Dear colleagues,

My name is Matilde Ellen Simonetti, and I am a PhD student at the 
University of Aachen, Germany. I am currently conducting a meta-analysis 
on the bilingual advantage in word learning.

As part of this project, I am reaching out to researchers who may have 
conducted relevant studies (published or unpublished) that examine word 
learning in bilingual and monolingual individuals. Our goal is to 
compile as comprehensive and representative a dataset as possible.

If you have unpublished data, conference presentations, or in-press work 
that includes comparisons between bilingual and monolingual groups in 
word learning tasks (even if this was not the focus of your work), I 
would be very grateful if you would consider sharing it with us. We are 
especially looking for means and standard deviations (or raw data, if 
more convenient) for both groups to calculate effect sizes.

The protocol for our meta-analysis has been pre-registered and is 
publicly available on the Open Science Framework (OSF): 
https://osf.io/6a7yg/. A PDF version is also available upon request.

All raw data provided will remain confidential and will only be used to 
compute effect sizes. Summary statistics will be included in the 
meta-analytic dataset, which will be shared on OSF in accordance with 
open science practices.

If you’re unsure whether your data fit the criteria or have any 
questions, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to discuss further.

Thank you very much for considering this request. Any contribution would 
be highly appreciated!

Warm regards,
