The publication process

Your article has been accepted for publication. What happens next?

Once accepted, we publish your article as quickly as possible. There are a few things the corresponding author needs to do to keep this process moving.


Review your proofs

  • Check your email inbox for a link and instructions for accessing your page proofs. The editorial office may ask for final file updates before moving your article into production
  • Review your proofs, answer editor queries, and provide any missing information
  • Return proofs within 48 hours

Note: The proofing stage is only meant to check for errors within the manuscript, such as typographical errors or section numbering. In order to preserve the integrity of the review process, Wiley does not support making material changes to the content of the manuscript, such as altering the methodology.


Sign your license

  • Check your email inbox for a link and instructions for accessing Wiley Author Services
  • Choose and sign your publication license. Check if your institution requires you to select a specific license type

Note: You can also track your article throughout the publication process from your Author Services dashboard.


Pay your APC

  • Pay any applicable Article Publication Charges (APCs) if you publish your article as open access
  • You might have a discount or full APC coverage. Be sure to check if you're eligible for any institutional, geographic, or society discount

Publication
