*International Journal of Creative Media Research*
*Issue 1 Now Published*

*www.creativemediaresearch.org <http://www.creativemediaresearch.org>*

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the *International Journal of Creative
Media Research,* Bath Spa University's new interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed
and open access academic journal devoted to pushing forward the approaches
to and possibilities for publishing creative and practice-based research.

Championing critical rigour and creative reflection, the journal
specialises in capturing the emerging tools, approaches and methods of
practice-based and practice-led research. It publishes original
screen-based, sound-based, time-based and experiential forms of creative
media research, spanning works of film, music, media art, creative and
digital writing, curation practice, multiplatform and ludic artefacts that
contribute to fields across Media and Game Studies, Communication and
Cultural Studies, Art and Design, Music, Creative Writing, Drama, Dance,
Performing Arts, Film and Screen Studies, or Education.

In creating a platform that is more reflective of the kinds of creative,
interactive, multi-strand research artefacts that are now being produced
across different disciplines around the world, the *International Journal
of Creative Media Research* provides authors with flexibility in how their
creative and practice-based research is published, spanning submission
categories of Single-Piece Explorations, Multi-Piece Portfolios, Practice
Discoveries, and Issues in Creative Practice Research. It allows authors to
enhance the academic dimension of their creative practice, producing
research statements and 'route-maps' that give greater space for the
discussion of research questions, methods, and contribution to original
knowledge. We also encourage the inclusion of more types of media, be it
video, audio, blog, podcast, or image.

Our inaugural issue showcases the work of the journal’s editors and select
members of the international editorial board, with topics spanning
postdigital media, digital writing, fiction machines, multi-platform
education, compositional crystallography, games curatorial practice,
observational documentary, digital image sensors, and political app
development. Altogether, the work in this issue aims to capture new
insights into ways of engaging with creative and practice-based research,
spanning fields of Media, Creative Writing, Dance, Computing, Art, History,
and Education.
