Hi.

I'm trying to evaluate the reliability and vality of a ranking based questionnaire (specifically, participants rank their preference between four options with no option left unranked). Albeit I have experience analyzing rating-based questionnaires (e.g. Likert scale and such), these are a first for me.

I have found some literature (e.g. Yannakakis's work like 10.3389/fict.2015.00013), but further searching is not giving me much.

Any recommendations on what statistics to use, useful articles/books to read, rules to keep in mind, main differences compared to likert-scale questionnaires, tips, and such are greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much.
