Submitting to Cambridge University Press journals
What we hold as Cambridge University Press’s house rules, and where each one was read. A journal’s own guide for authors always comes first: a rule here is used only where that guide is silent.

Verified: Cambridge University Press states these for its journals. Only rules like these can count as a blocker in a check, and a journal’s own guide still comes first.

What the journal decides, not Cambridge University Press
These vary between Cambridge University Press journals, so we do not hold a house value for them. Your journal’s own guide for authors is where to look.
