AUTHOR GUIDELINES

General Instructions

The Revista Música receives submissions in a continuous stream, throughout the year. However, due to our biannual periodicity, v. 1 is published in July and v. 2 in December. To accomplish this schedule, it is recommended that the interested parties submit to v. 1 to send at the latest until May 15; for v. 2 The maximum date is October 15. In this way, enough time is guaranteed to carry out the editorial process.

There is a template at: RM template V23.zip.

The Revista Música does not accept more than one paper submitted by the same author and/or co-author, into the same issue of the journal. Nor does it agree to publish articles by the same author or co-author in consecutive issues of the journal.

Reviews must be about books published less than two years from the current issue of this journal. It is expected that they present critical elements that contrast the analyzed work in relation to the field of investigation in which it is inserted and position it in relation to the reference literature in the area. It is desirable for a review to be between 2000 and 8000 words, but exceptional cases, more or less than that, can be considered.

Authors who have approved papers should send to the Editorial Board of the Revista Música a Formal Statement, giving the copyrights for publication in the journal, both in printed and electronic format, on an exclusive basis, as well as a declaration of the originality of the text, which can only be reproduced with the express authorization of the publishers. Contributors will retain the right to reuse material published in future collections of their work.

The statements and concepts emitted in signed articles, as well as the veracity of the information provided to them, are the sole responsibility of the authors and do not express the opinion of the editors or editorial board of the Revista Música.

If the topic of the article involves research results with humans, the approval number of the Research Ethics Committee (CEP) should be registered.
