In a Practice-based Research doctoral programme, an original/creative
piece of work is included in the submission for examination. It is
distinct in that significant aspects of the claim for doctoral
characteristics of originality, mastery and contribution to the field
are held to be demonstrated through the original creative work.
Practice-based doctoral submissions must include a substantial
contextualisation of the creative work. This critical appraisal or
analysis not only clarifies the basis of the claim for the originality
and location of the original work, it also provides the basis for a
judgement as to whether general scholarly requirements are met. This
could be defined as judgement of the submission as a contribution to
knowledge in the field, showing doctoral level powers of analysis and
mastery of existing contextual knowledge, in a form which is accessible
to and auditable by knowledgeable peers.

Practice-based research is distinguishable from research subjects
with a ‘practice element’ in them which includes subjects such as
teaching, medicine and engineering, that can give rise to doctoral
study in traditional forms – by research, in a taught mode or via
publications – as indeed can art and design. These are not
practice-based doctorates, although the focus of the research can be to
advance knowledge about practice, or to advance knowledge within
practice.
Practice-led research is about practice and results in new knowledge
that has operational significance for that practice. Such research
includes practice as an integral part of its method and falls within
the general area of action research. The results of practice-led
research may be fully described in text.
