*International Journal of Creative Media Research*
*_Issue 1 Now Published_*

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the /International Journal of Creative 
Media Research,/ Bath Spa University's new interdisciplinary, 
peer-reviewed and open access academic journal devoted to pushing 
forward the approaches to and possibilities for publishing creative and 
practice-based research.

Championing critical rigour and creative reflection, the journal 
specialises in capturing the emerging tools, approaches and methods of 
practice-based and practice-led research. It publishes original 
screen-based, sound-based, time-based and experiential forms of creative 
media research, spanning works of film, music, media art, creative and 
digital writing, curation practice, multiplatform and ludic artefacts 
that contribute to fields across Media and Game Studies, Communication 
and Cultural Studies, Art and Design, Music, Creative Writing, Drama, 
Dance, Performing Arts, Film and Screen Studies, or Education.

In creating a platform that is more reflective of the kinds of creative, 
interactive, multi-strand research artefacts that are now being produced 
across different disciplines around the world, the /International 
Journal of Creative Media Research/ provides authors with flexibility in 
how their creative and practice-based research is published, spanning 
submission categories of Single-Piece Explorations, Multi-Piece 
Portfolios, Practice Discoveries, and Issues in Creative Practice 
Research. It allows authors to enhance the academic dimension of their 
creative practice, producing research statements and 'route-maps' that 
give greater space for the discussion of research questions, methods, 
and contribution to original knowledge. We also encourage the inclusion 
of more types of media, be it video, audio, blog, podcast, or image.

Our inaugural issue showcases the work of the journal’s editors and 
select members of the international editorial board, with topics 
spanning postdigital media, digital writing, fiction machines, 
multi-platform education, compositional crystallography, games 
curatorial practice, observational documentary, digital image sensors, 
and political app development. Altogether, the work in this issue aims 
to capture new insights into ways of engaging with creative and 
practice-based research, spanning fields of Media, Creative Writing, 
Dance, Computing, Art, History, and Education.
