Abstract

I apologize, but I must begin making my case for subjective measurement by recounting to you my own experiences with it over the past few years.Almost a decade ago, when the field of applied behavior analysis was beginning to expand so rapidly, we were faced with the task of putting together the Journal of Applied Be- havior Analysis.For a period of several months Garth Hopkins, who was our managing editor, presented us with a series of unexpected deci- sions to make; like: What color should the paper be?And did we need a paper that would hold together for two thousand years or were we willing to live with a shelf-life of only a thousand years?And so on.Just a couple of days before we were sched- uled to go to press with our very first issue, Garth called with one more question."What is the purpose of the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis?", he asked.He said we needed to put a description of the purpose on the inside front cover, as one finds in other journals.He needed an answer almost immediately.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
