The Journal of Seventeenth-Century Music
Positioning the references: References may appear either at the right-hand side or at the foot of the screen. Readers can change the position of the references by changing the width of the window. To change the width, either drag the edge of the window or adjust the magnification (Ctrl+ or Ctrl- on PC, Cmd+ or Cmd- on Macintosh).
Reading the references: Use the note numerals to move back and forth between the main text and the references. The links work in both directions. The linked object will move to the top of its frame.
Opening linked files: In recent issues of JSCM, most examples, figures, and tables, along with their captions, open as overlays, covering the text until they are closed. Nevertheless, readers have choices. In most browsers, by right-clicking the hyperlink (PC or Macintosh) or control-clicking it (Macintosh), you can access a menu that will give you the option of opening the linked file (without its caption) in a new tab, or even in a new window that can be resized and moved at will.
Printing JSCM articles: Use the “print” link on the page or your browser’s print function to open a print dialog for the main text and endnotes. To print a linked file (e.g., an example or figure), either use the “print” command on the overlay or open the item in a new tab (see above).
Items appearing in JSCM may be saved and stored in electronic or paper form and may be shared among individuals for all non-commercial purposes. For a summary of the Journal's open-access license, see the footer to the homepage, https://sscm-jscm.org. Commercial redistribution of an item published in JSCM requires prior, written permission from the Editor-in-Chief, and must include the following information:
This item appeared in the Journal of Seventeenth Century Music (https://sscm-jscm.org/) [volume, no. (year)], under a CC BY-NC-ND license, and it is republished here with permission.
Libraries may archive complete issues or selected articles for public access, in electronic or paper form, so long as no access fee is charged. Exceptions to this requirement must be approved in writing by the Editor-in-Chief of JSCM.
Citations of information published in JSCM should include the paragraph number and the URL. The content of an article in JSCM is stable once it is published (although subsequent communications about it are noted and linked at the end of the original article); therefore, the date of access is optional in a citation.
We offer the following as a model:

The Editors Speak: A Documentary Video
Like many similar enterprises, JSCM relies on the willingness of volunteers to roll up their sleeves and pitch in. Some work behind the scenes, others more visibly. For a full list of past and present personnel involved in publishing the Journal, see this document (which is linked to the Journal’s homepage). Not mentioned there: the countless anonymous peer reviewers, whose expertise and generosity are incalculable.
In honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary, the editorial board proposed a brief video featuring the four individuals who have led the enterprise since its inception: the past and present editors-in-chief of JSCM.
In our contributions to the video, it is perhaps not surprising that all four of us deal in one way or another with the Journal’s electronic medium: the special opportunities and challenges of internet publishing. Kerala Snyder recalls teaching herself HTML coding literally overnight, while Bruce Gustafson recounts his invention of the Instrumenta series. Kelley Harness conquered a difficult search engine, and I dealt with the fallout from an electronic overhaul. In light of the challenges, our choice of accompanying music for the video is playful: the prelude, interludes, and postlude to the duet that opens Act 4 of Lully’s Armide, where the two knights sent to rescue Renaud face monsters and open chasms in the desert.[1] Like the knights, we editors cope with obstacles as we stay focused on our goal—in our case, the clear presentation of high-quality scholarly studies of seventeenth-century music.
