Final version and proofs
Authors may expect to be informed about acceptance within six months of submission and generally sooner. If an article has been accepted for publication, the author must supply the final version as an email attachment, preferably using Microsoft Word.
Authors will have the opportunity to check one set of page proofs, which they will receive as pdf files. These must be corrected and returned promptly by mail or email to one of the editors. Typographical and factual errors may be changed at proof stage; the publisher reserves the right to charge authors for other kinds of corrections. Authors should keep the editors informed of any changes of mailing address and email address, temporary or permanent, to ensure prompt delivery of proofs and to facilitate communication.
Offprints
Authors will receive a PDF offprint of their article.
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. On acceptance, the editorial team will be in contact with the corresponding author to provide specific instructions about how to prepare the accepted manuscript for copyediting and typesetting.
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.
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.
