An MTA(Military Testing Association) Publishing Challenge: A Textbook Concept and Prospects

Abstract

Each year the customary proceedings are published for distribution following the annual Military Testing Association (MTA) Conference. Only a modest amount of editing and transition discussion among subject-matter sections and papers are practical since the proceedings conform to a topical program plan and size. With a growing diversity of material found within topical areas and across the proceedings, there is an immediate challenge to edit selected material to show a wider scientific application with an integrated structure for key subject-matter sections. A textbook plan, as a response to this challenge, is in progress to work toward a definitive volume dealing with military personnel assessment research (1958-1983), paralleling reporting activities through 25 years of MTA programs. The growing scope and quality of MTA participation indicate there is a continuing need to report the proceedings as efficiently and professionally as possible. (Author)
