In this webinar, we interview Dr. Brian A Silvey, previous editor of the NAfME research journal Update: Applications of Research in Music Education overseen by SRME. He helps us to understand the unique elements and purposes of this journal, the submission process, and perspectives of the review. Finally, he provides advice to novice researchers for common errors and what makes an ideal manuscript for the journal.

Questions:

  1. What is the purpose of the Update: Applications of Research in Music Education journal and how is it different from other research journals in the field?
  2. What is a research-to-resource manuscript?
  3. Describe some common errors seen in manuscripts submitted to Update.
  4. How many issues does Update publish per year?
  5. What is the ideal market for Update readers?
