- The storing and archiving of such research
- Ethics and methodologies in the field
- Intercultural issues
The editors focus on advances in arts- and practice-based doctorates, and their application in other fields and disciplines. The contributions chart new territory for universities, research project directors, supervisors and research students regarding the nature and format of graduate and doctoral work, as well as research projects.
