Publication agreement
Once your article has been accepted, but before it can proceed into production, we need a signed licence to publish form. Further information about this may be found in the publishing agreement page.
Author Information Form
After acceptance you will receive an email from [email protected] inviting you to complete an Author Information Form. You will be required to confirm information relating to your article, which will be reflected in your final publication and in your digital publishing agreement, if applicable. Once you have completed the Author Information form and signed your publishing agreement, your article will proceed into production.
Production
Once an article has been accepted and the Author Information Form has been completed, the process of copyediting, typesetting, proofing, and publishing the article will begin.
Your point of contact with Cambridge University Press will be the content manager of the journal. For more information about how production works at Cambridge University Press, please see our information about our publication journey, which explains how an article goes from accepted manuscript to fully published. Note that there may be small variances in this process between journals. More information is available at our Journal Production FAQs.
Receiving proofs
Once proofs have been sent authors can make changes to the article, although please note that only changes to errors induced by typesetting/copyediting, or typographical errors, will be accepted. Revisions to the substance of the text is not permitted, unless discussed with the Editor in Chief.
Corrected proofs should be returned within 2 days. Please note that supplementary material will not be copyedited.
Online publication
Following the completion of the production process, papers will be published online into the current volume. They are given a DOI and considered the Version of Record.
Authors will receive a link to their published paper by email.
Corrections
Changes cannot be made to articles once published. Any changes must be made via the standard process of issuing a correction notice. Please contact the journal's Content Manager if any error has been identified. The final decision on whether a correction notice should be published will be taken by the Publisher in consultation with the Editorial Team.
Funding open access
Multiple funding routes are available for Gold Open Access articles. Please see this journal's open access options for details.
