Comparisons were made of citations of research publications in six literature reviews of engineering psychology: Fitts (1958); Melton and Briggs (1960); Chapanis (1963); Poulton (1966) and Alluisi and Morgan (1976). The frequencies of literature citation were compared to those presented by O'Hare (1985) who analyzed the literature citations by Wickens and Kramer (1985). The types of literature and content reflect changes in the fields of engineering psychology and human factors from 1958 to the present day.
