For all Sponsorship, Sponsored Supplement, Special or Themed Issue, and Special Collection enquiries, please contact us at sponsorship@cambridge.org.
We accept sponsorship of certain journal activities and outputs. These include:
Sponsored Supplements
Supplements are an effective way to rapidly communicate your research to the academic and professional community within a prestigious peer-reviewed journal. All Supplements are peer-reviewed in accordance with the journal’s peer review policy to the same high-quality editorial standards as regular issue content and are published within the main journal volume. A Supplement is an additional publication beyond the normal number of issues within a journal Volume and is therefore funded by sponsors, examples of which might include, but not limited to, industry-specific businesses, not-for-profit organisations, government agencies, educational institutions, and hospitals.
Sponsored supplements are available at a minimum to all journal subscribers, however there are a variety of supplement options available. Funding bodies may choose to include a print component or to publish all articles Open Access with a CC-BY license, making sure you reach your target audience.
Benefits:
- Work outside of regular production schedule
- Logo on the supplement cover or preliminary pages
- Introductory material from the sponsor
Special or Themed Issues
Some of our Journals may choose to commission collections of articles on a particular topic and may approach sponsors to support these special issues.
We also welcome suggestions for special/themed issues from sponsors, with the journal following all usual authorship, review, and acceptance processes and the journal maintaining all editorial control. You may also choose to sponsor making a special/themed issue Open Access by waiving open access publication fees.
