Seminal Readings on Reliability and Validity: A "Hit Parade" Bibliography

Abstract

EPM editorial board members generated a list of those publications that they perceived as seminal to shaping the measurement field. Board members nominated up to five works and were asked to limit citations to publications since roughly 1950. Many of the citations dealt directly with reliability or validity, but topics more broadly related to measurement were also cited, including works dealing with validity generalization, item response theories, statistical significance testing, factor analysis, and the general linear model.
