The Res Musica yearbook aims to provide a wide forum for published articles on Estonian musicology. Comprising articles written by an international circle of scholars, it will cover all areas of musicological research.
The musicological yearbook is published by the Estonian Musicological Society (EMS) and the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre (EAMT). Before acceptance for publication, all articles are peer-reviewed by scholars active in appropriate areas of academic research.
Issues are focused on different fields of musicology rotationally and they are edited by members of editorial board in turn.
