Enhancing Searchability: archiving practice research

This is a recording of the UKRN online workshop "Enhancing Searchability: archiving practice research" held on Monday 15 November 2021.

This workshop covered challenges and issues involved with documenting and archiving practice research. Some of the questions this panel aimed to address included:

- How can we ensure that practice research is fully searchable and visible in the public domain?
- Are university repositories able to host the research findings of practice research projects run within, or in collaboration with, universities in the UK?
What kinds of practices can we design and share that allow for the most effective and efficient means of sharing the research findings of work in this area?
- How do we consider the ways in which disciplinary differences warrant different considerations in devising systems (technological or otherwise) for archiving and disseminating practice research?
