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...

Welcome to the Experience Sampling Methodology (ESM) Item Repository!
We are an open science initiative, which aims to support the further development of Expierence Sampling Methodology (ESM) research by creating an open repository of existing ESM items. To achieve this, we established the ESM Item Repository in 2018. The repository portal launched in October 2019 and to date the repository contains 3300+ items, contributed by researchers from 11 different countries, and we have more on the way!
The primary aims of the ESM item repository are to:

I lead the repository team and guide the scientific and conceptual direction of the project. I work on collecting item contributions for the repository, designing user materials for the repository, problem-solving, and output.
I am a scientific researcher and programmer at the Central Bureau of Statistics of the Netherlands. From our start at the 2018 ESM Network Meeting, I have worked on front- and backend development and maintenance of the Repository code. I am now leading the coding team.
Since joining the ESM Item Repository team in 2022, I have worked on data management and programming code for the search portal. I also am streamlining and standardising the submission of new items, to make the process faster and easier for contributors and the information clearer for our users.

I am a research coordinator at KU Leuven, and I coordinate the collecting and processing items for inclusion in the ESM Item Repository.
Within the data team, I am responsible for identifying and harvesting ESM items from the literature to be included in the Repository, as well as for cleaning and preprocessing these data.
I am a an intern at the CCP and I am assisting the Data Team with harvesting and processing items for the Repository.

I am responsible for overseeing the scientific objectives of the ESM item repository. Together with the team, I conducted a Delphi study with international ESM experts to develop ESM Q, a consensus-based quality assessment tool for ESM items.
I joined the ESM item Repository team in 2023. As a member of the coding team, I am involved in the development and maintenance of the Repository search portal.

In the ESM Item Repository, I worked on planning and conducting the Delphi study with ESM experts, to develop quality criteria for ESM items. I also assisted with item submissions and communication with contributors. In addition, I worked on graphics and outreach materials.
Admin support
I'm based at KU Leuven, Belgium. I took care of all admin needs in this project and have built this website!
Intern
I was an intern at KU Leuven and I worked on collecting and processing items for inclusion in the repository. I also worked with the coding team to keep the back end of the repository running smoothly.

Research Coordinator
I take care of all admin support and the coordination of the project.
I was an Erasmus+ intern at the CCP in 2024, and I worked on the Repository Special Collection for ESM items on suicidal and non-suicidal self-injurious thoughts and behaviours.

I supported the project by translating incoming questionnaires from multiple languages into English.
For the Repository I mainly worked on cleaning the data before we upload them into our database, so that search queries will provide researchers with the correct data.
