The Mahidol University Music Journal aims to share collegiate music scholarship. Prospective contributors are encouraged to submit 750-2,500+ words reviews, and scholarly writings of interest to a collegiate music readership. General music or higher education announcements of direct relevance to Thailand and/or Southeast Asia are also welcome. Contributions may be in either English or Thai. Submissions are reviewed on the premise that they are unpublished and not being considered for publication in a journal or monograph elsewhere. Moreover, articles submitted and selected for publication will see authors receive fair compensation. Payment for published articles will be set at a fixed price of 2,000 Baht per article. The Music Journal for the College of Music at Mahidol University retains the right to select articles and adjust content as deemed necessary by the editors, in order to meet operational requirements and standards.

 

Reviews can be of:

• recent concert performances or recordings
• books and pedagogical materials
• new music compositions
• music software, technology, or websites
• any materials of interest to professional musicians, scholars, or educators

 

As an interdisciplinary music journal, scholarly articles can encompass all manner of writings pertaining, but not limited to:

• Performance Arts and Pedagogy
• Musicology/Ethnomusicology
• Education/Music Therapy
• Analysis/Composition
• Reports on conferences
• Interdisciplinary research
• Interviews with artists

 

• All submissions will undergo peer-review and contributors may request that their submission undergo a double-blind peer-review process. This dual-system of review enables a quick review process for short items (i.e. reviews, concise pedagogical documents, and brief articles). The double-blind review process is anticipated to take upwards of four-six months.

• Citations and bibliographies may employ the style guidelines for either the Chicago Manual of Style/Turabian’s Manual for Writers, or the American Psychological Association (APA).
Sample bibliographic formatting for Chicago/Turabian is available at the following

• Music fonts that do not impact vertical line spacing, such as Shpfltnat Medium (http://www.searchfreefonts.com/free/shpfltnat.htm), may be used. If a specialty music font is employed, the contributor may be required to supply the font file.

• The author is responsible for obtaining written permissions to reproduce any copyrighted materials for the journal (in both digital and printed format), as well as payment of any related fees.
