  • This page answers authors' frequently asked questions. You can also view the general style sheet for Cascadilla Proceedings Project, as well as information about PostScript and PDF files.



    Will I receive a free copy of the proceedings?

    No, but authors do receive a 30% discount on print copies of their proceedings. This author discount should be mentioned when an order is placed, and it will be applied when the order is processed. Authors have free access to the web edition, of course.



    Can I publish my paper elsewhere after I have published it with CPP?

    For print publication, you are welcome to publish your paper elsewhere in its original or a revised form, as long as that print publication does not attempt to duplicate a significant part of a proceedings published by Cascadilla Proceedings Project.

    You are welcome to distribute your paper from your own web site, though we recommend simply including a link to www.lingref.com and providing the document number. Linking to our site allows people to view your abstract, read other papers from that proceedings, and order a print copy of the proceedings if they want to.

    You should not authorize electronic distribution of your published paper as it appears here except from your own web site. So please do not send your published paper to preprint servers, electronic databases, on-line archives, or similar electronic media.

    You are welcome to publish a significantly revised, abbreviated, or expanded version of your paper in any way you want. Please mention that an earlier version of your paper was published by Cascadilla Proceedings Project and include the full reference.



    Can I correct a mistake in my abstract?

    Yes, just send e-mail to webmaster@cascadilla.com.



    Can I correct a mistake in my paper?

    No, once a paper is published it cannot be changed. This preserves the integrity of the scientific literature, and ensures that the print edition and web edition are identical. The only change we can make to the published PDF file is to correct a format error in the file that is preventing it from displaying or printing as originally intended, such as embedding a missing font.

    If you discover substantive mistakes in your paper after publication, please keep track of them. We may add an option to the site to list errata for papers.
