A peer-reviewed journal that strives to cultivate ongoing, multi-directional conversations beyond traditional publication boundaries, RUBIX serves as a space for sharing various creative research and emerging scholarly dialogues, encompassing both text and practice-based approaches, while facilitating the exchange of knowledge among different communities of practice. 

Featuring ongoing, open issues on timely topics alongside thematic issues, we aim to elevate the visibility of practice-based research and creative researchers by providing a platform for those not widely represented within traditional scholarly publications. We accept a diverse range of creative research: from academic papers, poetry, experiments with text and image, and sound works, to photography, performances, photo essays, visual art, and video. All submissions, regardless of form, are taken through a peer-review process. 

RUBIX telescopes on creativity as a critical framework with a particular interest in practice-based research and artistic activity as a form of knowledge creation. We invite submissions on creative research and practice for its first open call. Accepted submissions will be featured online on an ongoing basis with the deadline for this issue being September 15th, 2024. Please see the submission guidelines for more details on formatting and file requirements.
