Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
T he construction industry is one of the industries with worst safety records. With the increasing application of ergonomics, health, safety, and environment (HSE) management of construction workers has been improved. However, a thorough evaluation of ergonomics application in HSE management research for construction workers remains unavailable. This study aims to fill this gap by evaluating relevant peer-reviewed journal papers published from 2000 to 2021 to ascertain the status of this research area and identify future directions. After a literature search in Scopus and Web of Science and careful manual screening, a total of 252 articles were identified. The papers were analyzed in terms of contributing journals, prominent scholars, and critical articles as well as keyword co-occurrence, burst detection, and term clustering. A conceptual framework linking five research themes (ergonomic interventions, ergonomic training, ergonomic risk factors identification and evaluation, ergonomic posture recognition, and physiological monitoring) into corresponding future research directions was proposed based on a qualitative evaluation. The findings of this study provide useful references for future application of ergonomics in the enhanced HSE management of construction workers.
