Licence to Publish and Open Access
Once your article has been accepted, but before it can proceed into production, we need a signed Licence to Publish. Further information about this process may be found here.
Please also see here for Open Access options, including how to check whether you are eligible to publish Gold Open Access under a Read & Publish agreement.
Funding open access
Multiple funding routes are available for Gold Open Access articles. Please see this journal's open access options for details.
Production
Once an article has been accepted, the process of copyediting, proofing, typesetting and publishing the article will begin. Authors will be asked to ensure all final files are submitted to ScholarOne before the article can be sent to Cambridge University Press for production.
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 on publishing an accepted paper, which explains how an article goes from accepted manuscript to fully published. There may be small differences between journals with this process. You can also check our Journal Production FAQs.

Online publication and FirstView
Ancient Mesoamerica uses the FirstView system to publish articles online ahead of the print edition. Once published online no further revisions may be made. Articles published online may be cited by their DOI prior to their assignment to an issue. Articles may not be published in print in the same order in which they appear online, but will be assigned to an appropriate issue by the Editor.
Articles to be included in special sections are now published online ahead of print.
Corrections
Changes cannot be made to articles once published (either online in FirstView or as part of an issue). Any changes must be made via the standard process of issuing a correction notice. Please contact the Editorial Office and Content Manager for the journal 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.
Access to your Article
Once the article has been published, authors will receive a code which will provide perpetual access in both HTML and PDF formats.
