Musicae Scientiae (MS)

Musicae Scientiae is a peer-reviewed international academic journal dedicated to advancing rigorous research in music psychology and the cognitive sciences of music. Established in 1997, this journal publishes a broad range of empirical, theoretical, and critical articles that deepen understanding of how humans experience and process music — including perception, cognition, representation, and generation of musical phenomena. Its interdisciplinary scope spans music psychology, cognitive science, empirical musicology, sociology, music education, artificial intelligence applications in music cognition, and music theory, making it a central platform for research that connects psychological, behavioral, and cultural perspectives on musical experience. The journal emphasizes both empirical studies (including experimental research, replication studies, and meta-analyses) and conceptual contributions that address foundational questions about how music impacts perception, thought, emotion, and social interaction. As the official journal of the European Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music (ESCOM), Musicae Scientiae fosters interdisciplinary dialogue among researchers worldwide and supports scientific advances that inform education, therapy, performance, technology design, and theoretical models of music cognition. Its quarterly publication rhythm ensures a steady flow of high-quality research, and it is indexed in key databases including the Social Sciences Citation Index and Arts & Humanities Citation Index.
