ISSN 2516-8061 (Online)

MUSIC.OLOGY.ECA was founded by two MMus students, Rebecca Waxman and Abi McQuater in 2019, with the first issues published September 2020. When they graduated, Rebecca and Abi passed the journal onto co-editors Melissa Morton and Ashley Stein. After a successful launch of issue two in September 2021, the journal is now co-edited by a group of MMus and PhD students with wide ranging research interests and specialisms.

MUSIC.OLOGY.ECA is a student-led, peer-reviewed, Open Access journal. All content is published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence, unless otherwise stated. There are no fees to access or publish in the journal.

Aims & Scope

MUSIC.OLOGY.ECA's focus is showcasing interdisciplinary music research, reviews and criticism, as well as raising awareness of the field of musicology throughout the University of Edinburgh. 

A wide variety of submissions are accepted including essays, reviews, audiovisual essays, and audio recordings.  We aim to highlight students and researchers who are in the early stages of their research career (i.e., master’s level and early-stage PhD) and give them an opportunity to have their work published, with an option for it to be peer reviewed.

We encourage submissions or enquiries from UoE students, researchers and affiliates who are working with music regardless of their degree’s discipline.  

Publication Frequency

MUSIC.OLOGY.ECA publishes one issue per year in September.
