Practice research is a form of academic research which incorporates an element of practice in the methodology or research output.
Rather than seeing the relationship between practice and theory as a dichotomy, as has sometimes traditionally been the case (see academia: theory and practice heading), there is a growing body of practice research academics across a number of disciplines who use practice as part of their research. For example the practice-based research network (PBRN) within clinical medical research.

Famous quotes containing the words practice and/or research:
“Communism to me is one-third practice and two-thirds explanation.”
—Will Rogers (1879–1935)
“Men talk, but rarely about anything personal. Recent research on friendship ... has shown that male relationships are based on shared activities: men tend to do things together rather than simply be together.... Female friendships, particularly close friendships, are usually based on self-disclosure, or on talking about intimate aspects of their lives.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
