Call for Volunteers: Citation of Standards
Many times over the years, HFES members have told the Executive Council, both directly and in surveys, that connecting the research in HFES publications with practice is a struggle. There are many ways this translation, a strategic goal, could be accomplished. One of them is require that HFES publications cite relevant standards, best practices, etc. This citation requirement only makes sense if relevant standards and best practices can be found. Therefore: Given the educational resources to be provided, can candidate authors of HFES publications (and reviewers of them) find standards/best practices, etc. relevant to an article they are writing (or could write or review)?
We are seeking volunteers from the Society to examine the educational resources that are available to help people find standards. We provide resources to get volunteers started including a report, “Getting Research Into Practice via Standards”. Other resources may be examined as well. Volunteers should select two articles from an HFES Publication (e.g., the Journal, the Proceedings and find the standards / best practices / etc. that are relevant to each of the two articles you examined. A sample reporting template is provided.)
Please consider this request to volunteer with HFES. We appreciate all of the help our members can provide.

She began her career in 1983 as a research anthropologist at the US Army Natick Research, Development and Engineering Center in Massachusetts. From 1986 - 1988, Claire directed the US Army Anthropometric Survey, measuring more than 9,000 solider for 132 body dimensions in an effort to improve the fit and safety of everything from military uniforms to body armor to helicopter cockpits and armored vehicles.
