Who Can Submit?
Anyone may submit an original article to be considered for publication in Verdi Forum provided he or she owns the copyright to the work being submitted or is authorized by the copyright owner or owners to submit the article. Authors are the initial owners of the copyrights to their works (an exception in the non-academic world to this might exist if the authors have, as a condition of employment, agreed to transfer copyright to their employer).
General Submission Rules
The Verdi Forum invites the submission of articles on all aspects of music and culture related to the life and works of Giuseppe Verdi. The editors welcome not only traditional source, analytical, interpretive, and performance practice studies but also interdisciplinary contributions. The journal considers both short and lengthy studies and welcomes submissions from scholars and practitioners at all career stages.
Submissions to Verdi Forum should be made electronically (by e-mail in a word-processing file readable by Microsoft Word for Windows); if the proposed article contains musical examples, diagrams, or other visual material, these are to be sent as PDF files and in paper copies to the editor (see below). Bibliographic citations should follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th ed. All submissions should include full contact information, including an e-mail address.
The editors will also be happy to receive offers to review books, editions, and recordings of exceptional historic or aesthetic interest. Questions and submissions should be directed to the editor, Roberta Montemorra Marvin (University of Iowa, 2638 Princeton Road, Iowa City, Iowa 52245 USA)
