Hello,
Would the Regional Writing Centre at the University of Limerick be open to sharing information about a paid study on writing styles?
My research team is seeking native and non-native (advanced) speakers of English (and/or Russian) to participate in an ongoing paid study on the diversity of writing styles around the globe. This study is approved by the internal review board (IRB) of the University
of Maryland, College Park, and the IRB number of the study is 2091700-5. Our team hopes that the documents we collect will help provide some insight into how individual writing styles differ by region and document type.
Participants in this study will be asked to author original writing samples for several different genres. Participation is entirely online, and compensation will be provided upon proper completion of study participation tasks. More information is available
at go.umd.edu/writingstudy-e for English (and go.umd.edu/writingstudy-ru for Russian).
We would greatly appreciate it if you could share our study information with faculty, staff, and students, in addition to anyone aged 18 or older, inside or outside of the academic community, who you think might be interested in taking part. I have attached
a printable flyer and a digital advertisement for each language.
Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
Julie Yelle, MA
