Medical History uses an all-electronic process for receiving and refereeing articles through the ScholarOne system. Papers should be submitted through ScholarOne following the link from Cambridge University Press’s Medical History webpage or the following url: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/medical-history. If visiting the site for the first time, users must create a new account by clicking on ‘register here’. Once logged in, authors should click on the ‘Author Centre’ from which point a new submission can be submitted, with step-by-step instructions provided. When your submission is complete you will receive an email confirmation.
Contributions are considered on the understanding that they are the original work of the author(s), not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and have not been published before, whole or in part, including in another language.
Licence to publish
Before Cambridge can publish your manuscript, we need a signed licence to publish agreement. Under the agreement, certain rights are granted to the journal owner which allow publication of the article. The original ownership of the copyright in the article remains unchanged.
