British Journal of Music Therapy
The British Journal of Music Therapy (BJMT) is a peer-reviewed journal for music therapists and other professionals interested in all aspects of music therapy.
The BJMT publishes original articles or essays that have direct relevance to the field of music therapy.
A variety of perspectives and approaches is encouraged in papers which may be concerned with:
Research studies
Theoretical or philosophical papers
Assessment and treatment programmes, including those involving other disciplines, e.g. neurology
Music therapy within multidisciplinary programmes of treatment
Case studies illustrating a particular theoretical model or philosophical perspective
Professional or political issues, e.g. training, employment or ethical issues
Historical reviews
Other aspects of music (ethnological, psychological, etc.) if relevance to the theory and practice of music therapy is made clear
The Editors will consider full-length articles (3,500-6,000 words) for publication but also shorter less formal contributions such as essays, case studies and responses to articles. Dissertations and theses may form the basis for an article but will always require significant rewriting for a journal audience.
The journal also welcomes reviews of published material (1,500-3,500 words) such as books, CDs and videos.
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
