Please note that all contributions should be submitted via the Early Medieval England and its Neighbours’ ScholarOne site here: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.c...
1. Before submission, prospective contributors are welcome to contact an appropriate member of the editorial board for general guidance, if any is needed. Submission of a paper will be taken to imply that it is unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere.
2. Stylesheet. Contributors are responsible for ensuring that their contributions are prepared in accordance with the stylesheet (Sections 3–4). It is understood, of course, that a stylesheet cannot cover every form of citation, and that not all books and articles lend themselves readily to a system of any kind. In case of doubt or difficulty, please consult the appropriate editor. Recent volumes of ASE may serve as useful models. If you have any suggestions for the correction or improvement of the stylesheet, please send them to the Editorial Assistant.
3. Process. Contributions should be submitted via the journal’s ScholarOne site here. You will be asked to supply a record of institutional affiliation, and full contact details. The submission must be submitted as one or more electronic files, with text prepared in Microsoft Word (PC or Apple Mac); PDF files are not acceptable. Contributions may be single- or double-spaced, and should be set up with footnotes or endnotes (although footnotes will be used in the published version of accepted submissions). Please indicate if there has been previous contact with a particular member of the Editorial Advisory Board. The Executive Editors will identify a member of the board as the designated editor for that contribution. Contributions will be read by two or more appropriate members of the board; if necessary, other qualified experts will be invited to read and comment on a submission. The designated editor will transmit feedback to the contributor through ScholarOne, and will at the same time pass on the collective editorial decision (whether acceptance; provisional acceptance subject to revision; an invitation to resubmit following revision; or rejection). A revised version should be returned via ScholarOne, where it will receive its final decision and, if accepted, be exported to Production. Contributions are published online as soon as they have completed the Production process, and are collated in an annual volume at the end of each calendar year.
Licence to publish
Before Cambridge can publish your manuscript, we need a signed licence to publish agreement. Under the agreement, certain rights are granted to the journal owner which allow publication of the article. The original ownership of the copyright in the article remains unchanged. For full details see the publishing agreement page.
ORCID
We encourage authors to identify themselves using ORCID when submitting a manuscript to this journal. ORCID provides a unique identifier for researchers and, through integration with key research workflows such as manuscript submission and grant applications, provides the following benefits:
- Discoverability: ORCID increases the discoverability of your publications, by enabling smarter publisher systems and by helping readers to reliably find work that you have authored.
- Convenience: As more organisations use ORCID, providing your iD or using it to register for services will automatically link activities to your ORCID record, and will enable you to share this information with other systems and platforms you use, saving you re-keying information multiple times.
- Keeping track: Your ORCID record is a neat place to store and (if you choose) share validated information about your research activities and affiliations.
See our ORCID FAQs for more information. If you don’t already have an iD, you can create one by registering directly at https://ORCID.org/register.
ORCIDs can also be used if authors wish to communicate to readers up-to-date information about how they wish to be addressed or referred to (for example, they wish to include pronouns, additional titles, honorifics, name variations, etc.) alongside their published articles. We encourage authors to make use of the ORCID profile’s “Published Name” field for this purpose. This is entirely optional for authors who wish to communicate such information in connection with their article. Please note that this method is not currently recommended for author name changes: see Cambridge’s author name change policy if you want to change your name on an already published article. See our ORCID FAQs for more information.
