Dear colleague

It is my pleasure to announce the inauguration and first publication of a new journal: the *Journal of the Society for Musicology in Ireland*, ISSN 1649-734X, online at http://www.musicologyireland.com/jsmi/ and http://www.music.ucc.ie/jsmi/

The first contents of the journal's first annual volume (2005) are now
available: click on one of the links above.

JSMI is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal, published exclusively online. Following the principles of open-access journals, its full-text articles and other content are entirely free to read online and to print out. To use the journal, all you have to do is register as a user at the journal's website.

Submissions to JSMI (full-length articles, short articles, reviews) are warmly invited from all interested scholars. For information on the journal's policies and advice on how to submit, see http://www.music.ucc.ie/jsmi/index.php/jsmi/about JSMI is intended to be a forum for both distinguished scholars and young musicologists, including postgraduate students, whether associated with Ireland or not. It is the policy of the journal (as, indeed, it is of the Society for Musicology in
Ireland) to embrace all traditions and disciplines of musicology, old and new, including ethnomusicology and critical musicology. Neither readers nor authors are required to be members of SMI (the Society for Musicology in Ireland), though they are of course most welcome to join: see http://www.musicologyireland.com/

Enquiries about JSMI may be directed to me at p.everett@ucc.ie

With best wishes
