The Journal of Beatles Studies invites applications for Editorial Board members. We welcome applications from academics and researchers globally, particularly encouraging those from under-represented groups and those who might aid in reaching beyond the Anglophone world.

The journal

Published twice a year in association with the University of Liverpool, The Journal of Beatles Studies is an Open Access journal, co-edited by Holly Tessler (University of Liverpool) and Paul Long (Monash University).

It is the first journal to establish The Beatles as a dedicated object of academic research, and publishes peer reviewed, original, rigorously researched essays, notes, as well as book and media reviews.

The journal aims are: to provide a voice to new and emerging research locating the Beatles in new contexts, groups and communities from within and beyond academic institutions; to inaugurate, innovate, interrogate and challenge narrative, cultural historical and musicological tropes about the Beatles as both subject and object of study; to publish original and critical research from Beatles scholars around the globe and across disciplines.
