Dear Editor in Chief
Reliability and validity are concepts used to evaluate the quality of psychometric properties of a scale in medical research. Reliability is related to reproducibility, and validity is related to the accuracy of a scale. It is important to check reliability and validity when using a scale or questionnaire. The present study provides a brief overview of the types of validity and reliability in medical research.
