While most of these references focus on art and media as spaces of

dissemination in research and research training, it is important to note that
many of the strategies, methodologies and processes can be adopted and
adapted from the creative arts and reconfigured into the broader
humanities and other discipline areas.
Many of these citations contain links, but please consider the links to the
left to the broader publication or information on Practice-based and
Practice-led research process.
An explanation of a reading of the difference between practice-based and
practice-led research can be found in the corresponding PDF.
This list will be updated regularly.
For a standard reader, the Practice as Research text by Estelle Barrett and
Barbara Bolt is recommended. It is up to date, and covers a lot of the
important ground of understanding the articulation of the creative process
and research.
