Peer Review and Editorial Review Process

All Cambridge Press publications go through an editorial review process to ensure quality, relevance, and contribution to the field.

Review Process

1. Initial Editorial Screening
   The commissioning editor reviews the proposal to assess fit with the publishing list and readership.

2. External Review
   Suitable proposals or manuscripts are sent to independent reviewers with expertise in the subject area.

3. Editorial Board Decision
   Based on reviewer feedback, the press decides whether to:

   • Accept

   • Accept with revisions

   • Request resubmission

   • Decline

4. Contract and Manuscript Development
   Once accepted, the author works with the editor to develop the final manuscript.

5. Production
   Copyediting, proofreading, typesetting, cover design, and printing/digital publication.

Cambridge Press aims to provide constructive and developmental feedback throughout the process.
