All references must include DOI or persistent URL information if available.
References must be formatted according to the style guide used in the preparation of the manuscript.

Ethical Considerations

The Editor encourages authors to submit their manuscripts directly to the journal instead of engaging the services of unauthorized third parties. Authors should submit their own manuscripts directly to us (at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jrme ). Think. Check. Submit. provides guidance on submitting your research to journals and avoiding the pitfalls of engaging third parties in this process. Any suspected or confirmed involvement of an unauthorized party in the submission or peer review of your manscript will result in immediate rejection of your submission.
Authors are expected to comply with APA ethical standards ( http://www.apa.org/ethics/code/index.aspx ) and institutional and federal regulations on the treatment of human subjects. Compliance with the institutional review process should be stated clearly in the manuscript, typically in the Methods section, by mention of study approval and/or the use of the informed consent process.
Authors are expected to comply with the NAfME Society for Research in Music Education “Research Publication and Presentation Code of Ethics” ( http://www.sagepub.com/upm-data/62972_Code_of_Ethics_SRME.pdf ) and the APA guidelines for Ethical and Legal Standards in Publishing ( Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th edition, 2019).
Submitting a manuscript indicates that it has not been published previously and is not currently submitted for publication elsewhere, either in its entirety or in part. Distribution on the Internet may be considered prior publication and may compromise the originality of the paper as a submission to the JRME. Authors must describe in what form and how a manuscript has been previously disseminated. Submission of an article based on a doctoral dissertation is permissible, and there will be a question during the submission process for the author to provide dissertation information. Posting of research papers on not-for-profit preprint servers such as SocArXiv and psyRxiv is allowable in cases where required or encouraged by granting agencies. Please contact the editor with questions regarding prior dissemination
Piecemeal publication, or publishing data from one study in multiple articles, is generally not acceptable. A study conceived as one study should be published as one study (e.g., it would not be appropriate to divide a mixed methods study into qualitative and quantitative articles; a study designed to investigate multiple research questions should not be divided into separate articles addressing different research questions, and so forth). A possible exception may be an historical study divided by topic or time period. Public datasets may be used in differing ways for multiple manuscripts, and articles comprising a multi-article type of doctoral dissertation may be published separately.
When in doubt about any aspect of the ethics of manuscript submission, the author should contact the Editor, who will make the final decision in consultation with editorial committee members. In all cases, authors should disclose any circumstances about which there may be questions.

Please address e-mail correspondence concerning editorial matters to Dr. Peter Miksza, Editor, Indiana University, [email protected] .

As part of our commitment to ensuring an ethical, transparent and fair peer review process Sage is a supporting member of ORCID, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID . ORCID provides a unique and persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from every other researcher, even those who share the same name, and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between researchers and their professional activities, ensuring that their work is recognized.

The collection of ORCID iDs from corresponding authors is now part of the submission process of this journal. If you already have an ORCID iD you will be asked to associate that to your submission during the online submission process. If you or any co-authors do not have an ORCID iD associated with your account in the submission system, but wish to do so, please ensure this is validated in the peer review system before acceptance. It takes seconds to do: log in at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jrme , click your name at the top of the screen and then "email/name" to edit your account. Click the relevant ORCID link, sign into your ORCID account, and our systems will be automatically updated. Your ORCID iD will become part of your accepted publication’s metadata, making your work attributable to you and only you. Any future papers associated with this account in the submission system will automatically link your ORCID iD. And, your ORCID iD will be published with your article so that fellow researchers reading your work can link to your ORCID profile and from there link to your other publications.

If you do not already have an ORCID iD please follow this link to create one or visit our ORCID homepage to learn more.

Information

How to publish in this journal

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Evolution of the number of published documents. All types of documents are considered, including citable and non citable documents.

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Evolution of the total number of citations and journal's self-citations received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. Journal Self-citation is defined as the number of citation from a journal citing article to articles published by the same journal.

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.

International Collaboration accounts for the articles that have been produced by researchers from several countries. The chart shows the ratio of a journal's documents signed by researchers from more than one country; that is including more than one country address.

Not every article in a journal is considered primary research and therefore "citable", this chart shows the ratio of a journal's articles including substantial research (research articles, conference papers and reviews) in three year windows vs. those documents other than research articles, reviews and conference papers.

Ratio of a journal's items, grouped in three years windows, that have been cited at least once vs. those not cited during the following year.

Evolution of the percentage of female authors.

Evolution of the number of documents cited by public policy documents according to Overton database.

Evoution of the number of documents related to Sustainable Development Goals defined by United Nations. Available from 2018 onwards.

1. What do we publish?

1.1 Aims & Scope

Before submitting your manuscript to Research Studies in Music Education , please ensure you have read the Aims & Scope .

1.2 Article Types

Manuscripts should be up to 6000 words in length, excluding Abstract and reference list.

