Musicology and Ethnomusicology

• Conferences

• Publishing

• Granting

Conferences

Currently have (see below):

• Statistics on non-affiliated paper presentations at the three major musicology conferences (including SMT when inextricable from large data)

Need:

• Statistics on IASPM and other music conferences, like Jazz-specific conferences
• Would ideally like any possible statistics on amount of non-affiliated scholars that submit papers to conferences

Number of independent/non-affiliated scholars presenting papers at conferences (see note):

Analyzing number of TT and non-affiliated and North American authors

Breakdown of authors, combined

  pie
  "Tenured or TT (517/641)" : 517
  "No affiliation, non-PhD (94/641)" : 94
  "Institutional affiliation, non-TT (23/641)" : 23
  "PhD holder, no affiliation (7/641)" : 7

Key

Tenured or TT (517/641): 81%

No affiliation, non-PhD (94/641): 15%

Institutional affiliation, non-TT (23/641): 4%

PhD holder, no affiliation (7/641) : 1%

Looking for:

• Number of journal articles in the top journals published by non-affiliated scholars in the past 5 years
• Alternative publication methods both for non-affiliated and affiliated scholars

Granting

Looking for:

• Number of grant opportunities specifically for non-affiliated scholars
• Number of non-affiliated scholars who are awarded the major music association-funded grants
• Number of non-affiliated scholars who are awarded state-wide humanities funded grants
• Number of non-affiliated scholars who are awarded federal humanities and arts funded grants
