Computational Aspects and Software in Psychometrics II

Dear Colleagues,

Statistical software in psychometrics has made tremendous progress in providing open-source solutions. The focus of this Special Issue is on computational aspects and statistical algorithms for psychometric methods. Software articles introducing new software packages or tutorials are particularly welcome. Simulation studies as well as implementation aspects of psychometric models would fit this Special Issue perfectly. We would also like to invite researchers to submit articles of software reviews that review one software package, several packages, or empirical comparisons of several packages. Potential psychometric models include (but are not limited to) item response models, structural equation models, multilevel models, latent class models, cognitive diagnostic models, or mixture models.

Dr. Alexander Robitzsch

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a double-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Psych is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
