Author Guidelines

Carefully read the submission guidelines as follows:

A. Manuscripts

We invite theoretical, methodological, applied, and empirical articles exploring the study of Gamelan, representing various methodological traditions (quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods) and disciplines (Gamelan Learning; Gamelan Organology; Gamelan and Digital Technology; Gamelan Neuroscience; Gamelan Psychology; Gamelan Anthropology; Gamelan Math; Gamelan Ethnography; Gamelan Sociology; Gamelan and Virtual Culture, etc.). Regardless of the type of article, methodological tradition, or disciplinary perspective, authors are expected to situate their work in the existing literature.

B. Expectations for Authors

Prior to submitting an article, please make sure that your article is: (a) adequately situated in the Gamelan studies literature; (b) meets the appropriate word limit, (c) has been carefully proofread; and (d) adheres to IEEE Style. All work must be original and cannot have been published or be under review elsewhere. Portions of text that are identical or near-identical to previously published work by authors should be properly noted and cited, and, if necessary, permission to reproduce the text from the publisher needs to be obtained in advance of submitting the article.

C. Stylistic Conventions

All articles are expected to adhere to the stylistic conventions of IEEE Style. Articles should conform to the standards of spelling, grammar, and punctuation for British English and will be converted accordingly during the editorial process.

D. Review process

Once a manuscript has been submitted, it will undergo a preliminary review from the managing editor (to assess fit and adherence to the journal’s guidelines). The paper will then be assigned to the editor and an associate editor who will provide an additional assessment of fit. Papers that fail to adhere to the journal’s guidelines or lack fit based on the preliminary review of the editor and/or associate editor will be rejected. If a paper passes preliminary review, it will then be assigned to at least two reviewers for double-blind review. Authors invited to engage in a revision will be provided with 30 days to submit their revision; otherwise, the paper may be automatically rejected. Authors can request an extension from the Associate Editor managing the paper. CTRA typically provides no more than two rounds of review for papers. If a final decision (accept/reject) has not been made after the first round, a final decision (accept/reject) will be rendered after the second round.

E. Corrections and Final Copy

If the manuscript is accepted for publication, a copy of the final form of the paper in PDF is requested. Corrections should be clearly identified and returned within five working days of receipt. Major alterations cannot be accepted. The author is required to submit a statement that the submitted paper has not been published or approved for publishing elsewhere. The editors will not return submitted materials to the authors. The authors will not receive gratification for publishing their papers. Papers that do not fulfil basic linguistic correctness requirements will not be accepted.

F. General Requirements

  1. Written in English.

Licensing for Data Publication

Gamelan uses a variety of waivers and licenses that are specifically designed for and appropriate for the treatment of data:

Other data publishing licenses may be allowed as exceptions (subject to approval by the editor on a case-by-case basis) and should be justified with a written statement from the author, which will be published with the article.

Open Data and Software Publishing and Sharing

The journal strives to maximize the replicability of the research published in it. Authors are thus required to share all data, code, or protocols underlying the research reported in their articles. Exceptions are permitted but have to be justified in a written public statement accompanying the article.

Datasets and software should be deposited and permanently archived in appropriate, trusted, general, or domain-specific repositories (please consult http://service.re3data.org and software repositories such as GitHub, GitLab, Bioinformatics.org, or equivalent). The associated persistent identifiers (e.g., DOI, or others) of the dataset(s) must be included in the data or software resources section of the article. Reference(s) to datasets and software should also be included in the reference list of the material with DOIs (where available). Where no domain-specific data repository exists, authors should deposit their datasets in a general repository such as ZENODO, Dryad, Dataverse, or others.

Small data may also be published as data files or packages supplementary to a research article. However, the authors should prefer, in all cases, a deposition in data repositories.
