Special Issue on Research on Reliability and Validity

Reliability and Validity indicate the ability of a system or method to perform its required functions under stated conditions for a specified period of time. Generally, reliability is necessary conditions of validity but not sufficient condition, and the composition formula “O=T S R” can be used to measure the relationship between validity and reliability. The main impetus for the development of reliability and validity as a discipline was progress in academic achievement, the actual performance, special training results, psychiatric diagnosis, and ranking estimation. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of research on the research on reliability and validity.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring research on reliability and validity. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Influence factors of reliability and validity
• Estimation methods of reliability and validity
• Function of reliability and validity
• Reliability and validity analysis
• The dimension of reliability and validity
• Applications of reliability and validity

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Research on Reliability and Validity” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
