Dear Psychometrika Readers,

Hope you enjoyed the annual meeting of the Psychometric Society in Prague (assuming you attended it). I heard that a record number of people attended the meeting.

As some of you may know, starting 2 September, Psychometrika will be accepting submissions of papers through a new website: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/psychometrika. Thus, the journal is making a switch from the Editorial Manager to the ScholarOne platform. Also, from now on, Psychometrika will be an Open Access journal, published by Cambridge University Press.

The September 2024 issue of Psychometrika includes 13 “Theory and Methods” section articles that are on (i) a diagnostic facet status model (written by Chun Wang), (ii) a proof regarding test reliability (Jules Ellis and Klaas Sijtsma), (iii) a new method for assessing differential item functioning (Peter Halpin), (iv) a framework for motivating and diagnosing the functional form in the structural part of nonlinear or linear structural equation models (Steffen Grønneberg and Julien Patrick Irmer), (v) diagnostic classification models for testlets (Xin Xu, Guanhua Fang, Jinxin Guo, Zhiliang Ying and Susu Zhang), (vi) polytomous effectiveness indicators in complex problem-solving tasks (Pujue Wang and Hongyun Liu), (vii) parallel optimal calibration of mixed-format tests (Frank Miller and Ellinor Fackle-Fornius), (viii) a Gaussian variational estimation algorithm for the multidimensional generalized partial credit model (Chengyu Cui, Chun Wang, and Gongjun Xu), (ix) asymptotic identifiability of nonparametric item response models (Yinqiu He), (x) use of signal-to-noise ratio in estimating and testing mediation effect (Ke-Hai Yuan, Zhiyong Zhang, and Lijuan Wang), (xi) the crosswise model for surveys on sensitive topics (Marco Gregori, Martijn G. De Jong, and Rik Pieters), (xii) an index to quantify accuracy for models of dichotomous item responses based on the improvement across two sets of predictions (Benjamin Domingue, Klint Kanopka, Radhika Kapoor, Steffi Pohl, R Philip Chalmers, Charles Rahal, and Mijke Rhemtulla), and (xiii) adventitious error and its implications for testing relations between variables and for composite measurement outcomes (Paul De Boeck, Michael DeKay, and Jolynn Pek). The issue then includes an “Applications Review and Case Studies” (ARCS) section article on temporally dynamic, cohort-varying value-added models (Garritt Page, Ernesto San Martín, David Torres Irribarra, and Sébastien Van Bellegem). Next comes a review, written by Michael Edwards, of the recently published book “Subscores: A Practical Guide to Their Production and Consumption” written by Shelby Haberman et al. The issue ends with 10 errata related to recently published Psychometrika articles.

Hope you enjoy the issue.
