Súmula: Revista de teoría y análisis musical es el órgano científico de la Sociedad de Análisis y Teoría Musical (SATMUS). De revisión por pares y acceso libre online, la revista tiene como principal objetivo la publicación de investigaciones originales en cualquier ámbito de la teoría musical y su impacto en el análisis musical, incluyendo cuestiones como la historia y la pedagogía respecto de ambas disciplinas. También se interesa por relaciones interdisciplinares –contemplando, entre otras áreas, la lingüística y la semiótica, las ciencias cognitivas o la computación– que redunden en un mayor alcance y en una utilidad social del análisis y de la teoría musical. La revista acepta estudios novedosos que se articulen desde el rigor científico y una conciencia crítica de la disciplina, sin privilegiar ningún marco teórico o metodológico particular. Las reseñas de libros y congresos de teoría y análisis musical son igualmente bienvenidas. Súmula ambiciona convertirse en una plataforma de diálogo científico para todos los hispanohablantes interesados en la teoría y el análisis musical, fomentado la lengua española como vehículo de transmisión del conocimiento en estos campos.
