Not all creative activity and practice, even of the highest quality, constitutes research, and much research in the creative and performing arts involves no such activity at all.

Since 1999, the AHRC has required all applicants for research funding to specify clearly: the research issues, problems, or questions that will be addressed; the context in which those issues, problems, or questions are located (what is known or understood in the general area of the proposed research already, and how addressing or answering the issues, problems, or questions specified will enhance the generally-available knowledge and understanding of the area in question); what research methods will be used to address the issues, problems, or questions that have been specified; and how the results of the research will be disseminated to the research community and to others who might be interested in them.
