Publication process after acceptance

Author Information Form

After acceptance you will receive an email from [email protected] inviting you to complete an Author Information Form. You will be required to confirm information relating to your article, which will be reflected in your final publication and in your digital publishing agreement, if applicable. Once you have completed the Author Information form and signed your publishing agreement, your article will proceed into production. 

Production

Once an article has been accepted and the Author Information Form has been completed, the process of copyediting, typesetting, proofing, and publishing the article will begin. 

Your point of contact with Cambridge University Press will be the content manager of the journal. For more information about how production works at Cambridge University Press, please see our information about our publication journey, which explains how an article goes from accepted manuscript to fully published. Note that there may be small variances in this process between journals. More information is available at our Journal Production FAQs.

Funding open access

Multiple funding routes are available for Gold Open Access articles. Please see this journal's open access options for details.

Proofs

Contributors will receive a proof of their article for correction of any typesetting errors and any essential factual errors.

Publication

All articles in Rural History are published online as individual items ahead of their appearance, both online and print, as part of an issue.  This ensures that articles are made available to read and to cite as soon as possible after their acceptance rather than authors having to wait for the next available space in an issue. Please note that this ‘online-ahead-of-print’ or ‘First View’ publication is treated as the moment of formal publication, after which no changes can be made besides pagination for the issue.

Open Access
