Journal of Research Practice

The Journal of Research Practice (JRP) is an international online publication which, according to the publishers, "seeks to develop our understanding of research as a type of practice, so as to extend and enhance that practice in the future. The Journal aims to highlight the dynamics of research practice, as it unfolds in the life of a researcher, in the growth and decline of a field, and in relation to a changing social and institutional environment. ... The Journal aims to explore why and how different activities, criteria, methods, and languages become part of research practice in any domain."

The Journal takes an interdisciplinary approach, seeking articles which expose the "living dimensions" of research as a part of "history, culture, research communities, professions, and ...the lives of individual researchers." The journal also includes topics such as:

• research training
• research design
• research utilisation
• research policy
• innovative forms of research

The journal is an open-access, refereed publication and is supported by a variety of institutions from around the world and is published by the International Consortium for the Advancement in Academic Publication (ICAAP).
