Original and previously unpublished papers are solicited for a special
issue of "Social Indicators Research" planned for 1998 on validity of
measures used in social indicators. We invite submissions of original
empirical articles, review papers, and/or theoretical and critical
analyses.  On the theoretical front, we are particularly interested,
although not exclusively, in current conceptions of validity as embodied
in, for example, the recent works of Sam Messick (ETS) and others.

Both Sociological and Psychology measures are used in social indicators
research.  For a sense of the types of measures used please see recent
issues of the journal.

Please submit 4 copies to the Guest Editor by April 15, 1997. To avoid
a backlog in the review process, we encourage early submission. Please
see the World Wide Web page
            http://quarles.unbc.edu/psyc/edgeworth.html
for more details on instructions to authors or consult a recent issue of
the journal.

"Social Indicators Research" is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal
that has been in existence for over 20 years.  All submitted papers will be
evaluated through the journal's standard peer review process.
