He was the main architect for the recentered SAT scales introduced in the mid-1990s.[1] [2] He has also performed linking studies relating the SAT scores to the ACT scores.[3] He also focused on fairness assessment at the item and score levels and introduced the standardization approach to assess item-level fairness in 1983.[4]
Dorans received the Career Contributions Award from the National Council on Measurement in Education in 2010[5] in recognition of his theoretical and technical developments and his ideas that have significantly affected measurement practices. He received the 2017 Association of Test Publishers Career Achievement Award.[6] In 2021, he received the Robert L. Linn Distinguished Address Award.[7] He received the ETS Measurement Statistician Award in 2003.
Dorans has edited several books in educational measurement including "Computerized Adaptive Testing: A Primer",[8] "Fairness in Educational Assessment and Measurement",[9] and "Linking and Aligning Scores and Scales".[10] He has published numerous journal articles, technical reports, and book chapters on differential item functioning, score equating and score linking, context effects, and item response theory.
