Submit

The Journal of Musicology (JM) welcomes articles in all areas of musical scholarship, including history, criticism, analysis, performance practice, and archival research. JM does not regularly publish reviews, but occasionally publishes review essays on important books and music editions. The typical length for submissions is 8,000–12,000 words (main text plus footnotes). We are happy to consider shorter contributions; in exceptional cases we can publish texts of up to 15,000 words.

JM cannot consider articles that have been published elsewhere or are under consideration by another journal. The Journal’s peer-review process is double-blind; JM promises an unbiased reading of submissions.

In most matters JM follows the most recent edition of the Chicago Manual of Style; please also consult our Brief Style Guide.

Submissions should be sent electronically (as an email attachment) to journalofmusicology@gmail.com and should include, in a single Word document (.doc or .docx):

• The text of the submission, including footnotes);
• Figures, tables, and musical examples (for the initial submission these can be in a low-resolution format);
• An abstract of 200–300 words;         
• Full contact information, including postal address and phone number

It is best if the document does not exceed 15MB. Questions can be addressed to journalofmusicology@gmail.com.
