Benefits

  • Development of new media opens new opportunities.
  • The rise in social media means some formats, like recorded performance, are now far easier to disseminate world wide.
  • It is easier to engage a wider audience, beyond academia, and demonstrate public engagement or social impact.

Drawbacks

  • Output from research-active performance or live arts departments is often technically complex, multimedia data. Commonly this valuable work is the only remaining trace of ephemeral events, so there are concerns about holding a permanent record.
  • It can be difficult to archive and share with others over time, as technical formats change.
  • It can be a problem to deposit outputs in institutional repositories, because of the format and size of files.
  • Citation counts are difficult to measure.
