Submissions

Mission Statement
The purpose of Music and the Moving Image is to explore the relationship between music and the entire universe of moving images (television, film, computer, cell phone, and multimedia) through articles, reviews, and interviews. The editorial board encourages submissions from both scholars and practitioners. Although the journal is presented in English and accessible to the non-specialist, submissions that discuss the relationship between music and moving images in non English-speaking nations and diverse cultures are encouraged.

Submission Guidelines

Submissions are accepted electronically via Google Forms or as email attachments to MamiJournal@nyu.edu. Submissions are reviewed anonymously; thus, author name and contact information should appear in a separate file and not in the manuscript itself. Text files should be formatted as MS Word documents or as documents compatible with MS Word, and all figures, illustrations, and musical example should be presented in separate files, formatted as TIFFs or JPGs at 300 dpi or greater.

Submissions should include a short (50-word) abstract, should be no longer than 10,000words in length, and should conform to The Chicago Manual of Style (16thedition). The order of elements in the submission should be as follows: 

• Title
• Abstract
• Body Text
• Acknowledgments
• Endnotes
• References (optional)
• Tables and Figures

The journal will be pleased to consider submissions consisting of edited interviews, provided such submissions follow the standard format outlined below, are properly documented, and include contextual introductions. Authors are encouraged to approach the editors about interviews before conducting them.

Manuscripts should be submitted electronically via Google Forms or as email attachments to MamiJournal@nyu.edu.

We welcome announcements of newly published books on music for moving images. Please submit full citation to ron.sadoff@nyu.edu.

Peer Review Policy

This journal uses a double blind peer review process overseen by the editors with at least 2 reviewers, with additional reviewers as necessary. Editors seek out expert external reviewers matched to the article's topic and methodology. For special issues, this process will include the special issue editor. Occasionally editorial board members are invited to review due to their knowledge in the topic area, rather than their editorial board positions. In the instance of tribute panels, keynote addresses, or edited versions of interviews or presentations, given at the annual Music and the Moving Image conference with practitioners and composers, these works are curated between the editors, relevant members of the editorial board, and the author(s). 

About the Journal

The Executive Editors of Music and the Moving Image are conductor-musicologist Ronald H. Sadoff and Robynn J.Stilwell, Director of the Film Music program at New York University in the Steinhardt School. In collaboration with the Film Music Society, Music and the Moving Image is published by the University of Illinois Press.
