Proofs and Copyright

Proofs of accepted articles will be sent electronically to authors for the correction of printers’ errors; authors’ alterations may be charged. Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for publication exclusive publishing rights of the paper shall be licensed to the Association (excepting papers published as Open Access — see the journal's author publishing agreements for more information).

Further Information

Once a paper is accepted by a journal's editor(s) it will be sent to Cambridge University Press to be prepared for publication. Efficiency, accuracy and quality are at the heart of this process. Authors will have access to a dedicated content manager, who will be available to answer questions and offer support as their article progresses through the steps towards publication.

Our processes are streamlined throughout, as we recognise the importance of making sure papers reach the academic community rapidly and with minimal fuss. However, at all stages we take care to offer an attentive service that matches the requirements of the material and does not make any compromises on quality.
