COVID-19 Manuscripts
For manuscripts describing COVID-19 and coronavirus-related publications, we are taking steps to help authors make their work available to read and cite more quickly. This includes expediting the publication process for COVID-19 papers.
- Authors should share important information with public health authorities. We encourage all authors to share all data about the 2019-nCoV outbreak in confidence with the World Health Organization. The WHO is asking that submissions/pre-prints be sent to covid19preprint@who.int.
- Authors are encouraged to post submitted relevant manuscripts under review to bioRxiv, medRxiv or other relevant pre-print server. Cambridge's Preprint Policy explicitly allows authors to share manuscripts in this way prior to publication in a Cambridge journal.
The Press plays a global role in education and research and shares the University’s mission to contribute to society through our work. Sharing research can play an important role in tackling shared threats. As such, we have created a special collection of free-to-read articles and book chapters related to the coronavirus that will be continually updated as new research becomes available.
Production
Once an article has been accepted, the process of copyediting, proofing, typesetting and publishing the article will begin. On acceptance, the editorial team will be in contact with the corresponding author to provide specific instructions about how to prepare the accepted manuscript for copyediting and typesetting.
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 on publishing an accepted paper, which explains how an article goes from accepted manuscript to fully published. There may be small differences between journals with this process. You can also check our Journal Production FAQs.
Once your article has been accepted, but before it can proceed into production, we need a signed licence to publish form. Further information about this may be found here.
Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society uses the FirstView system to publish articles online ahead of the print edition. For more details please see our FAQs.
Articles published online under the FirstView model are considered published, and have a DOI which can be used for citation. No further revisions can be made after FirstView publication of an article. Articles will later be assigned to an appropriate issue by the journal's Editor. Articles may appear in a different order in issues to the order they were published under FirstView.
Changes cannot be made to articles once published. Any changes must be made via the standard process of issuing a correction notice. Please contact the Editorial Office and Content Manager for the journal if any error has been identified. The final decision on whether a correction notice should be published will be taken by the Publisher in consultation with the Editorial Team. For more information please refer to our FAQs.
Once your article has been published, authors will receive a code which will provide perpetual access in both HTML and PDF formats.
Funding open access
Multiple funding routes are available for Gold Open Access articles. Please see this journal's open access options for details.
