I've said this before, but the single greatest force holding back psychometric research is data availability. Researching innovative assessments requires response data, but those data are owned by those who own the assessments. This gives them carte blanche to gatekeep who can do this work. 1/2

Research with restricted-use data is more precise, powerful, and relevant. Faculty and staff will be working through the weekend to answer important research questions before we no longer can. This is not normal, necessary, or efficient.

The loss of the NAEP restricted-use process data is crushing. It was the most reasonable to acquire dataset that is useful for actual measurement work (as opposed to nonsense mining). The data hoarding practice of private ed and testing companies harms research and students. They must fill the gap.

Today I talked about one of my favorite projects I've never published from. I did an internship at a Large Testing Company and before it ended, they sold the test I was working on to another company. No worries, great guy at LTC was helping negotiate data release for me. Then LTC laid that guy off.
