We are pleased to announce that the British Academy will continue to fund IRIS until 2030! Thank you, all our authors and users, for your contributions and support for open research practices in applied linguistics!

Fantastic news for #OpenScholarship! Huge thanks to @LukePlonsky and #SSLA for recognizing and endorsing the value of diverse methodological perspectives in advancing OS! We're really excited to explore open scholarship through the underexplored lens of qualitative research!

Our paper, "Large language models fall short in classifying learners’ open-ended responses," has just been accepted in Research Methods in Applied Linguistics! 🎉 You can check out the postprint on IRIS: iris-database.org/details/Qnxrj-… 👇 This figure sums up our key findings.

#SSLA is pleased to share that the winner of the Albert Valdman Award for 2024 is "Replication studies in second language acquisition research: Definitions, issues, resources, and future directions" by Kevin McManus: cup.org/43UnQol #linguistics #AAAL2025

"Comparisons with traditional measures … show that u has greater sensitivity to unidimensional structure and less sensitivity to the number of items in a scale." Revelle & Condon (in press). Unidim: An index of scale homogeneity and unidimensionality doi.org/10.1037/met000…

Just out: SSLA special issue on replication, edited by @KMcManus84, which includes an incredibly compelling conceptual piece + 11 outstanding studies. Landmark collection for replication research in AL. Congrats to Kevin + all contributing authors! cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Excited to share my open-access paper published in Research Methods in Applied Linguistics (@RMALJournal)! It critically explores the limitations of traditional linear regression models (assuming normal error distribution) for analysing syntactic complexity measures. 1/10

📚Excited to share our recent open-access publication, “Why are some articles highly cited in applied linguistics? A bibliometric study,” in Studies in Second Language Acquisition. 📚Co-authored with my MA student, @ZhangShirley11. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Not every study needs to have a power analysis, but every study needs a sample size justification. I discuss 6 approaches, and 6 ways to think about which effect sizes are of interest in the study you are planning. online.ucpress.edu/collabra/artic…

Why Does ChatGPT "Delve" So Much? Exploring the Sources of Lexical Overrepresentation in Large Language Models 'Scientific English is currently undergoing rapid change, with words like "delve," "intricate," and "underscore" appearing far more frequently than just a few years ago.' arxiv.org/abs/2412.11385

How should we rethink applied linguistics research in an open era?🤔 Prof Emma Marsden and I pose 10 critical questions about open scholarship that challenge our assumptions about knowledge production and sharing. Check out our latest work published by @AppLingPress!🤩

@ChikaHosoda Huge Congrats to you, Chika!

Singed a contract with Routledge to write a book ‘Citizenship Education for Young People’s Empowerment’. It’s based on my PhD so thanks for everyone who supported me during challenging journey. Belated but I’d say #PhDone now.
