All contributions will be reviewed by at least two referees to ensure both accuracy and relevance. The referees’ reports will provide a basis on whether we accept a paper. Revision is likely before final acceptance by the Editor.

Appeals process

Appeals against an editorial decision will be considered under exceptional circumstances only. Any appeal should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief via the Editorial Office (rafjournal@cambridge.org) and must be received within 3 months from the date of the rejection letter. Such appeals must state clearly the grounds for the appeal. Uninvited resubmissions will not be considered.

If you have any other concerns about the handling of a manuscript or editorial processes of the journal, please contact the Editorial Office at: rafjournal@cambridge.org or the journal’s publisher, Cambridge University Press, at publishingethics@cambridge.org.
