Scope/Description:

The study of folklore sometimes called folkloristics has strong ties to the social sciences the humanities and the arts and is often interdisciplinary in its approach to the documentation analysis interpretation and presentation of its subject matter. Generally folklorists are concerned with culture communicated by informal means including oral tradition material culture and customary processes. Ethnomusicology is the study of music of all types and from all cultures exploring the role of music in human life analyzing relationships between music and culture and studying music crossculturally.The Journal of Folklore Research welcomes theoretical and comparative studies on any aspect of folklore folklife and ethnomusicology. Papers should be based on field observation andor analysis of archived or published texts of known provenance. Texts should be treated in their social cultural ethnographic andor historical contexts.

Ordinarily encounters are ethnographically rich accounts based in fieldwork.Fieldwork and Methodology Notes for shorter pieces that engage with issues and problems in folkloristic and ethnomusicological methodology or practice.Translations articles originally published elsewhere but translated into English.

Impact Factor

Impact factor (IF) is a scientometric factor based on the yearly average number of citations on articles published by a particular journal in the last two years. A journal impact factor is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field. Find out more: What is a good impact factor?


III. Other Science Influence Indicators

Any impact factor or scientometric indicator alone will not give you the full picture of a science journal. There are also other factors such as H-Index, Self-Citation Ratio, SJR, SNIP, etc. Researchers may also consider the practical aspect of a journal such as publication fees, acceptance rate, review speed.
