Bulletin of the ICTM

The Bulletin of the International Council for Traditional Music (ISSN: 0739-1390) carries news from the world of ethnomusicology, a calendar of upcoming events, and reports from ICTM Study Groups and ICTM National and Regional Representatives. 

Editor: Carlos Yoder.

The Bulletin was established in 1948 as the Bulletin of the International Folk Music Council. It is published in April and October each year, mainly in English but with occasional articles in other languages. The Bulletin is made available online at this website, and is also sent directly to ICTM members and institutional subscribers via e-mail. It is protected by a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 3.0 Unported License

The latest issue of the Bulletin is Vol. 120 (April 2012), which you can download using this link.

Submissions

All ICTM National and Regional Representatives as well as  Study Group Chairs should submit articles (reports, announcements, calls for papers, etc.) on a regular basis.

Individual ICTM members should direct relevant announcements or reports on activities to their national or regional representative or Study Group Chair. ICTM members residing in countries with no official ICTM representation may submit reports and announcements directly to the Editor at bulletin-editor@ictmusic.org.

The Bulletin is primarily a means for communicating ICTM information. However, the Editor will consider including news from international organisations which may be of interest to ICTM members, giving priority to UNESCO affiliated organisations. 

Articles will be edited, when necessary, without notification.

The submission deadline for the April issue is March 15, for the October issue is September 15.

All submissions should be sent via e-mail to bulletin-editor@ictmusic.org, in any of the following formats: Apple Pages, Microsoft Word, Rich Text Format (RTF), OpenOffice.org (ODT).
