SPRINGER SERIES IN MEASUREMENT SCIENCE AND TECH...

This open access book proposes a conceptual framework for understanding measurement across a
broad range of scientific fields and areas of application  such as physics  engineering 
education  and psychology. It addresses contemporary issues and controversies within
measurement in light of the framework  including operationalism  definitional uncertainty  and
the relations between measurement and computation  and describes how the framework  operating
as a shared concept system  supports understanding measurement's work in different domains 
using examples in the physical and human sciences. This revised and expanded second edition
features a new analysis of the analogies and the differences between the error
uncertainty-related approach adopted in physical measurement and the validity-related approach
adopted in psychosocial measurement. In addition  it provides a better analysis and
presentation of measurement scales  in particular about their relations with quantity units 
and introduces the measurand identification definition as a part of the Hexagon Framework along
with new examples from the physical and psychosocial sciences. Researchers and academics across
a wide range of disciplines including biological  physical  social  and behavioral scientists 
as well as specialists in measurement and philosophy appreciate the work's fresh and
provocative approach to the field at a time when sound measurements of complex scientific
systems are increasingly essential to solving critical global problems.
