Who Can Submit

Diagonal: An Ibero-American Music Review generally publishes materials related to all aspects of music pertaining to the Iberian Peninsula, the Americas, and Southeast Asia, as well as any other areas where the imprint of Iberian music culture is strong. Though most articles will be by ethnomusicologists and historical musicologists, relevant submissions from scholars in any discipline are encouraged. The editors reserve the right to determine the suitability of submissions. Diagonal does not have article submission charges or article processing charges. For additional information, please contact walter.clark@ucr.edu.

Removal

Once posted to a repository, a paper cannot generally be revised or removed.

However, we will remove publications under special circumstances, including in the case of submission errors, rights violations, or inappropriate content. Please be aware, however, that even after the removal of a text, a citation to the paper will remain in our system, along with a URL.

If you would like your work removed from eScholarship, please contact the administrator: walter.clark@ucr.edu.
