In attempts to preserve the unique aspects of Scanian,{{failed verification|reason=The cited page does not mention Scanian or Scania specifically.|date=October 2020}} the words have been recorded and documented by the Institute for Dialectology, Onomastics and Folklore Research in Sweden.<ref>[http://www.sofi.se/ Institute for Dialectology, Onomastics and Folklore Research] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070527075556/http://www.sofi.se/ |date=2007-05-27 }}.

This project is led by Helmer Lång and involves a group of scholars from different fields, including Birger Bergh, linguistics, Inger Elkjær and Inge Lise Pedersen, researcher of Danish dialects. 

Several Scanian dictionaries have been published over the years, including one by Sten Bertil Vide, who wrote his doctoral thesis on the names of plants in [[South Swedish dialects]].<ref>Vide, S.-B.
