This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

  • Articles longer than 25 pages for which extensive narrative is essential will be considered at the discretion of the editor/editorial committee.

Tables and Figures

  • Authors may include a combined total of seven tables and/or figures. These must be publishable in black and white.
  • Tables and/or figures beyond seven may be submitted for use as online-only supplemental material and should be clearly labeled accordingly.
  • Online supplemental material may include any digital files including documents images, media, recordings, video, and/or illustrations (see Permissions information in the section that follows). These materials will be posted as provided, and will not be typeset or otherwise reformatted.
  • Music examples, figures, photographs, and other illustrations must be checked for accuracy before submission.
  • Tables and figures should be included at the end of the manuscript; they should not be embedded in the body of the text. 
  • Permissions
  • If any copyrighted materials are used (music notation, illustrations, figures, and so forth), documentation verifying that the author has permission to use the material must be included. Please complete a Request for Permission to Reprint Material form.
  • Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission to publish any author-submitted photographs, videos, or audio examples. For minors, written permission of a parent or guardian is required before such images are published. Please complete an Audio/Visual Likeness Release form.
  • All references must include DOI or persistent URL information if available.
  • References must be formatted according to the style guide used in the preparation of the manuscript.  

Ethical Considerations

  • The Editor encourages authors to submit their manuscripts directly to the journal instead of engaging the services of unauthorized third parties. Authors should submit their own manuscripts directly to us (at  https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jrme ). Think. Check. Submit.  provides guidance on submitting your research to journals and avoiding the pitfalls of engaging third parties in this process. Any suspected or confirmed involvement of an unauthorized party in the submission or peer review of your manscript will result in immediate rejection of your submission.
  • Authors are expected to comply with APA ethical standards ( http://www.apa.org/ethics/code/index.aspx ) and institutional and federal regulations on the treatment of human subjects. Compliance with the institutional review process should be stated clearly in the manuscript, typically in the Methods section, by mention of study approval and/or the use of the informed consent process.
  • Authors are expected to comply with the NAfME Society for Research in Music Education “Research Publication and Presentation Code of Ethics” ( http://www.sagepub.com/upm-data/62972_Code_of_Ethics_SRME.pdf ) and the APA guidelines for Ethical and Legal Standards in Publishing ( Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th edition, 2019).
  • Submitting a manuscript indicates that it has not been published previously and is not currently submitted for publication elsewhere, either in its entirety or in part. Distribution on the Internet may be considered prior publication and may compromise the originality of the paper as a submission to the JRME. Authors must describe in what form and how a manuscript has been previously disseminated. Submission of an article based on a doctoral dissertation is permissible, and there will be a question during the submission process for the author to provide dissertation information. Posting of research papers on not-for-profit preprint servers such as SocArXiv and psyRxiv is allowable in cases where required or encouraged by granting agencies. Please contact the editor with questions regarding prior dissemination
  • Piecemeal publication, or publishing data from one study in multiple articles, is generally not acceptable. A study conceived as one study should be published as one study (e.g., it would not be appropriate to divide a mixed methods study into qualitative and quantitative articles; a study designed to investigate multiple research questions should not be divided into separate articles addressing different research questions, and so forth). A possible exception may be an historical study divided by topic or time period. Public datasets may be used in differing ways for multiple manuscripts, and articles comprising a multi-article type of doctoral dissertation may be published separately.
  • When in doubt about any aspect of the ethics of manuscript submission, the author should contact the Editor, who will make the final decision in consultation with editorial committee members. In all cases, authors should disclose any circumstances about which there may be questions.

Please address e-mail correspondence concerning editorial matters to Dr. Peter Miksza, Editor, Indiana University, [email protected] .
