The Creative Arts Research Outputs (CARO) collection showcases non-traditional research outputs that exemplify high level creative inquiry at Edith Cowan University. These works sit alongside traditional research outputs such as scholarly books, journal articles and refereed conference publications and represent a significant category of research produced through creative practice.
CAROs encompass a wide range of creative forms and modes of production and are assessed using rigorous standards. Each output included in this collection has undergone a structured internal verification and peer review process to ensure it meets the recognised national definition of research. This process supports consistency, quality, integrity and transparency in the assessment of creative practice as research.
Accepted CAROs contribute to internal research reporting and demonstrate ECU’s commitment to creative research. The collection reflects the University’s approach to evaluating creative works with the same level of scholarly rigour applied to more traditional research outputs.
