Rural 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 Rural History webpage or the following url: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/rural-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.
Submission of a manuscript to Rural History is taken to imply that it is the original, entirely unpublished work of the author(s) and is not under review for publication elsewhere in any form.
