This book aims to address the challenges of defining measurement in social sciences, presenting a conceptualization of the practice of measurement from the perspective of the pragmatic tradition in philosophy. The book reviews key questions regarding the scope and limits of measurement, emphasizing that if the trust that the public places on mea­sures in the social sciences relies on their connection to the notion of measurement in the physical sciences, then the clarification of the similarities and differences between measurement in the physical and the social realms is of central importance to adequately contextualize their relative advantages and limitations. It goes on to present some of the most influential theories of measurement such as the “classical view” of measurement, operationalism, and the representational theory of measurement, as well as more methodological perspectives arising from the practice of researchers in the social sciences, such as the latent variable perspective, and from the physical sciences and engineering, represented by metrology. This overview illustrates that the concept of measurement, and that of quantitative methods, is currently being used across the board in ways that do not necessarily conform to traditional, classical definitions of measurement, pushing the boundaries of what constitutes our technical understanding of it. Moreover, what constitutes a technical understanding of measurement, and the theoretical commitments that it entails, must vary in different areas. In this context, disagreement on what is constitutive of measurement is bound to appear. Pragmatism is presented as a theoretical perspective that offers the advantage of being flexible and fallibilist, encouraging us to abandon the pursuit of a timeless and perfect definition that attempts to establish decontextualized/definitive demarcation criteria for what is truly measurement. This book will be of particular interest for psychologists and other human and social scientists, and more concretely for scholars interested in measurement and assessment in psychological and social measurement. The pragmatic perspective of measurement presents a conceptual framework for researchers to ground their assessment practices acknowledging and dealing with the challenges of social measurement. .

This book is written to help readers with humanities backgrounds improve their academic research, tertiary-level teaching, professional service, and career trajectory. By utilizing 1,000+ Tips, readers can choose what skill they wish to improve by consulting a single page (for example, how to measure your impact factor). Or, with more time, readers can level up an entire area of their work by consulting one section (for example, how to promote your work). As 1,000+ Tips is designed to address the needs of readers at different points in their career, readers will be delighted to return to this concise and evergreen manual as their goals shift with their circumstances. The book learns graduate students and new faculty members to understand the basics of pedagogical practice, and to comprehend how to serve effectively on the committees that ran their departments, universities, and professional organizations. The work synthesizes empirical evidence, comprehensive literature reviews, and qualitative experience. Each chapter has a page-length overview of the subject. Each content chapter is divided into sections and each section populated by single page topics. The single page topic provides a summary and takeaways in bullet point format. Readers may be graduate students, early career faculty, independent scholars, postdoctoral fellows, lecturers, or in many other positions in or surrounding the university. .

This book deals with magnetic anomaly maps and their properties. These properties are essential to modeling the elimination of the uncertainty problem of buried archaeological structure locations and depths. To this end, several models are presented and their quantitative properties are studied. Numerical simulations have been created, confirming theoretical results that were obtained.
