Music Theory Online is peer reviewed and open access, and has been in continuous publication since 1993. If you value MTO and other free SMT services, please take a few moments to join SMT. Membership grants a number of benefits which non-members do not enjoy.
The Society for Music Theory also publishes the print journal Music Theory Spectrum, which is included in SMT membership.
The expectations are that all reviews for SMT publications will be respectful, constructive, expert, and timely. Because referees often serve as mentors for less experienced scholars, it is paramount that readers avoid tone and language that is condescending, sarcastic, pejorative, bullying, or uncivil.
