Musikk og tradisjon / Music and Tradition
Music and Tradition is an annual peer-reviewed open-access journal for research on traditional music and dance in the Nordic countries. Although the main topic is Norwegian Traditional music and dance, the journal also welcomes articles on related topics in all the Scandinavian Languages and in English. The articles may discuss theoretical issues or draw on empirical case studies, be historically oriented or embrace the various expressions of traditional music and dance in our contemporary society. The journal is published by Norsk folkemusikklag, the Norwegian National Committee of the International Council for Traditional Music. In addition to articles, the journal also publishes book reviews, conference reports and abstracts from doctoral dissertations and master theses. The journal uses doubled-blind peer review for articles.
