About this journal
Aims and scope
Measurement is devoted to the interdisciplinary study of measurement in the social sciences, as well as in engineering and other scientific disciplines. Each issue will contain peer-reviewed articles across interdisciplinary academic areas that provide advances in measurement applications.
The journal considers articles that critically engage with measurements used in accounting, biostatistics, data analytics, economics, engineering, finance, management, marketing, public and health policy, sociology, statistics, while covering educational psychology statistics research topics.
In addition, the focus of the journal will provide the readership with book reviews and software reviews when available. Measurement will include articles that highlight the development of new measurement applications, concepts and current practices in measurement.
The focus of submitted articles that address important issues in the field may include, but are not limited to, one of the following areas:
• Advances in measurement applications in the social sciences, medicine, business, kinesiology, etc.;
• Theoretical articles that give a new perspective on measurement research, and/or practice in measurement;
• Applied measurement articles in various interdisciplinary fields of study;
• Meta-analysis, meta-synthesis, summary, or systematic critique of a measurement topic;
• A book review that covers an in-depth review of a current measurement textbook;
• A comprehensive software review of a measurement software product, e.g., R package.
The numerous measurement topics can include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Bayesian Measurement/Modeling
• Classroom Assessment
• Cognitive Diagnostic Modeling
• Computer Adaptive Testing
• Diagnostic Classification Models
• Differential Item Functioning
• Econometrics and Finance
• Environmental and Spatial Statistics
• Generalizability Theory/Models
• Health and Public Policy
• Linking/Equating
• Mokken Analysis
• Quality Control
• Rating Scale Analysis/Models
• Reliability and Safety Engineering
• Structural Equation Modeling/Multi-level modeling
• Survey Sampling
• Survival Analysis
• Test security
• Text Analysis
• Time Series Analysis
• Validity and Reliability issues conducted in a research study
Note: The Journal does not publish reliability and validity studies of specific tests or assessment instruments. Such analysis must be part of a larger applied measurement research article.
There are software programs today that can be evaluated and presented in the journal. A few are:
• MIRT
• OpenBugs
• Winsteps
• Stan
• Parscale
• R packages
This journal provides content for social scientists with an interest in the study of measurement, its theory, and application; including psychometricians, psychologists, educational researchers, policy researchers, educational and psychological test developers, medical and public health professionals.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
Journal metrics in brief
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of the following metrics (find out why).
- Usage: the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the nearest thousand.
Citation Metrics
- Impact Factor*: the average number of citations received by articles published in the journal within a two-year window. Only journals in the Clarivate Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) have an Impact Factor.
- Impact Factor Best Quartile*: the journal’s highest subject category ranking in the Journal Citation Reports. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest Impact Factors.
- 5 Year Impact Factor*: the average number of citations received by articles in the journal within a five-year window.
- CiteScore (Scopus)†: the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over a four-year period.
- CiteScore Best Quartile†: the journal’s highest CiteScore ranking in a Scopus subject category. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest CiteScores.
- SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper): the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation potential in the field.
- SJR (Scimago Journal Rank): Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
- From submission to first decision: the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a first decision in the last six months.
- From submission to first post-review decision: the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the journal to receive a first decision if it is sent out for peer review. Based on manuscripts receiving a post-review first decision in the last six months.
- From acceptance to online publication: the average (median) number of days from acceptance of a manuscript to online publication of the Version of Record. Based on articles published in the last six months.
- Acceptance rate: articles accepted for publication by the journal in the previous calendar year as percentage of all papers receiving a final decision.
