Abstracts need to be submitted online by 1 October 2017.

These will then be assessed in a non-blind review process by members of the Rasch Measurement Conference Scientific Committee and you will be notified within two weeks if you have been successful.

Please submit two abstracts: a short abstract for publication in the program and a long abstract for assessment in the review process.

Short abstracts should have a maximum of 250 words and should not include figures, tables and references.

Long abstracts may include figures, tables and references. Long abstracts should have between 1000 and 1200 words (excluding references).
