Focus and Scope
The Scottish Music Review will be a yearbook-style, web-based publication profiling music research in all its diversity, with a particular emphasis on work taking place in Scotland. It is assumed that most contributors will be university-based, although this should not mean that independent scholars, composers and musicians will be excluded.
Submissions that are especially suited to internet dissemination or format will be particularly welcome. Submissions involving the study of all types of music are encouraged, as are compositions and other creative (or performative) artefacts that suit web-based publication.
Articles should normally be 5-10,000 words in length. Compositions and other creative or performative artefacts should normally be accompanied with a commentary or account of context, as appropriate.
