The field of human factors and its associated research has experienced a large amount of growth over the years. In this paper, we present the results of a text frequency analysis of the Proceedings of the International Annual Meeting of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, Vol. 65 Issue 1, September 2021. Popular words in proceedings titles include “Performance” (n = 28), “Task” (n = 24), “Learning” (n = 21), “Robot” (n = 21) , and “User” (n = 21). These are preliminary results of a larger endeavor to uncover the publishing trends within the field of human factors over the last decade. However, the results of this analysis will provide a useful lens through which we can better understand trends within the field of human factors and ergonomics over the past year.
