Another remarkable development of the past few years concerns applications of AI in psychometrics. Aleksandar Tomašević has been on the forefront of this development and will feature as an invited speaker. atomasevic.com

I am so proud of the Psychometric Society having the courage to transition Psychometrika to Open Access. Practically all APCs are covered by TAs (see bit.ly/3NiAy6T) and for authors not covered will be waived! Support open science for everybody, send your best work to Psychometrika at bit.ly/4eXTvYp
