*Call for Proposals*

*Deadline: April 26, 2024 (23:59 UTC)*


MusicID is pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications 
for our sixth Digital Research Fellowship. The fellowship is awarded to 
a scholar from any discipline and at any career level with a strong 
vision to undertake music, cultural, and/or digital humanities research.


MusicID is a platform that archives current and historical music 
industry data into a single, easy-to-use source. Incorporating more than 
5,000 charts spanning 74 countries, MusicID provides access to a wealth 
of music chart data, including from Billboard and the Official Charts 
Company dating back to 1944, contemporary statistics such as Spotify and 
Apple Music streams, and Shazam searches. It also offers built-in 
visualization tools which allow users to create and export customizable 
tables and graphs.

The fellowship is designed to support research using data about music 
charts and streaming statistics. MusicID can be used to explore new 
topics, provide data-driven insights, and/or corroborate or challenge 
existing understandings. Proposed studies may adopt historical, 
cultural, or industry perspectives, for example, and possible research 
topics include trends in popular music, patterns of consumption, 
marketing practices, reception histories, or platform conventions. 
Fellows are encouraged to demonstrate how they will benefit from access 
to the MusicID platform. You can read former winning proposals here 
<https://musicidhub.com/musicid-digital-research-fellowships>.


The recipient will receive $1,000 and access to the MusicID platform for 
one year. All other applicants will receive access to the platform for 
six months. The recipient will be asked to write a brief final report at 
the end of their fellowship year, describing the research they conducted 
and their findings.


To apply, send an anonymous research plan as a PDF to 
(fellowship /at/ academicrightspress.com) by 23:59 (UTC) April 26. Applications 
must be at most one A4 page in length, and written in English. Please 
include your name and any affiliation in your email, but not on the PDF. 
Submissions from academics in any kind of employment, independent 
scholars, and postgraduate students are all encouraged. Applicants from 
any country are welcome. The recipient will be chosen through a 
double-blind peer review process and notified in late May, followed 
shortly by a public announcement.
