MusPed:Research is a peer-reviewed series of scholarly publications within the field of music pedagogy. The series stems from the cross-disciplinary and multi-institutional research network Musikkpedagogikk i utvikling (MiU) [Music Pedagogy in Development] – established by NTNU Department of Teacher Education, NTNU Department of Music, Nord University, and Queen Maud University College of Early Childhood Education – and is published by Cappelen Damm Forsking, the division for research publishing within Cappelen Damm Akademisk.

The series is comprised of anthologies and monographs, all published open access, the first of which was released in October, 2020. Click here to see forthcoming titles.
MusPed:Research publishes research on topics within music pedagogy. In particular, specific music pedagogical topics and questions will be considered, as well as topics in the intersection between disciplines, subject areas and research areas that are usually kept apart in educational and research contexts, yet are intertwined elements in music educational practices in early childhood institutions, schools, higher education and society at large. The series aims to contribute to new knowledge across alignments and traditions, and to inspire dialogue between researchers and educators from different cultures within the broad landscape of music education.
MusPed:Research has an open submission policy and welcomes ideas for scholarly anthologies and monographs on music pedagogical issues. Proposals will be assessed by the series’ Editorial Advisory Board, and one of the Board’s members can be asked to act as co-editor on accepted publications. All publications will be subject to double blind peer review. For further practical information, please see the series’ Requirements and Standards for Project Descriptions and Manuscript Preparation.
All publications in the MusPed:Research series are published with the CC BY license.

The series is published by Cappelen Damm Forsking, the division for research publishing within Cappelen Damm Akademisk. All content is published open access.
The series is open to all submissions of proposals and completed manuscripts.
Proposals should be sent at an early stage in the writing process, via email to the editor, with a project description as an attachment. If the project description is accepted, the manuscript, when completed, should be sent via email to the editor.
MusPed:Research practices ‘double-blind’ peer review, where neither referees nor authors are informed of one another’s identities. Prior to submission to the peer-review process, manuscripts are evaluated by the editor and advisory board, and once the peer-review process is concluded, the final decision regarding publication rests with the responsible editor.
The series publishes manuscripts in the Scandinavian languages and English. Anthologies comprised of articles in different languages are permitted. All manuscript submissions must be prepared in accordance with the standards set forth in the series’ Author Guidelines.
All MusPed:Research authors retain copyright and full publishing rights to their articles.
Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their articles, after publication, to personal and/or institutional websites and to archive their articles in institutional or funder repositories to insure even greater public access. Supplementary material should also be included when applicable. In addition, authors are permitted to post pre-print versions of their articles to institutional websites, repositories and similar (on the condition that all bibliographic information is also provided).
Publishing peer-reviewed articles in this series incurs an article processing charge (APC).
VAT (25%) will be added to customers within Norway and the European Union, except non-Norwegian organizations that provide their VAT-number.
The total sum will be charged to the author(s) after publication of their article.
