Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, Volume 1(1), 2003

Abstract

Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives is a relatively new journal devoted to the interdisciplinary study of measurement in the human sciences and is intended to represent a broad range of disciplines and perspectives including psychometrics, ethnography, social theory, psychology, economics, education, linguistics, sociology, policy studies, history, and law. Each issue is devoted to a single, provocative focus article followed by commentaries and arejoinder article. Further information can be found at http://bearcenter.berkeley.edu/measurement/. Presently eight issues are available covering objectivity and trust, standards-based testing, and certification testing, for example. The inaugural issue—Volume 1(1), 2003—was sent to us by the editors (Mark Wilson at the University of California, Berkeley; Paul De Boeck at K. U. Leuven, Belgium; and Pamela Moss at the University of Michigan) to encourage becoming involved in for example, debating a “focus paper” or participating in a commentary.
