General Information
The South Central Music Bulletin (SCMB) is a refereed, purely electronic journal
and newsletter of the CMS South Central Chapter. SCMB invites the submission
of articles on all aspects of music and music research. We especially encourage
articles on teaching music at the college / university level and on all aspects
of the musical life in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Length of Contributions
There is no limit for the length of contributions.
Submission
SCMB does not accept paper copies of contributions. All submissions are to be
e-mailed in Rich Text Format or Word Format to the editor. For other formats, authors should
contact the editor. From the Spring 2006 issue on, the submission deadlines are February 10 (for the Spring issue, to be published in April) and August 10 (for the Fall issue, to be published in October).
Peer-Review Process
Members of SCMB's Review Board will judge contributions on originality, relevance,
interest to a diverse audience, and clarity of writing. The author of an accepted
manuscript may be asked to revise the article.
Style
In accordance with the guidelines given in the Chicago Manual of Style (14th
edition, chapter 16), SCMB uses the author-date system of citation. For additional
explanations, SCMB uses footnotes (since vol. III, no. 1). For the style of bibliographies, authors should consult
any article in the latest issue of SCMB. Long musical examples and complex diagrams
or charts should be avoided. Before submission, authors must obtain permission
to reproduce any copyrighted material.
Contributions are accepted with the understanding that the editor may revise
them for greater conciseness, clarity, and conformity with SCMB's style. Manuscripts
are refereed, and authors are sent proofs (via e-mail only) before publication,
to which authors need to reply within seven days.
