Call for Papers: Ethnomusicology Review Volume 25

Ethnomusicology Review is now accepting submissions for Volume 25, scheduled for publication in Spring 2026. Started as Pacific Review of Ethnomusicology (PRE) in 1984, Ethnomusicology Review is a refereed journal managed by UCLA graduate students and a faculty advisory board. Our online format allows authors to rethink how they use media to present their argument and data, moving beyond the constraints of print journals. We encourage submissions that make use of video, audio, color photographs, and interactive media.

Articles are original essays of no more than 8,000 words on topics related to musical practice and will be subject to an extensive peer-review process prior to publication. These may be written from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, including ethnomusicology, musicology, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies. While essays in languages other than English may be considered for publication, the abstract must be submitted in English. 

The submission deadline is November 10th, 2025. 

Email submissions to emreview@ucla.edu.

Full submission guidelines: ethnomusicologyreview.ucla.edu/submission-guidelines

Editors endeavor to receive review reports and notify authors of acceptance within three months.
