Author Guidelines

A submission to Ethnomusicology Translations is an email of nomination to Richard Wolf, General Editor (rwolf@fas.harvard.edu). Ethnomusicology Translations seeks nominations of ethnomusicological articles representing a wide range of languages and geographic areas. Any previously published article in a language other than English is eligible for nomination. The email of nomination should briefly outline how an article meets the following three criteria:

1) Includes a clear statement of research questions, goals, and results.

2) Presents unique musical and ethnographic information and/or addresses significant theoretical issues.

3) Represents an approach to scholarship that complements or contrasts that generally contained in English-language publications.
