IRIS - the new database of instruments and materials used to collect 
data in second language research - is now available at http://www.iris-
database.org

Researchers can upload and download materials used in published L2 
research and in approved PhD theses, from all theoretical and 
methodological perspectives. 

The database is searchable by author, research area, instrument type, 
L1, L2, target feature, amongst many other parameters.

A few examples of data collection materials are: interview protocols, 
language tests, observation schedules, pictures, questionnaires, 
software scripts, sound files, teaching intervention tasks, word lists, but 
there are many other possibilities.

IRIS aims to enhance the visibility and transparency of primary 
research tools, facilitating replication and research agendas across 
different contexts. 

Materials submitted are licensed under Creative Commons Licensing. 
The IRIS team can digitize paper and analogue materials, and help you 
to pursue any permission requests. Please email iris at iris-database.org 
with these requests or any questions.

The upload process takes 10 - 20 minutes, with even quicker and 
easier upload of instruments once the first has been submitted.

Please visit http://www.iris-database.org for FAQs, or contact iris at iris-
database.org

IRIS is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and the 
British Academy. It is directed by 
Emma Marsden (http://www.york.ac.uk/education/our-
staff/academic/emma-marsden/) 
and Alison Mackey (http://explore.georgetown.edu/people/mackeya/?
