I have been following and used #JASP on and off over the years and I liked it a lot.

This tutorial makes it really interesting!

First up: item quality.
A paper by @gudruneisele.bsky.social introduces ESM-Q: a consensus checklist for good momentary items.

Taken from the Taxonomy paper:

"As time and methods advance, the bedrock of applied valuation research naturally becomes increasingly unreliable, and, as a field, we need to consider how to approach this challenge."

I really enjoy reading the expanding literature on #invariance of #ValueSets. Two interesting papers and a taxonomy regarding #obsolescence

Interesting application #ItemBank #Psychometrics #IRT

For a multi-domain CAT-assessment system, I wonder why not to chose a multidimensional approach (difficult, but not impossible: link.springer.com/article/10.1...).

But for connecting independently developed tests, this seems promising.

Jan R. Boehnke @jrboehnke.bsky.social · 5d

Yes, that tech is available and can be used:

Even as a #NightshiftEditor I had an automated reference checker at my disposal:
every reference in a paper was pre-screened. Those that were found were highlighted as such. The others, usually a small proportion, I could check by hand.

Not saying I/we didn't miss any. But the technology is there.

Jan R. Boehnke @jrboehnke.bsky.social · 6d

Those can be checked by hand? They were usually the minority of references in submitted papers, and often known to me (central book chapters, test manuals etc).

Towards an Open, Democratic and Socially Relevant Science in Latin America and the Caribbean
sfdora.org/2025/12/19/b...

3 strategic pillars 👇

One of 11 principles:
Critical #pedagogy: Foster training and collective reflection on #OpenScience and responsible assessment as transformative practices

Pillars of the Transformative Proposal
Open science as a public and common good: It calls for a comprehensive openness of the scientific process — from data production to research assessment — that eliminates economic, technological, and linguistic barriers, promotes collaboration among diverse actors, and recognises the plurality of knowledge(s).
A new model of socially relevant research assessment: It advocates replacing commercial metrics and rankings with responsible, participatory, and context-aware assessment systems that value the diversity of trajectories and the social, environmental, and cultural impact of knowledge.
Epistemic and technological sovereignty: It defends public and regional control over the infrastructures, platforms, and technologies that make science possible, ensuring multilingualism, openness, and ethical use of digital technologies.

As part of our provision for postgraduate students I give about annually a talk/workshop thing around my favourite misquotes of my own work.

I think there is scope for some interpretational differences. But as you say, there are also those that are clearly outside this area.

Dan de Kadt @dandekadt.bsky.social · 25d

A propos of some stuff, a brief thread on randomized experiments. 👇

We like randomization as it provides us with a powerful way to solve a big problem: identification.

Identification should not - cannot - precede other parts of the research process: theory, conceptualization, operationalization.
