About the Journal
Focus and Scope
The International Journal of Human and Technology Interaction (IJHaTI) is committed to publish papers that are most influential in the areas of human and technology interaction, and are engaging to both practicing managers and academics. The research that the journal intends to publish should therefore be interdisciplinary and include aspects from a wide variety of disciplines. These disciplines range from more technical such as engineering; exclusively to rehabilitation engineering and assistive technology, to non-technical descriptions of technology and human interaction from the point of view of sociology or philosophy.
Topics Covered / Tracks / Themes
All issues related to the interaction of humans and technology, either individually or socially; including but are not limited to:
- Interaction and conversion between technologies and their impact on society
- Human-machine interaction and cooperative systems
- Mechanical devices used in therapeutic or supportive processes
- Electrical and electronic devices; and sensors used in therapeutic or supportive processes
- Information technologies in healthcare
- Medical signal and image processing
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence
- Technology in Rehabilitation Robotics
- Engineering aspect of human development
- Technology in Language and Technical Communication
- Religion, Humanities and Technology
- Technology in Community Development and Industry Relations
- Technology in Education (and Learning disabilities)
- Technology in Human Resource Development
- Technology Management and Innovation Management for Human
- Technology in Business and Entrepreneurship
Peer Review Process
The articles should be original, unpublished, and not in consideration for publication elsewhere at the time of submission to International Journal of Human and Technology Interaction (IJHaTI) and during the review process.
The IJHaTI is a refereed journal and has a single-blind review. Any manuscript submitted for consideration in publication in the IJHaTI is reviewed by at least two reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area, are appointed by the editors. All peer assessment reports are sent electronically and anonymously to the participants via journal database. Names of reviewers are kept by the journal to preserve the integrity of the single-blind peer review process.
Editors appoint two experts in their fields to evaluate all the papers submitted for publication. If there is a conflict between the reviews of the reviewers, a third reviewer is appointed. After the author submits the final and corrected version of the article, it is reevaluated by the reviewers and the editor to decide whether to publish it.
The peer review process can be denoted in the flowchart as below :

Journal History
The growing of research in the area of human and technology are indisputable. Human and technology are often seen as interacting to each other in number of ways. Technologies are used to enhance human activities in solving problems and needs. The success or failure of technologies, the question whether technology helps humans to fulfill their goals or whether it hinders them is in most cases not a technical one. Even though this problem has been recognized in many academic disciplines that deal with technology, we are still far from being able to present a set of theories that would allow us to understand the interaction of human and technology to put it into practical use.
The journal invites contributions from both scholars and practitioners involved in research, management, and the utilization of human and technology interaction, comprising but not limited to work in areas of age-related rehabilitation, incontinence technology, blast injury rehabilitation, neurorehabilitation, functional rehabilitation, technologies promoting independent living and any area where the application of engineering technology and technology management can be applied.
