Music & Science

Music & Science welcomes original research, commentaries and reviews, and sets no upper or lower limit on article length. As the journal is online it can host audio and video files. It has an open data policy; authors should be prepared to share and to make freely available data sets as well as relevant musical materials—audiovisual, sonic and notated. Authors are also encouraged to publish a summary of their research in audiovisual or podcast form alongside their submission to highlight for a non-specialist audience the significance of their research in the broad field of music and science as well as its potential impact. Together with SAGE, the editors aim to ensure that Article Processing Charges (APCs) are kept as low as possible so as to stimulate submissions from international researchers at all stages in their career. For its first year of operation, there will be no APC; subsequently there will be a discount of 50% for members of SEMPRE. Publication will be continuous and we aim to ensure a turn-around time for submissions that is as fast as is commensurate with a rigorous reviewing process.
