Forms of Publication
The CAA Proceedings will be published within one year of the conference by Amsterdam University Press (AUP) under the imprint of Pallas Publications. The CAA Proceedings consist of a printed version that will only contain the 50 papers that were ranked highest by the CAA Review College when first submitted (25th June). All accepted papers will however be available online, and as downloadable .pdf-files through the Open Access facilities provided by AUP.
The printed version of the CAA Proceedings will be sent to all members who have checked this option when registering. The CAA Proceedings can also be ordered using the Printing On Demand services of AUP.
Review
Your manuscript will be reviewed by members of the CAA Review College. This will include a check for English language. At least one of the reviewers will be a native English speaker. If the quality of English means that the content of the paper cannot properly be assessed then the paper will be rejected immediately.
Reviewed papers can receive one of four possible recommendations:
- accept as is;
- accept with minor revision (including English language, referencing and formatting);
- accept with major revision (including English language, referencing and formatting);
- reject.
In the case of acceptance with minor or major revisions, you will receive the reviewers’ comments that will help you to improve your manuscript and a brief comment on referencing and formatting. Papers requiring major revisions must be accompanied by a brief statement of how the comments have been addressed. A rejected manuscript cannot be resubmitted.
The following fundamental selection criteria are used:
- the paper’s academic standard;
- its consistency of content;
- its clarity of style;
- quality and relevance of illustrations.
A full description of the review process, including the membership of the Review College, is given on the CAA website.

If you are using the Mendeley referencing system please make sure that you have chosen the Chicago Manual of Style (Author-Date format).
If you are using EndNote you should download the Chicago Manual of Style 16th Edition B.
Images
Note that the printed version of the CAA Proceedings will have black and white images only. The online version of the CAA Proceedings can have colour versions of the images, but be sure that all of your colour images are usable when converted to greyscale.
All images must be at least 600 dpi and either 8-bit greyscale or RGB. Please use either .jpg, .tiff or .eps files. Please verify that all images are the correct size: images must be less than 16 cm wide and 24.7 cm high.
If you are submitting images, tables or any other files as supplementary to your submission (step 4), make sure to ckeck the box ”Present file to reviewers (without metadata), as it will not compromise blind review”. In any other case, your supplementary files cannot be made available to the reviewers and therefore your submission will not be properly reviewed.
Copyright Release Form
Upon acceptance of the manuscript, all authors must fill in and sign the copyright release form. This includes co-authors.
The signed and scanned form should be attached as a supplementary file along with your final submission.
