The ESM Item Repository

Thanks to our colleagues over at m-Path for featuring the ESM-Q on their blog. We developed the ESM-Q as a quality assessment tool and guideline for ESM items, led by @gudruneisele.bsky.social & @esmrepository.bsky.social, with a team of international delphi panelists. tinyurl.com/343w8dcf

New blog post 📣 by @ccp-kuleuven.bsky.social's @millapihlajamaki.bsky.social on six things you can do with your ESM items apart from your main, substantive analyses. Check it out here: esmitemrepositoryinfo.com/blog-posts#M... #ESM #OpenScience #Measurement

The ESM Item Repository needs your help! We're applying for funding 💰and we need people to tell us how they have used the Repository in their work. If you are willing to be contacted ✉️ by the Repository team to tell us more about this, please reply to this post and please share! #OpenScience

To find out more about how to submit your items and take a look at the ESM Item Repository submission template, see our contributor's pack here: osf.io/6b2as/files/... #SAA2025 4/4

Also, if you have all the materials for submitting your items, but do not have the time or personnel to prepare the submission, speak to our team and we can discuss options for helping you with the submission process. #SAA2025 3/4

Maybe you are not sure how to go about submitting your items to the Repository, or it's been on your to-do list for a while, but you haven't got around to it or hit a road-block. Come and speak to our team at the contributors' cafe and we will help you! #SAA2025 2/4

As well as doing a great job as part of the ESM Item Repository's Coding Team, @ccp-kuleuven.bsky.social's @millapihlajamaki.bsky.social has been busy investigating careless responding in ESM data. Check out her first preprint here! 👇 #ExperienceSampling #Measurement #OpenScience

Good start to the week - The ESM-Q paper has now been accepted at Behavior Research Methods. A big thank you to @gudruneisele.bsky.social & Anu Hiekkaranta for leading this work as part of the @esmrepository.bsky.social team, as well as the 42 panelists! #OpenScience #measurement #ExperienceSampling

📣 New blog post 📣 - Head of the ESM Item Repository's Coding Team, Yoram Kunkels, shares his thoughts on working in an "academic start-up": esmitemrepositoryinfo.com/blog-posts#Y... #OpenScience #ExperienceSamplingMethod #DataScience

Good news! Thanks to our wonderful coding team, the technical issues with the Repository portal have been solved and we're up and running again! 🥳 #OpenScience

Unfortunately, we are having some technical issues with the Repository search portal at the moment ☹️ 🚧. Rest assured, our coding team is working on resolving the problem, and the Repository will be back soon! 🧰🪛 #OpenScience

As part of the work we do with the Repository, @gudruneisele.bsky.social led a Delphi study to develop a quality assessment tool for #ExperienceSamplingMethod items, called the ESM-Q. You can read the preprint & access the tool here: osf.io/preprints/ps.... #OpenScience #Measurement #Psychology

ESM Item Repository: Contributors' pack This pack contains all the information and forms needed to contribute items to the ESM Item Repository. Hosted on the Open Science Framework

We would love to add your items to the ESM Item Repository, to help other researchers discover your work, and work together towards better ESM measures. To contribute your items, download our contributor's pack (osf.io/6b2as/), fill out the item submission template📝, & send it over 📧! #OpenScience

The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) Item Repository This project has built a repository of items (www.esmitemrepository.com) used in experience sampling method (ESM), ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and ambulatory assessment (AA) studies. The id...

We have a lot more information about items than we can display on the Shiny portal, so if you would like to know more about the items, visit our OSF page to download the full Repository dataset: osf.io/kg376/

Screenshot of the ESM Item Repository search portal, with an example search for "mood" items.

You can browse the Repository by using our Shiny search portal (designed by Yoram Kunkels): www.esmitemrepository.com.

We now have 3300+ items in the Repository, which are openly available for use in research, and there's more on the way! We populate the Repository with items contributed by researchers & those we find in the "wild" by harvesting items from the published literature...

By way of an intro, we are an international #OpenScience initiative that started in 2018 and our goal is to increase transparency and quality of measures using in all flavours of daily life research (experience sampling method, ecological momentary assessment, ambulatory assessment, daily diary)...

It's a new start for the ESM Item Repository team over here on Blue Sky! We're excited to be here and to connect with fellow #psychology measurement and #OpenScience enthusiasts!
