Abstract
A large number of papers and technical reports are published every year describing researches where Rasch models are used. It has been observed, however, that not all the authors describe the application of the Rasch measurement with the same thoroughness. Some authors may leave behind important bits of information e.g. they may fail to investigate the person or item fit or may even fail to discuss the reliability of measurement. As a result, editorial guidelines have been published in order to suggest an informal 'minimum' of thoroughness with which the authors may describe the application of Rasch measurement in their papers. This study presents stages for the development of a scale to investigate the comprehensiveness with which individual papers describe the application of Rasch models in practical settings. The scale is used to evaluate how comprehensively the papers published by the Journal of Applied Measurement present the application of Rasch models.
