"Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.”

G. Randolf

Not much here to work with - would help to know who they are & what measure(s) you're looking for. In general, the thing to do is to look up the authors' current affiliations (e.g., university appointments), email address, phone number, etc., and reach out that way. Start with email, progress to telephone or "snail mail" if you don't get a response after (say) two tries. Make your messages professional in tone so you'll be taken seriously. Most authors are happy to oblige, though sometimes they are very busy and let requests slip by. Sorry if this is obvious, but again, your question was pretty general.

Sorry, you are experiencing this problem. Like Stephen Joy outlined above, follow his advice and see what happens. It all depends on what instrument you are using.

Good Luck.

Dear Stephon Joy,

I have tried similar things. Some of the authors are retired now, some of their contact emails are invalid now, and some of them changed school, city or country and have no access to their qusionnaire anymore.

I am grateful for your concern, ypur deatiled answer.

Best regards.

I am looking for the following ones now, as ı could not reach the former one.

(Metacognitive Reading Strategies Questionnaire (MRSQ) of Taraban, Kerr and Rynearson (2004) and Cognitive Strategies Questionnaire (CSQ) of Maghsudi and Talebi (2009).)

Roman Taraban is at Texas Tech University. Try [email protected] or (806) 834--0450.

Mojtaba Maghsudi was at Mysore University; the paper you reference can be found here and contains the instrument itself: http://ut.pr/biblioteca/Glossa2/Journal/jun2008/The_Impact_of_Linguality_on_Cognitive.pdf

I think he is now here: English Language Department, Farhangian University, Tehran, Iran: [email protected]
