Responsible conduct of research-creation: a portrait of an uncharted field of research

Abstract

Responsible conduct of research (RCR) is ubiquitous, and present in most areas of research. One area that has received little attention is Research-Creation (RC): • an emergent eld at the interface of academic research and creative activities • in Quebec, Canada, RC is de ned as “research activities or approaches that foster the creation or interpretation/ performance of literary or artistic works of all types” Researcher-Creators – who are at the same time researchers and practising artists, musicians, or designers – may be faced with very di erent issues or challenges from colleagues in the rest of academia. • How are RCR issues are articulated in RC? • How does the heterogeneous RC community responds to institutional policies or provincial/national RCR guidelines? This review aimed to identify and categorize RCR issues, and RC-speci c factors.
