The objectives of Journal of the Association of Nigerian Musicologists (JANIM) are to develop musicology as a field through research and publication of highly standard articles; to enhance quality scholarship in Nigerian music and to promote Nigerian musicology internationally. JANIM’s reviewing policy includes double-blind review. Also, the review process takes about 6 to eight months and the Journal has statistics on its rejection rate. For No 3 edition it was 80% while for No 4 edition it was 75%. This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. This is an annual publication
