Predatory publishers
We are aware that some companies claim to work with Cambridge University Press journals to guarantee publication, or to provide publishing services on our behalf for a fee. The only companies we work with to provide publishing services will be listed on Cambridge Core pages, and submissions to Cambridge University Press journals can only be made via the online peer review systems linked to from this Cambridge Core website, or else directly to the editorial offices of those journals. If you have any doubts and for more information on predatory publishing, please visit the Think Check Submit website.

Article processing charges (APCs)
This is an open access journal in which all research articles are published as Gold Open Access under a Creative Commons licence.

In many cases Gold Open Access articles are supported by institutional agreements.

However multiple other routes to funding Gold Open Access also exist, including equity initiatives and APC waivers and discounts, in order to ensure that every author can publish in this journal. Please see this journal's open access options for full details.
