Music Article Sources

Academic journals present new research or analysis written by scholars and reviewed by scholars about a narrow topic or specific case study, and their intended audience is other scholars and practitioners.

Music Book Sources

Sometimes scholars get together to tackle a subject, breaking it apart into article-length chapters written by experts on that specific subtopic. We call those books anthologies, and they can be very helpful in choosing a rabbit hole, so to speak. And since books tend to be published for a broader audience than journals, they can be easier to approach than articles.
