Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice facilitates discussions on Mathematics education, Test (assessment), Educational assessment, Pedagogy and Social psychology. While Mathematics education is the focus of Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, it also provided insights into the studies of Criterion-referenced test, Accountability, Achievement test and Test use. Norm-referenced test is a focus of the presented Achievement test works and it dives deep in Norm-referenced test.
The Test use works featured in Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice incorporate elements from Educational testing and Standardized test. Item response theory is the primary subject of Test (assessment) works presented in Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice. Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice explores topics in Educational assessment which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Performance based assessment, Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing and Educational measurement.
The in-depth study on Pedagogy also explores topics in the intersecting field of Medical education. The studies in Social psychology featured incorporate elements of Test validity, Cognitive psychology, Applied psychology and Psychometrics.
The most cited papers aim to foster the development of research in Mathematics education, Educational assessment, Test (assessment), Pedagogy and Social psychology. Grading (education) and Test use are some topics wherein Mathematics education research discussed in the journal publications has an impact. While Educational assessment is the focus of the journal publications, it also provides insights into the studies of Applied psychology, Accountability, Educational measurement and Formative assessment.
The foci of Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice are Social responsibility, Medical education, Statistics, Artificial intelligence and Item response theory. The journal explores research in Social psychology and overlapping concepts in Corporate social responsibility to expand the discourse in Social responsibility. Topics in Medical education were tackled in line with various other fields like Special education, Educational measurement, State (computer science) and Standardized test.
Multiple choice, Measurement invariance and Statistic studies in the realm of Statistics interact with fields like Interpretation (model theory). The journal addresses concerns in Item response theory which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Bayes estimator, Computer graphics (images), Graphics and Data mining. The journal focuses on Machine learning but sometimes tackles the closely related topic of Continuous testing which is concerned with Test validity.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 10.53% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 35.29% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 17.65% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 15.69% of all publications and 31.37% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
Advancements in educational measurement and practice have paved the way for professions that specialize in this field. These professions commonly include substance abuse counselors, social workers, special education teachers, etc., whose primary mission is the assessment and improvement of educational processes and outcomes. One such noteworthy profession is that of a substance abuse counselor.
A substance abuse counselor primarily focuses on providing psychological help and support to individuals suffering from addiction to drugs or other substances. Their role involves conducting assessments, formulating recovery plans, and providing emotional support to patients.
