Nota Bene

Aims & Scope

About the Journal Nota Bene is a peer-reviewed, open-access musicology journal developed by the Don Wright Faculty of Music at Western University Canada. It seeks to publish essays of a high critical and rhetorical standard, written by undergraduate students from universities around the world. Essays in historical musicology, ethnomusicology, popular music studies, music theory, music education, and interdisciplinary subjects with a focus on the above are invited. All submissions go through a double-anonymous peer-review process. First, submissions are reviewed anonymously by members of our editorial board, composed of professors and scholars from across Canada. Next, based on the recommendations of the editorial board, the student editors select a group of high-quality papers for publication. Each student who submits to the journal, regardless of whether or not their paper is selected for publication, will receive comments from the editorial board, assessing the content of their paper and offering suggestions for future improvement. After papers have been selected for publication, the student editors work with each selected author to refine and polish their papers before they are published. Nota Bene serves to supplement the undergraduate musicology student experience in several ways: Nota Bene allows students interested in musicology to undergo the process of publishing a paper, including professor review and comments Nota Bene encourages a community of undergraduate musicology students and seeks to provide a venue for a nation-wide discourse in musicology Nota Bene provides information for young music students seeking more information about the discipline of musicology and its professional possibilities, offering a means for student communication through scholarly work and the academic publishing process Nota Bene currently publishes one journal volume yearly. Its ISSN is 1920-8987. It is published by Western Libraries for the Don Wright Faculty of Music at Weste
