Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice

EM:IP is a quarterly publication that is aimed at practitioners and users of tests, as well as professional educators, legislators, school personnel, and interested citizens.

EM:IP is edited by Heather Buzick and published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. See the Journal Overview and Author Guidelines for more information.

Its primary purpose is to promote a better understanding of educational measurement and to encourage reasoned debate on current issues of practical importance to educators and the public.
