Practice-based Research is a form of research that aims to advance
knowledge partly by means of practice. The type of research is an
original investigation undertaken in order to gain knowledge and
understanding. It includes the invention of ideas, images, performances
and artefacts including design, where these lead to new or
substantially improved insights. Practice-based research (in particular for a PhD) is research where some of the resulting knowledge is embodied in an artefact. Whilst the significance and context of that knowledge is described in words, a full understanding of it can only be obtained with reference to the artefact itself. Artefacts in practice-based research can range from paintings and buildings to software and poems.

The development of the guide is informed by a seminar series, documents of which are available as notes or video.
