This study investigated the factors related to the following three outcomes among authors who have This study investigated the factors related to the following three outcomes among authors who have submitted their articles to the Japanese Journal of Ergonomics: (1) Satisfaction; (2) Willingness; and (3) submitted their articles to the Japanese Journal of Ergonomics: (1) Satisfaction; (2) Willingness; and (3) Recommendation. An online survey was conducted among 124 corresponding authors who had submitted Recommendation. An online survey was conducted among 124 corresponding authors who had submitted articles to the journal in the past five years (66 respondents, response rate: 53.2％) . A 9-point Likert articles to the journal in the past five years (66 respondents, response rate: 53.2％) . A 9-point Likert scale was used for each outcome, which was re-categorized into three levels (low, medium, and high) scale was used for each outcome, which was re-categorized into three levels (low, medium, and high) and cross-tabulated with each factor. Fisher's exact test, Cramer's V for effect size, and multiple and cross-tabulated with each factor. Fisher's exact test, Cramer's V for effect size, and multiple correspondence analysis were used to evaluate the association. The results showed that the factors correspondence analysis were used to evaluate the association. The results showed that the factors common to the three outcomes were: the quality of the editor's comments ( common to the three outcomes were: the quality of the editor's comments ( ps ps＜0.01, V＝0.38-0.53, ＜0.01, V＝0.38-0.53, df df＝4) , ＝4) , the quality of the reviewer's comments ( the quality of the reviewer's comments ( ps ps ≤ ≤ 0.01, V＝0.31-0.40, 0.01, V＝0.31-0.40, df df＝4) , and the decision of acceptance/ ＝4) , and the decision of acceptance/ rejection ( rejection ( ps ps ≤ ≤ 0.01, V＝0.35-0.46, 0.01, V＝0.35-0.46, df df ＝4) . This study, thus, revealed the main factors involved in the ＝4) . This study, thus, revealed the main factors involved in the levels of satisfaction, willingness, and recommendation when submitting articles for publication in the levels of satisfaction, willingness, and recommendation when submitting articles for publication in the Japanese Journal of Ergonomics.
