The Research Exchange is meant to be a space where we gather and share research in any area of writing studies as a way to provide data, resources, examples, and ideas for our professional community.

On this site, you'll find a wide variety of materials, including plans for studies; descriptions of current studies in progress; reports of previously completed studies; data of various kinds that others might use as part of a study (student writing, portfolios, etc.); and local- or program-specific materials that were produced for other purposes, such as assessment.  

We welcome researchers from all educational levels and all kinds of institutions to share research that shapes writing instruction, program administration, or faculty development. No study is too small, and studies that duplicate others are welcome, as are studies in progress.

If this is your first visit to the Research Exchange, create an account with the WAC Clearinghouse (free) and log in to the Clearinghouse, and look around. You'll find information about the Exchange under the "Get Started" heading in the column to the right, You'll also find plenty of opportunities for sharing your work along with your ideas, questions, and opinions on writing studies and writing research.
