Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Key difference between "practice-based" and "practice-led"

I think what you're describing is more practice-led, where the practice raises questions that can be explored through further research. It's a distinction that I've always found difficult (after all, how do we come up with questions in practice-based research unless we've at least already done SOME practice???), but seems relevant here.
Since I focus mostly on practice-based research, that's what my model is founded on. I'd love to add another model to this resource that is practice-led! If you've developed a methodology on your project, and would want to post it or link to it, I think that would be really useful. There's definitely more than one way to skin the practice-research cat.
