When your manuscript is accepted there will be several actions required.
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 on the publishing agreement page.
Manuscripts are published on FirstView (and receive a DOI). They will then be published in an issue in a coming volume (this may take some time).
The published document may be included in media, social media. Consider generating a video abstract to promote interest in your manuscript.
Video Abstracts
AJEE supports authors constructing a video abstract for the publication.
Some guidelines for generating your video abstract follow:
- People are more likely to watch shorter videos than longer ones – so keeping it under 4 minutes is a good idea.
- Provide an overview of the context, background, what you did and what you found. You might want to highlight the research questions.
- Can you draw out the implications for an environmental education practice?
- If you can avoid it being just you talking to the camera – great. Can you include imagery?
- It’s not necessary to have the references listed at the end (like scrolling credits).
- Avoid using jargon, making it more accessible to a non-academic audience.
- Please include the transcript for the video – to embed closed captions.
Provide the abstract video the AJEE Assistant Editor
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.
FirstView
AJEE uses the FirstView system to publish articles online ahead of the print edition. For more details please see our FAQs.
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. For more information please refer to our FAQs.
Funding open access
Multiple funding routes are available for Gold Open Access articles. Please see this journal's open access options for details.
