Abstract (original language):
The study of applied arts through theory and methods grounded in knowledge of crafts is still an outsider within the academy and in the scientific arena. This research paper explores the field of craft- and practical research, with focus on practical researchers and their experienced position in the academic discussion.

By generating a grounded theory about the field of craft- and practical research in Sweden, the field can be discussed and understood as a part of the academic world. The generated theory shows that the main concern for researches within the field is a lack of acceptance of their research by other parts of the scientific community. The grounded theory highlights four important areas that need to be established and discussed within the field itself and with the rest of the academic world. This is important in order to understand and accept practical knowledge as a base for both theory and method in scientific research. These areas are: economy, scientific validity, communication and research purpose.

The finished theory and theoretical model can be used as a tool for growing the potential of practical research within the field of applied arts and for gaining acceptance from the broader scientific community. The theory is grounded in the Swedish field of practical research, but it can also be used in the international context and be modified thereafter.
