Research in the creative and performing arts

Abstract

The AHRB paper on practice-based research, published in September 2003, as a response to the RAE consultation exercise declares that creative works cannot, of themselves, be considered as valid research outputs. The paper suggests that the works need the equivalent of a scholarly apparatus. The author argues that this position needs to be stated more moderately in order to recognize the realities of the research dimension of the artwork.
