Introducing Septentrio Creative: A playground for creative materials in academic publishing

Researchers do unexpected things. They are creative and in need of a place where their many different kinds of work can find a home. Septentrio Creative is such a place. As a diamond open-access publication channel led by scholars at UiT The Arctic University of Norway it supports and explores creativity in academia. By opening a space for diverse academic materials and their theoretical explorations, the channel publishes creative outputs from research, development, teaching, innovation, mobility, outreach, administration, community engagement, interventions, and more. Septentrio Creative is also a place to publish digital exhibitions, installations, short fiction, poetry, music, digital art, software, scores, blueprints, and complementary materials to research published elsewhere. Submissions are welcome to mix more than one form of expression to bring lateral thinking to their topic.
