About
We are an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed and open access academic journal devoted to pushing forward the approaches to and possibilities for publishing creative media-based research. We publish two issues a year, in April and October.
Championing artistic experimentation alongside critical rigour and creative reflection, the International Journal of Creative Media Research specialises in capturing the emerging tools, approaches and methods of practice-based media arts research. The journal publishes original screen-based, sound-based and experiential forms of creative research, spanning works of film, music, media art, digital writing, curation practice, multi-platform and ludic artefacts that contribute to fields across Media Studies, Communication and Cultural Studies, Art and Design, Music, Creative Writing, Drama, Dance, Performing Arts, Film and Screen Studies, or Education.
