The International Journal of Music Business Research is an online, open access, fully peer reviewed academic journal that has been published since 2012.

The field of music business studies is multidisciplinary; the journal publishes articles that address the economics of the arts and music, musical creativity, the sociology of music, the law, and culture and technology with a specific focus on articles that aim to enhance our understanding of the creation, dissemination, and reception/consumption of music. The journal is currently hosted by the Institute for Cultural Management and Cultural Studies (IKM) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.

We aim to publish two volumes annually: one an open edition and the other with a specific theme.
