number of citations listed on the Web of Science, and whether or not it was named article of the year when it was published. The top article is "Toward a Theory of Situational Awareness in Dynamic Systems," from 1995; the second is from 1963, "A Model for Visual Memory Tasks."
