Journal of Research Practice

Aims & Scope

Cessation.

The Journal of Research Practice (JRP) seeks to develop our understanding of research as a type of practice, so as to extend and enhance that practice in 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 welcomes deliberation on the basic issues and challenges encountered by researchers in any specific domain.

The journal aims to explore why and how different activities, criteria, methods, and languages become part of research practice in any domain.

This is expected to trigger interdisciplinary dialogue, mutual learning, facilitate research education, and promote innovations in different fields.

The scope of JRP is not defined in terms of academic disciplines of professional fields.

It cuts across disciplines and fields by drawing out the living dimensions of research unfolding through history, culture, research communities, professions, and of course the lives of individual researchers.

The journal seeks to study the evolving patterns of thinking and practice that underlie open inquiry in any domain.

The scope also includes topics such as research training, research design, research utilisation, research policy, and innovative forms of research.

The journal targets all researchers, scholars, research-inclined professionals, and research students, irrespective of their disciplinary background.

It seeks to attract reflective articles on the dynamics and challenges of research practice in context, as well as articles presenting experiences and learning from research carried out in an innovative way
