[Commlist] The Journal of Beatles Studies Call for Contributions: Criticism, historical and textual scholarship, legacy and influence

Tue May 07 14:00:30 GMT 2024





Liverpool University Press is delighted to announce a call for contributions for the sixth issue of /The Journal of Beatles Studies/. The journal aims to bridge the gap between the study of the Beatles across disciplines such as musicology, cultural studies, history, sociology, music and creative industries, and fan studies, providing an outlet for research undertaken to the very highest standards from around the world.

“An international, inclusive, interdisciplinary focal point for ideas, exchange and quality research”.

  * Holly Tessler and Paul Long, Co-Editors of /The Journal of Beatles
    Studies/

*A fully Open Access journal*

/The Journal of Beatles Studies/ is a fully Open Access journal, published in association with the University of Liverpool <https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/arts/>.

There is no Article Publishing Charge for authors and all articles are published under a CC-BY license <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/>. More information on publishing Open Access with Liverpool University Press can be found on our Publishing Open Access Journal Articles page <https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/pages/open-access-journals/>.

*Submit your research *

Without privileging any particular critical approaches, methodologies, or theories, the journal welcomes all contributions that throw light upon the Beatles, their works, world, in their time and through to the present day. In addition to publishing articles of original scholarship, the journal also offers performance and exhibition reviews covering productions from around the globe, reviews of recent books, blogs and podcasts as well as a dedicated section for critical debates and state-of-the-field surveys.

Articles can be on any aspect of the Beatles’ music, history or career, but should be written in English for a non-specialist readership, engage in critical scholarship and debate and be contextualised within an appropriately academic context. We particularly encourage contributions from writers from underrepresented groups including (but not limited to): women, people of colour, the Global South, the LGBTQI+ community and emerging scholars.
