What is scholarly publication?

Indexes international music publications in over 500 scholarly journals and in more than 100 languages, published since 1967.
Music Index Online

Project MUSE
Full-text journal articles in the humanities and social sciences, published from 1997 to present.
JSTOR
Full-text articles from back issues of more than 35 music journals. Because this is an "archival" database, coverage begins with volume 1 of each journal, but recent issues (latest 3–5 years) are not available within JSTOR.
