About the journal
Founded by David Kraehenbuehl at Yale in 1957, JMT is the oldest music-theory journal now published in the United States. Originally a publication of the Yale School of Music, where it was officially housed for many years, JMT has always been edited by scholars associated with the Department of Music in Yale's Faculty of Arts and Sciences, a relationship formalized in the last decade with JMT's move to the Department. As we approach our second half-century, we look forward to maintaining our tradition of publishing the very best peer-reviewed research in the discipline.
Instructions to Authors
Information for Contributors
JMT welcomes submissions in all areas of music theory. We prefer pieces of a moderate length (on the order of 5,000 to 10,000 words, including notes).
Citations. JMT uses inline parenthetical citations, following the author-date style of reference detailed in the Chicago Manual of Style. When citing three or fewer works, use inline parenthetical references; endnotes should reserved for discursive notes or omnibus citations. In any case, notes should be kept to a minimum. Never use a note for three or fewer citations without some sort of discursive annotation more substantial than "In this connection, see..." or the like.
Submission format. We prefer that manuscripts be submitted by email in PDF format to the editorial office, according to the following guidelines:
1. Double-space everything, including notes and references.
2. Use footnotes rather than endnotes. (Endnotes will be required in the final electronic copy; see below.)
3. Place "floats" (musical examples, tables, figures, etc.) in the text, or between pages of text, rather than at the end. (All floats must be provided separately in the final electronic copy; see below.) There are two options for numbering floats. Option A: Call everything an "Example" and number them sequentially throughout the article. Option B: Use separate numbering sequences for different categories of floats. Use the following categories: "Example" (score excerpts [scanned or transcribed], reductions, and voice-leading graphs), "Table" (tabular text only), "Figure" (anything else). No other categories are acceptable.
If a PDF cannot be supplied, please send three paper copies prepared in accordance with these guidelines to the mailing address below.
Manuscript submission for accepted articles. Authors of accepted articles will be required to provide copy in one of the following formats: plain text, RTF, or Microsoft Word. Fancy formatting, such as special typefaces, mathematical type, or inline graphics, must be prepared in consultation with the editor. The author of an accepted submission is required to provide electronic copy in one of the following formats: plain text, RTF, or Microsoft Word. Matters of style are referred to The Chicago Manual of Style, as modified by a small in-house style sheet, which governs musical terms of art and specifies our citation style.
Review process. All submissions are peer-reviewed by masthead editors of JMT. Authors wishing to remain strictly anonymous are responsible for ensuring blind review by carefully avoiding identifying themselves in manuscripts. Decisions are normally made within six months of manuscript delivery. Referees are asked to answer the following three questions in their reports:
1. What are the submission's primary aims and scope? How worthy are these goals, in light of JMT's mission to present music-theoretical research that has important applications in the analysis of music or the history of music theory, or that engages and stimulates ongoing discourse in areas of vital disciplinary interest?
2. How original is the submission? Does it appropriately account for and rely on existing scholarship in the area?
3. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the submission's methodology and presentation? Are there specific revisions that would be necessary to bring the submission in line with its aims and scope?
Copyright issues. JMT requires that authors assign their copyright to the journal once an article has been accepted. We cannot consider articles that are under review with other publications or publishers in any form, nor will we grant permission to reprint an article in a book within a year of publication in JMT. Authors are responsible for securing permission for reprinting copyrighted material quoted or otherwise used in their work.
All inquiries about JMT's content and editorial policies may be made to the editor at jmt.editor (at) yale.edu or at the editorial mailing address, to which all paper manuscripts should be sent:
