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 a coming volume.
PROOFS AND OFFPRINTS
Only essential typographical or factual errors may be changed at proof stage. Any major revisions or substantive additions to the text at proofs stage will be disregarded, unless prior consent has been given by the Editor-in-Chief and publisher.
This journal benefits from FirstView, a feature offered through the Cambridge Journals Online platform. It allows completed articles to be hosted online prior to their inclusion in a final print and online journal issue. This significantly reduces the lead time between submission and publication. Note that once an article is published in FirstView no further changes can be made.
No paper offprints are provided, but authors will be provided with an electronic pdf file of their published article for their personal use subject to the conditions of the Copyright Transfer Form. Print offprints may be purchased at cost at proof stage.
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
CYELS uses the FirstView system to publish articles online ahead of the print edition. For more details please see our FAQs.
Articles published online under the FirstView model are considered published, and have a DOI which can be used for citation. No further revisions can be made after FirstView publication of an article. Articles will later be assigned to an appropriate issue by the journal's Editor. Articles may appear in a different order in issues to the order they were published under FirstView.
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.
