Subject: Call for Contributions: PsychLing-101 (Open Repository of Psycholinguistic Datasets)


We are a group of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Human
Development, Humboldt University of Berlin, and the University of
Milano-Bicocca, collaborating on a research initiative to build shared
infrastructure for psycholinguistic research.
We would like to invite contributions to PsychLing-101, a
community-driven repository that collects psycholinguistic datasets in
a unified format for both traditional analyses and evaluation of large
language models.
Project overview
PsychLing-101 aims to build a curated corpus of psycholinguistic
datasets stored in a standardized structure. The goal is to make
datasets easier to find, reuse, and compare across studies, and to
support more reproducible research in psycholinguistics and cognitive
science.
To build a broad and useful resource, we welcome contributions from
researchers across the field. We invite datasets of many types, from
norming studies and behavioral experiments to eye-tracking and
neuroimaging data, including both large-scale collections and smaller
curated studies.
Repository and documentation:
https://github.com/Data-X01/PsychLing-101
Ways to contribute
Researchers can contribute in several ways:
- Submit a dataset following the instructions in the repository
README:
https://github.com/Data-X01/PsychLing-101/blob/main/README.md
- Curate an existing study from the list in the CONTRIBUTING file:
https://github.com/Data-X01/PsychLing-101/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
- Suggest a dataset or study by opening an issue in the repository
Outcome for contributors
All dataset contributors will be included as co-authors on an overview
paper describing the repository and the standardized corpus.
Questions
For questions or assistance, please open a GitHub issue or contact:

If you think this initiative may be of interest to colleagues or
students, we would greatly appreciate you sharing it within your
networks.
