Licence to Publish
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 here.
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 Editorial Manager 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.
Receiving proofs
Once proofs have been sent, authors can directly make changes to the article via RAFS' online correction tool, although please note that only changes to errors induced by typesetting/copyediting, or typographical errors, will be accepted. Revisions to the substance of the text is not permitted, unless discussed with the Editor in Chief.
Corrected proofs should be returned within 2 days. Please note that supplementary material will not be copyedited.
Online publication
Following the completion of the production process, papers will be published online into the current volume. They are given a DOI and considered the Version of Record.
Authors will receive a link to their published paper by email.
Corrections
Changes cannot be made to articles once published. Any changes must be made via the standard process of issuing a correction notice. Please contact the journal's Content Manager 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.
Funding open access
Multiple funding routes are available for Gold Open Access articles. Please see this journal's open access options for details.
