16. How to get published with Cambridge

17. How to get published… Points to Consider: 1) Selecting a Journal 2) How to Submit 3) Instructions to Contributors 4) Rejection and Revision 5) Post Acceptance

18. 1) Selecting a Journal Select a journal in the preliminary stages - Predetermines style and intended audience Impact Factor – The IF can provide some broad indications Intended readership, aims and scope Read current articles - All Cambridge journals have free issues Search for previous articles on topic - Free Searches on CJO Journal Citation Reports Service Consider editorial decision time and post acceptance turnaround Does the journal offer FirstView online access?

19. 2) How to Submit Increasingly Cambridge journals utilise online submission, and enable authors to track their article. Email submission may still be used in some cases. Always refer to Instructions for Contributors for journal specific information. Include a cover letter/email with any required information and if necessary a concise version of the logic of the paper. Remember submission of a paper is taken to denote that all authors have seen the final version and approved it.

20. 3) Instructions to Contributors Pay attention to journal-specific guidelines for contributors as papers that have to be revised will take longer to be published. These guidelines can include instructions for: –Specific page layouts –Short title –Keywords –Number of pages –Reference style If the journal provides a template or style file, use it.

21. 4) Rejection and Revision The usual reasons for rejection are: –Insufficient originality –Serious scientific flaws –Absence of a message that is important to the target audience –Questionnaire surveys with low response rates –Articles that are simply descriptive with little attempt at evaluation

22. 5) Post Acceptance We add value to the accepted manuscript with: Copy editing and proof reading stage Production at the highest industry standards State-of-the-art online delivery Print delivery meeting the FSC standards Intensive marketing of all our content (more than 170,000 recipients of our table-of-contents alerts) Usage statistics available at journal and paper level Open Access options meeting funding bodies’ requirements Supply of metadata to abstracting and indexing services

23. Open Access policy

24. Open Access (OA) Historically, access to published articles was available only via a subscription to the publishing journal, and was only available in that one location. Publishers now offer various degrees of ‘open access’ to published articles. These can be differentiated by what is made open, when it is made open, and where it is openly available.

25. OA – What, when, and where? What? – “Author’s original” (unrefereed draft) – “Accepted manuscript” (refereed manuscript) – “Version of record” (published article) When?– Immediately upon acceptance – Immediately upon publication – After some embargo period Where?– Author’s website – Departmental website – Subject repository (arXiv, RepEc, PubMed, …) – Institutional repository

26. 1999OA Initiative launched BMC announced E-Biomed proposed (H. Varmus) 2002Budapest Initiative PLoS launched 2003Wellcome Trust endorses OA 2009120 mandates (72 institutions, 48 funders) Open Access: Brief History

27. OA Archiving vs Publishing Archiving - ‘Green’ Mandates by institutions and funders Repositories –Institutional, subject or national Accepted Manuscript or Version of Record PDF Metadata can be harvested Publishing - ‘Gold’ One-off payment, or subsidised from other sources Version of Record PDF Re-use, re-purposing, modification permitted Deposit in PubMed, etc

28. Funders: Wellcome Trust, RCUK (c.50 to date) NIH, Canadian RC HHMI MPG, DFG and others Institutions:Macquarie (Australia), Hong Kong (c.70 to date) Helsinki, CNRS, INRA (France), Humboldt (Germany), Hokkaido, Stockholm, Oslo, Glasgow, Southampton, Harvard Schools, Stanford Dept of Education Institutional Repositories: c.1600 repositories to date Open Access: Mandates

29. Cambridge = ‘Green’ publisher with ‘Gold’ OA offered on a hybrid basis via the Cambridge Open Option. We meet all* of the requirements of funders and institutional mandates (and recommendations) * Exception – Harvard FAS and Law School Open Access: Cambridge Policy

30. Can post a copy of the Accepted Manuscript on author’s or department’s web page and on subject or institutional repository Can be deposited immediately upon acceptance Publisher copyright and source must be acknowledged Publisher’s Version of Record/PDF may be used on author’s personal or departmental web page any time after publication, with a link to the publisher’s version Publisher’s Version of Record/PDF may be used in a subject or institutional repository after 12 month embargo Open Access: Cambridge Policy

31. Participate in AGORA, HINARI, INASP and OARE initiatives. Provides wide dissemination to developing countries at no or heavily-discounted cost. Cambridge Journals offers a hybrid OA model, where authors have the option of publishing their article as OA, on payment of a one-off publishing fee. Cambridge Journals is an associate member of Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA). Cambridge Journals is participating in EU-funded PEER Project (Publishing Ecology of European Research). Cambridge and OA Related Activities

32. Open Access and the future Sustainable ‘gold’ OA probably requires funding changes, and is likely to be limited to certain subject areas, and possibly less prestigious journals. No hard evidence yet to show that ‘Green’ OA has a negative impact on subscriptions, provided that VoR has a 12 month embargo period. However, still fears that the increase in institutional mandates may slowly erode subscriptions.
