Analitica. Online Journal of Music Studies

About the Journal

Analitica. An Online Journal of Music Studies is an open-access peer-reviewed journal published annually on behalf of the Italian Society for Music Theory and Analysis – GATM. We address a music-theoretically oriented readership that seeks inspiring new ideas from a variety of approaches, ranging from the analysis of different repertoires to performance studies and artistic research, from music education to the cognitive and computational sciences. We welcome contributions on all areas of music theory and analysis, but we particularly encourage proposals that complement, extend, or even challenge traditional ontologies, epistemologies, and methodologies within these disciplines, and that intersect music-theoretical and -analytical concerns with perspectives and methods from artistic or empirical research.

Authors are invited to submit original contributions in Italian or in English on these topics (multiple publication is not allowed). We encourage authors to enrich the written text with multi-media materials, making full use of the digital publication format. Alongside articles to be published in PDF format, our Editorial team welcomes interactive submissions in html and is happy to collaborate with authors to implement non-standard publication formats (i.e., beyond the written text) to accommodate the specificities of, e.g., artistic research.

Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis, and there are no fees associated with submitting to and publishing in the Journal. The Editorial team screens submissions for adherence to the Journal’s Aims and scope and Editorial Policies, and makes a final decision on the publication of proposals based on a double-blind peer review process involving at least two external experts.

About the Italian Society for Music Theory and Analysis (GATM)

The Italian Society for Music Theory and Analysis – GATM aps is an association of scholars that aims to promote and disseminate new analytical and theoretical knowledge in the field of music in Italy. The Society was created in 1989 by the joint initiative of five associations of musicologists, and is the Italian representative within the European Network of the Societies for Music Theory. Among its many activities, beyond publishing Analitica, the Society promotes a Master degree in Music Theory, hosts an annual International Conference, and publishes another scientific journal, the Rivista di Analisi e Teoria Musicale (RATM). We encourage our authors and readers to stay in touch with the activities of the Society, and to consider supporting our work by becoming members.
