| Abstract | This year sees the tenth issue of the Journal of Imaginary Research. We publish short works of fiction in the genre of the academic ‘research abstract’. These imagined research abstracts, and their imagined researchers are constructed by real academic staff, research staff, and research students. We, Dr Kay Guccione (@kayguccione) and Dr Matthew Cheeseman (@eine), produce a new issue of the journal each November, as November is Global Academic Writing Month. In the early phases we used a workshop of imaginative writing practices to support writers to construct and refine fictional abstracts and biographies that are freed from the confines of day-to-day research projects. In developing this workshop and the journal we wanted to introduce creative writing concepts to researchers working in any and all disciplines, as a way to support people who felt tense, anxious, about writing, or had fallen into a negative relationship with their writing. This paper marks the both the tenth issue of the journal and reflects on the use of creative writing techniques more broadly in the academy, especially in researcher development. |
