Once an article has been accepted, Cambridge University Press will manage the process of copyediting, proofing, typesetting and publishing each piece of content. Your point of contact with Cambridge University Press will be the content manager, or production editor, of the journal. For more information about how production works at Cambridge University Press, please visit this page. Here, you will find basic information about how an article goes from accepted manuscript to fully published. There may be small differences between journals with this process. If you have a specific question about this journal, please contact the editorial office.
Copyright
The policy of the Business and Human Rights Journal is that authors (or in some cases their employers) retain copyright and grant Cambridge University Press a licence to publish their work. In the case of Gold Open Access articles this is a non-exclusive licence. Authors must complete and return an author publishing agreement form as soon as their article has been accepted for publication; the journal is unable to publish without this. Please download the appropriate publishing agreement here.
Gold Open Access
From 2024 all research content in the Business and Human Rights Journal will publish on a Gold Open Access basis. This includes Scholarly Articles and Developments in the Field pieces. Multiple funding routes are available for Gold Open Access articles. Please see this journal's open access options for details. By default, non-research material (Book Reviews) is not published Gold Open Access in this journal and does not require a fee. You may choose to publish a non-research article as Gold Open Access, but a fee will be charged and your article will not be eligible for waivers or discounts.
Green Open Access
The Business and Human Rights Journal encourages authors to take full advantage of its flexible Green Open Access policy. The Submitted Manuscript may be posted on a personal webpage, departmental, institutional or subject repository or social media site at any time. The Accepted Manuscript may be posted on a personal webpage, departmental, institutional or non-commercial subject repository immediately on acceptance. While the journal does not allow the posting of the Accepted Manuscript on commercial repositories or the Version of Record anywhere, we encourage authors to post an earlier draft and abstract of their journal article and a link to the Version of Record that sits on the Cambridge website, to direct visitors to the definitive, citable work. Full details of this policy can be found here.
Copyediting and proofreading
The publisher reserves the right to copyedit and proofread all articles accepted for publication, but authors will be consulted in the case of any substantial changes. Page proofs of each article will be sent to the lead author for correction of typographical errors only.
Author copy
Authors will receive a link to a freely accessible version of their article online for their personal use and to distribute to their personal contacts, subject to the conditions of their publishing agreement.
FirstView
All contributions will be scheduled for publication in the appropriate issue of the Business and Human Rights Journal. To reduce time between acceptance and publication, contributions may appear online as FirstView publications in advance of their scheduled publication in an issue. Designated issue number may be unknown at the time of FirstView publication.
