ANNOUNCEMENT
There is a new online journal for music research. It is called the JOURNAL
OF MUSIC RESEARCH ONLINE (JMRO) and is an initiative of the Music Council of
Australia (http://www.mca.org.au). The JMRO's website address is http://jmro.org.au
and more information can be found at that address.
JMRO publishes English language, scholarly research articles in areas
including, but not limited to, the following:
Composition
Early Music
Ethnomusicology
Gender Studies in Music
Interdisciplinary Studies in Music
Music Education
Music Technologies
Musicology
Performance Practice
Popular Music
Papers submitted for publication will be peer reviewed and only those papers
of the highest international scholarly standards will be accepted for
publication.
Online journals are attractive to many authors because the time between
submission and publication can be reduced significantly by comparison with
print journals. Journal articles are posted, immediately they become ready.
JMRO does not have page limits. More importantly, JMRO offers authors the
possibility of including images, scores, sound samples and video clips in
their articles where that will enhance the presentation of the research.
All JMRO business, including submssion of articles, reviewing etc, is
conducted from the website.
JMRO has a distinguished international editorial board comprising:
