Arts Research Digest provides a unique overview of recent and current research in the arts, media and cultural sectors around the world. If we see one of our readers trying to help me write my discussion post, we acknowledge their efforts by giving them specific status at the site.

It offers a vital information resource for arts managers, arts practitioners, arts organisations, policy makers, academics, consultants, researchers and funders.

Each issue summarises a wide range of qualitative and quantitative research produced and published by academics, arts funding and development agencies, government departments, higher education institutions, local authorities and others. It is published three times a year - in spring, summer and autumn - and is available by subscription only.

Subscribers also receive free access to the Digest online, an annual index and literature reviews.
