Psychology measurement lacks standardization — and standardizing our measures starts with documenting them. Cataloguing the field's self-report measures is a crucial step toward reducing measurement proliferation, improving consistency across studies, and making our science more cumulative.

ManyScale is a network of repositories for self-report measures, each covering one subfield within psychology. Building repositories by subfield keeps each one manageable in scope — maintained by researchers embedded in that community who know and use the measures firsthand.

ManyScale is a free and open-source project. Right now, we are looking for collaborators who are interested in leading repositories in their respective subfields. We can give you the tools to help you make a ManyScale for your research area. For a plug-and-play option, we can create the repository on our server (you just add and maintain the measures). Alternatively, we can share the code so you can create your own self-hosted version. If you are interested in hosting a repository for your research area, please get in touch.