RSME publishes two types of articles: original research articles , and perspectives articles. All articles are double blind peer refereed, and expected to contribute something significant and novel to the field.

Research papers published by RSME follow the format of a standard journal article, and must be based on empirical research (all research methodologies are welcome).

The Perspectives Series is a scholarly forum for authors to present ideas and perspectives in music education. Perspectives may seek to engender debate from a personal values position or stake a claim on a new methodological, philosophical or pragmatic ‘space’.

1.3 Writing your paper

The Sage Author Gateway has some general advice and on how to get published , plus links to further resources. Sage Author Services also offers authors a variety of ways to improve and enhance their article including English language editing, plagiarism detection, and video abstract and infographic preparation.

1.3.1 Make your article discoverable

When writing up your paper, think about how you can make it discoverable. The title, keywords and abstract are key to ensuring readers find your article through search engines such as Google. For information and guidance on how best to title your article, write your abstract and select your keywords, have a look at this page on the Gateway: How to Help Readers Find Your Article Online .

2. Editorial policies

2.1 Peer review policy

RSME operates a strictly anonymous peer review process in which the reviewer’s name is withheld from the author and, the author’s name from the reviewer. The reviewer may at their own discretion opt to reveal their name to the author in their review but our standard policy practice is for both identities to remain concealed. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two referees.

Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two referees, who will recommend to the Editor whether a manuscript should be accepted, revised (major or minor revisions), or rejected. The Editor will make a decision on the manuscript based on the recommendations from the expert referees. Please note that the Editor’s decision on a manuscript will be final. Authors of manuscripts given a minor or major revision decision are invited to submit their revised manuscript via the journal’s submission site. The responsibility for submitting the revised manuscript lies with the corresponding author.”

2.2 Authorship

All parties who have made a substantive contribution to the article should be listed as authors. Principal authorship, authorship order, and other publication credits should be based on the relative scientific or professional contributions of the individuals involved, regardless of their status. A student is usually listed as principal author on any multiple-authored publication that substantially derives from the student’s dissertation or thesis.

Please note that AI chatbots, for example ChatGPT, should not be listed as authors. For more information see the policy on Use of ChatGPT and generative AI tools .

Research Studies in Music Education is trialing the publication of CRediT author contribution statements. At submission stage, there will be the ability to list the roles that each author was responsible for. Please refer to the CRediT Gateway page for more information. You should not include an author contribution statement in your manuscript as this will be added at Production stage. This does not replace the Acknowledgements section.

2.3 Acknowledgements

All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an Acknowledgements section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, or a department chair who provided only general support.

Please supply any personal acknowledgements separately to the main text to facilitate anonymous peer review.

2.3.1 Third party submissions

Where an individual who is not listed as an author submits a manuscript on behalf of the author(s), a statement must be included in the Acknowledgements section of the manuscript and in the accompanying cover letter. The statements must:

Disclose this type of editorial assistance – including the individual’s name, company and level of input
Identify any entities that paid for this assistance
Confirm that the listed authors have authorized the submission of their manuscript via third party and approved any statements or declarations, e.g. conflicting interests, funding, etc.

Where appropriate, Sage reserves the right to deny consideration to manuscripts submitted by a third party rather than by the authors themselves .

2.3.2 Writing assistance

Individuals who provided writing assistance, e.g. from a specialist communications company, do not qualify as authors and so should be included in the Acknowledgements section. Authors must disclose any writing assistance – including the individual’s name, company and level of input – and identify the entity that paid for this assistance”).

It is not necessary to disclose use of language polishing services.

2.4 Funding

Research Studies in Music Education requires all authors to acknowledge their funding in a consistent fashion under a separate heading. Please visit the Funding Acknowledgements page on the Sage Journal Author Gateway to confirm the format of the acknowledgment text in the event of funding, or state that: This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.

2.5 Declaration of conflicting interests

Research Studies in Music Education encourages authors to include a declaration of any conflicting interests and recommends you review the good practice guidelines on the Sage Journal Author Gateway .

2.6 'Research ethics and participant consent'

Ethical approval statement

Upon submission, authors will be asked to state the relevant ethics committee or institutional review board provided (or waived) approval. Please ensure that you have provided the full name and institution of the review committee, in addition to the approval number. Where exemption from ethics approval has been granted by an appropriate body, this should be specified and the reason for exemption should be provided. Manuscripts should include statements that provide a clear explanation as to why ethics approval and/or informed consent was not sought for a given study in a specific country or region.

Informed consent

Authors are required to state in the methods section whether participants provided informed consent (for inclusion, collection/use of data or samples, and/or publication, as applicable) and whether the consent was written or verbal.

2.7 Redundant publication

The Editors of Research Studies in Music Education ask authors to declare if any data reported in their submission have been published previously wholly or in part. For example: the reanalysis of a previously published dataset by a different set of authors would need to be declared. The publication of multiple articles using the same dataset with somewhat related outcomes could be considered inappropriate. Within the cover letter and methods section, authors should declare if datasets or participants reported in their submission overlap with any prior published work to help a thorough Editorial assessment of the study.

