OECD definition of research

• Any creative systematic activity undertaken in order to increase the stock of knowledge, including knowledge of man, culture and society, and the use of this knowledge to devise new applications (OECD Glossary of Statistical Terms, http://stats.oecd.org/glossary/, 2014).

There is nothing special about practice-led research, no need for

special pleading, nor for ring-fenced monies to fund the work!
