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.
Copyright in your contribution
Modern American History authors retain their copyright and do not transfer ownership of their contributions to either the journal or the publisher. The only requirement in regard to copyright will be the digital signing of a license to publish form, upon acceptance, that establishes the author’s and publisher’s rights in respect to the published article. A copy of this form will be sent to you, via the Ironclad system, with instructions explaining how to return it. More information can be found here.
First View online ahead of issue publishing
Articles are published online as individual, standalone items with static digital object identifiers (DOIs) as soon as they have been through the production and proofing process. We do not wait for the next edition. When an issue is published, the appropriate articles are gathered together, repaginated, reorganized online, and printed as a conventional issue. This approach to publishing reduces the time authors are required to wait before publication and delivers citable research to the community without delay.
Digital offprints
Authors of articles will receive a PDF of the final version of their article upon publication. Please note that print offprints are not supplied.
Funding open access
Multiple funding routes are available for Gold Open Access articles. Please see this journal's open access options for details.
