Musicologica Olomucensia (ISSN 2787-9186 [Print]; ISSN 2787-9194 [Online]), formerly published as Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Musicologica (ISSN 1212-1193 [Print]), is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal founded in 1993 at Palacký University Olomouc, one of the oldest universities in Central Europe. The journal publishes original research in all areas of musicology, with particular emphasis on the musical cultures of Central and Eastern Europe. It welcomes historical studies as well as research on contemporary musical culture, including comparative and transnational perspectives extending beyond the region.

The journal covers a broad range of musicological disciplines and approaches, including historical and systematic musicology, music theory, musical analysis, aesthetics, music historiography and ethnomusicology. It also welcomes interdisciplinary research drawing on cultural history, sociology, political science, anthropology and related fields. Its thematic scope includes all areas of musical culture, from art music and popular music to jazz, traditional and folk music. Relevant topics include musical works and genres, composition, performance and interpretation, musical practices, institutions and organisations, music education, production and circulation, reception and cultural exchange, as well as the relationships between music, politics, ideology, national and cultural identity, social change and historical memory. The journal's distinctive profile lies in combining broad disciplinary coverage with a sustained focus on the musical cultures of Central and Eastern Europe. It seeks to promote scholarly exchange among researchers and strengthen the international visibility of musicological research in the region.

The journal publishes articles in English, French, German, Czech and Slovak. All articles are accompanied by an English title, abstract and keywords. All submitted manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer-review process by two independent reviewers.

The journal accepts submissions on a continuous basis and welcomes proposals for thematic issues from prospective guest editors.
