Music Research Essentials, a new open textbook, was published in February 2024 in Open Textbooks @ UQ.
About the book 
Music Research Essentials is for undergraduate music students and provides discipline-specific information on the fundamentals of doing music research. It was designed with first-year students in the School of Music at the University of Queensland in mind, but it also provides generic information that is more widely applicable.
It was written as a collaboration between Library and academic staff at The University of Queensland.
