Scope

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 cross-culturally. 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 and/or analysis of archived or published texts of known provenance. Texts should be treated in their social, cultural, ethnographic, and/or historical contexts. Papers should also engage with the scholarly literature in folklore or ethnomusicology. In addition to regular articles, we also have the following occasional departments: -Encounters with Folklore: briefer accounts of folkloric or ethnomusicological traditions that have not been widely documented before. 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.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years.
