Council’s definition is that research is situated as a part of an investigation that involves trying things out, as opposed to a gathering data, as it is often conceived in traditional academia.

Brad Haseman (2006) has argued for credibility markers for research-creation, or what he refers to as “practice-led research,” that mirror values applied to any academic research:

1. That there is a clearly established problem that drives the study, usually made clear through a “research question” or an “enthusiasm of practice.”
2. That, just as the research problem and its content are under scrutiny, so too will the process of research be scrutinised. It is necessary for the study to articulate its methodology convincingly and so make it available for scrutiny.
3. That the research undertaken is located within its field of enquiry and associated conceptual terrain.
4. That the knowledge claims made from the study be reported to others and demonstrate the benefit of the study in social, cultural, environmental, or economic terms.
5. That what becomes known is made available for sustained and verifiable peer review. (Haseman, 2006, n.p.)
