Writing teachers and scholars have been making their need for more resources well known. Many of us feel the need for increased and improved ways to aggregate data; share project questions and designs; and exchange general information and insights.

Our answer is the Research Exchange, an online resource for writing studies.

At the heart of the Exchange is a database where researchers can record and share their work by filling out a short, revisable, and updatable form.

No project is too new or too small to be included, and we encourage everyone from students to writing program administrators to report on both published and unpublished work.

A cumulative, community-driven resource, the Research Exchange depends on you and your participation for its success. With that in mind, please take a few moments to visit the site , create an account if you don't already have one , and share your research.

The Research Exchange is not affiliated with an institution or organization. However, the WAC Clearinghouse and CompPile have supported this project from its beginnings, with special thanks to the Clearinghouse for the server space and for adding the Research Exchange to the WAC Clearinghouse front page .

We also welcome your feedback: The Exchange is a work in progress, and we're eager to know how it can be improved.
