The journal is a premier peer-reviewed open-access bi-annual platform dedicated to advancing choreographic research, performance studies, ethnomusicology, and evidence-based musical and performative analysis. The journal bridges cross-cultural humanities with empirical systems, providing a rapid portal for peer-validated advancements in the performing arts.
The core objective is to accelerate the mapping and critical preservation of physical and sonic arts, bridging classical ethnographic approaches with computational motion capture, digital tracking, and evidence-based cognitive frameworks.
Core Scope Horizons
The journal welcomes high-quality original research manuscripts, deep comprehensive reviews, performative survey frameworks, and systematic case evaluations across the following core themes:
Advanced Choreographic Frameworks
Research on labanotation, kinetic preservation models, contemporary movement aesthetics, somatic composition patterns, and spatial performance design workflows.
Musicological & Ethnomusicological Syntheses
Investigations into historical musicology, acoustic archaeology, structural composition systems, traditional music preservation models, and cultural music history.
Performative Developments & Cultural Analysis
Cross-disciplinary studies tracking theatrical evolution, physical embodiment parameters, ritual expressions, identity representation, and performance anthropology.
Evidence-Based Performing Arts Technology
Studies mapping digital notation tools, motion-capture analytics, psychoacoustics, cognitive responses to sound/rhythm architectures, and modern digital archiving systems.
Journal Objectives
- To maintain a dependable bi-annual publishing track that reduces the waiting period between peer acceptance and open online discovery.
- To foster the deployment of cutting-edge computational data layouts alongside classic qualitative fine arts methodologies.
- To bridge theoretical fine arts research directly with active somatic therapies, digital asset preservation, and global cultural mapping frameworks.
- To provide permanent, worldwide open visibility to authors under Creative Commons (CC BY 4.0) sharing structures.
Scope Exclusions
- Manuscripts containing personal opinions, reviews of single popular events, or journalistic commentary that lacks deep academic research parameters.
- Drafts presenting audio or kinetic claims that do not demonstrate clear data metrics, experimental tracking patterns, or robust bibliographic citation anchoring.
- Submissions displaying a text duplication metric above the journal's baseline plagiarism check filter (15%).
Peer Curation and Quality Standards
Operating on a persistent bi-annual cycle, every manuscript undergoes a rigorous double-blind evaluation phase handled by matching international musicology, ethnomusicology, and dance curation experts. To ensure maximum analytical authority, authors must ensure all accompanying figures, scores, kinetic tracking layouts, and data grids are presented with clean legibility, completely satisfying international reproducibility benchmarks.
Important Note for Submitting Authors
Submission gateways remain open across all calendar cycles via our dashboard portal. Authors are requested to adjust their drafts matching our official document template files strictly before submission to guarantee a seamless desk screening phase.
