Publication process after acceptance

Production

Once an article has been accepted, the process of copyediting, proofing, typesetting and publishing the article will begin. Authors will be asked to ensure all final files are submitted to ScholarOne before the article can be sent to Cambridge University Press for production.

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.

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.
