The Editorial Council is responsible for establishing and overseeing the editorial policies, supervising the scientific and professional quality of the Society’s publications, and appointing and supervising editorial leadership.

The Editorial Council consists of six members elected directly by the Society’s membership, together with the Psychometrika Editor in Chief, ACS Section Editor, Reviews Editor, and the Chief Proceedings Editor, who participate in the Council’s work in their editorial capacities. The six elected members are the Council’s voting members and serve staggered six-year terms, with one term expiring each year.

Each year, the Editorial Council nominates two candidates for the vacant elected position. The Society’s membership then elects one of these candidates to serve a six-year term.

The Psychometrika editors (Editor in Chief, ACS Section Editor, and Reviews Editor), and the Chief Proceedings Editor participate in the Council’s work in their editorial capacities.
