Psychometrika is devoted to the advancement of quantitative theory and methodology in psychology, and in the behavioral and social sciences generally. Articles appear in either the Theory and Methods (T&M) section of the journal, or the Application Reviews and Case Studies (ARCS) section. T&M articles present original material on quantitative models, statistical methods, or mathematical techniques for data within psychology or the behavioral and social sciences. Application Reviews are either integrative, comparative, or critical reviews of methodologies in specific applications. Case Studies are illustrative analyses that deepen our understanding of particular substantive phenomena.

Psychometrika is published in cooperation with The Psychometric Society.
