Copyediting
Manuscripts are copyedited by the Editor-in-Chief before they enter production. These edits typically emphasize bringing manuscripts into conformity with LHR house style. Due to the volume of manuscripts that we receive, we are not able to spend a great deal of time correcting prose in the body of each manuscript. Authors are urged to closely copyedit their prose at each stage of the review process. This will also ensure that authors need not make major changes in page proofs, which they review before final publication.
If you request color figures in the printed version, you will be contacted by CCC-Rightslink who are acting on our behalf to collect Author Charges. Please follow their instructions in order to avoid any delay in the publication of your article.
Open Access
Law and History Review encourages authors to publish their article through an Open Access model. Please see https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/open-access-policies/introduction-to-open-access for more information.
Please visit https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/law-and-history-review/information/journal-policies/open-access#fndtn-new for information on our open access policies, compliance with major funding bodies, and guidelines on depositing your manuscript in an institutional repository.
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.
Law and History Review 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.
Once your article has been published, authors will receive a code which will provide perpetual access in both HTML and PDF formats.
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.