2.8 Research Data

The journal is committed to facilitating openness, transparency and reproducibility of research, and has the following research data sharing policy. For more information, including FAQs please visit the Sage Research Data policy pages .

Subject to appropriate ethical and legal considerations, authors are encouraged to:

share your research data in a relevant public data repository
include a data availability statement linking to your data. If it is not possible to share your data, we encourage you to consider using the statement to explain why it cannot be shared.
cite this data in your research

Journal of Research in Music Education April 2024 cover

NAfME Research Publication/ Presentation Code of Ethics

This version of the Code of Ethics was adopted in May 2006. This material is based on the following sources: Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th ed. (Washington, DC: APA, 2001); and Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (APA, 2000), found at www.apa.org/ethics .

Multiple submissions. An author must not submit the same manuscript for simultaneous consideration by two or more journals. If a manuscript is rejected by one journal, an author may then submit it to another journal.
Duplicate publication. An author must not submit a manuscript published in whole or in substantial part in another journal or published work. Exceptions may be made for previous publication (a) in a periodical with limited circulation or availability (e.g., a government agency report) or (b) in an abstracted form (e.g., a convention proceedings). Any prior publication should be noted and referenced in the manuscript, and the author must inform the editor of the existence of any similar manuscripts that have already been published or submitted for publication or that may be submitted for concurrent consideration to the journal or elsewhere.
Piecemeal publication. Investigators who engage in systematic programs of research report their results from time to time as significant portions of their programs are completed. This is both legitimate and inevitable in research programs that are on very large scales or of several years’ duration. In contrast to this kind of publication, articles are received in which a single investigation has been broken up into separate manuscripts submitted seriatim. Authors are obligated to present work parsimoniously and as completely as possible. Data that can be meaningfully combined within a single publication should be presented together. Authors who wish to divide reports of studies into more than one article should inform the editor.
Authorship. Authorship is reserved to those who make major contributions to the research. Credit is assigned to those who have contributed to a publication in proportion to their professional contributions. Major contributions of a professional character made by several individuals to a common project are recognized by joint authorship, with the individual who made the principal contribution listed first. Minor contributions of a professional character and extensive clerical or similar assistance may be acknowledged in endnotes or in an introductory statement. Acknowledgment through specific citations is made for unpublished as well as published material that has directly influenced the research or writing. Individuals who compile and edit material of others for publication publish the material in the name of the originating group, if appropriate, with their own names appearing as chairperson or editor. All contributors are to be acknowledged and named.
Copyright. Once an article is accepted, an author transfers literary rights on the published article to the publishing organization (in this case, NAfME) so that the author and the association are protected from misuse of copyright material. An article will not be published until the author’s signed copyright transfer has been received by the national office of the publishing organization. Contributors are responsible for obtaining copyright clearance on illustrations, figures, or lengthy quotes that have been published elsewhere.
Conference presentation. Papers submitted for presentation via any format (e.g., posters, paper-reading sessions) should not have been presented at another major conference. If the data have been presented in whole or substantive part in any forum, in print, or at previous research sessions, a statement specifying particulars of the above must be included with the submission.
Ethical conduct and institutional review compliance. Authors are expected to comply with APA ethical standards ( www.apa.org/ethics/code2002.html ) and institutional and federal regulations on the treatment of human subjects.

Note: Any violation of the Code of Ethics will result in immediate rejection of the manuscript/paper, without further consideration.

Use of digital audio workstations in music education to develop creative thinking and increase self-efficacy

Published: 11 May 2024

Gai Yanan 1

Digital audio workstations can be used to develop creative thinking in music students while practicing music production. This research aimed to study the effectiveness of the Pyramix software for the development of creative thinking and musical self-efficacy of Chinese music students. It enrolled 200 students with a mean age of 21.8 years. The effectiveness was determined through the comparison of pre-and post-test results in the experimental and control groups. Self-report measures were employed in the study: the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (TTCT) for assessing creative thinking and the Musical Performance Self-Efficacy Scale (MPSES) for evaluating musical self-efficacy. In the experimental group, there was an increase in creative thinking in all five subscales during the post-test: originality, elaboration, abstractness, and resistance to premature completion increased by 19.26%, 18.23%, 11.04%, 10.40%, and 15.09%, respectively. The differences were significant and confirmed the effectiveness of using stations to develop creative thinking. However, their use did not have a positive effect on musical self-efficacy in terms of mastery experience, vicarious experience, and verbal/social persuasion. Intergroup differences were not significant; only the physiological state significantly increased by 8.72. This research is significant because it gives information on the effect of digital audio workstations in music education on the development of students’ creative-thinking skills through the contribution to existing music knowledge and literature. The findings may be of interest to researchers and educational institution managers, who are interested in enhancing creativity skills.
