Psychomusicology: A resounding closing cadence.

“…First might be that, despite the challenges faced in terms of making its content available over the years, PMMB has achieved a laudable presence in the field, producing multiple well-cited articles. In interpreting these rates, recent analyses (MacLeod, 2021a, 2021b) of two more mainstream psychological journals— Memory & Cognition ( M&C ), and the Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology ( CJEP )—provide a relevant point of comparison 2 . The citation rates for M&C (MacLeod, 2021b) clearly outstrip those for PMMB , an unsurprising result given the generalist nature of the journal, and the rather large number of researchers for whom a journal focusing on memory and cognitive processing would be a desirable outlet.…”

Message from the incoming editor.

“…Founded in 1947, CJEP has a long history, detailed in an article published during Randy Jamieson’s tenure as Editor that was written by another former Editor, Colin MacLeod (MacLeod, 2021). Of note, MacLeod’s overview contains a photo montage of all 15 CJEP Editors prior to Randy.…”
