The Research Catalogue (RC)

THE LARGEST INTERNATIONAL ONLINE PLATFORM

The Research Catalogue is the largest repository for artistic research. As an international platform for sustainable, long-term, open access publication of artistic research outcomes and results, it hosts 4,800 published expositions and serves 28,000 users. It aims to be an open space for experimentation and exchange.

MULTIPLE MODES OF PRESENTATION

For artistic research, the mode of presentation of research outcomes and results is essential. PDFs and conventional formats for research publications are not suitable for complex and rich media presentations. The Research Catalogue provides a platform that also supports non-linear forms of presentation for research and education across the arts and beyond.

 

FREE FOR ARTISTS AND RESEARCHERS

The Research Catalogue is a non-commercial, collaborative platform. It is free to use for artists and researchers. It serves also as a backbone for teaching purposes, student assessment, peer review workflows, journal publications and research funding administration.

SUPPORTING SOUND, IMAGE, VIDEO, TEXT

The Research Catalogue allows artists and researchers to go beyond the standard format of journal articles or research repositories. It allows for the combination of sound, moving and still images, video, and other media in an integrated format for presentation. The visual disposition and the focus on different media formats is under the full control  the authors.

BECOME A PORTAL PARTNER

The Research Catalogue facilitates not only the presentation and documentation of the outcomes of individual research in the form of expositions. As Portal Partners, institutions are partners in the joint development of the RC. They also enjoy a much wider range of benefits and privileges, including:

  • Exclusive institutional repositories and archives, hosted in an international artistic research context with guaranteed long-term storage
  • A platform to publish online rich media journals that has been thoroughly tested and is used by a number of journals.
  • Innovative teaching and learning solutions that allow for seamless supervision and examination within the RC, enhancing efficiency and convenience for all involved.
  • A research management module for handling research funding applications within a closed portal. This module includes assessment, decision-making and storage.
  • An extension to facilitate the submission of applications for PhD and study programmes allowing for the inclusion of rich media.
  • An extension for doctoral supervision and examination of those parts of final results that must be documented and stored.
