About the journal
The Journal of the Musical Arts in Africa, produced in collaboration with the South African College of Music at University of Cape Town, will henceforth also be published by NISC. The young journal, currently in its fourth volume, aims to combine ethnomusicological, musicological, music educational and performance-based research in a unique way to promote the musical arts on the African continent. Other than publishing research, the journal provides practical suggestions for music teachers as well as general arts and culture practitioners on instrumental and vocal training, and publishes audio and audiovisual media on a supplementary DVD.
Instructions to Authors
Full-length articles
The following factors are considered when evaluating a manuscript’s suitability for publication in JMAA:
?The manuscript offers new, original insights or interpretations and is not merely a restatement of published ideas and views;
?The manuscript makes a significant contribution to the field and extends the boundaries of musical arts discourse;
?The manuscript is likely to arouse readers?interest and stimulate debate;
?The manuscript reflects sound scholarship and uses a research design with appropriate, correctly interpreted references to other authors and works; or
?Should the manuscript challenge the conventions and/or boundaries of published scholarly presentation, it is sufficiently credible and persuasive to warrant publication.
Reviews and review articles
Succinct, critical, evaluative reviews of professional books, texts and other resources, including computer software and audio and audio-visual recordings. Reviews should provide a descriptive and evaluative summary, briefly discussing the work’s significance in the context of current theory and practice. In addition to adopting conventional review formats, reviewers are encouraged to use alternative methods of presentation, such as critically engaging the author in a dialogue.
Brief reports and summaries
Short reports on any aspect of theory and practice in academia (conferences, workshops, etc.). We encourage the submission of manuscripts that either showcase preliminary findings of research in progress or focus on larger studies.

6. Contributors are reminded that the language and content of papers should be non-discriminatory, i.e. it should be non-sexist and non-racist:
(a) The notion that ‘man?is a generic term which includes women is now unacceptable; thus when reference is to both sexes, ‘man?and ‘men?should be avoided. Some alternatives are ‘person? ‘people? ‘human beings?or ‘men and women? The use nt -" ft">of ‘he?and ‘him?can be avoided in most cases by using the plural forms ‘they?or ‘their? Examples of sexist and non-sexist formulations are:
The child ?he Children ?they
Man’s achievements Human achievements, people’s achievements
Headmasters Headteachers, Heads, Principals
Wives/husbands Spouses/families
(b) In empirical research, avoid generalisations from a single sex group or an unrepresentative group to a broader category such as ‘youth? ‘children?or ‘teachers?
Manuscripts that do not conform to the requirements listed above will not be considered for publication.
