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



    Will I receive a free copy of the proceedings?

    No, but authors do receive a 30% discount from the list price 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?

    Along with the rest of the academic community, we discourage duplicate publication. You do retain the right to publish your paper elsewhere in its original or a revised form, as long as that publication does not attempt to duplicate a significant part of a proceedings published by Cascadilla Proceedings Project.

    If you list your paper on your personal web site, please include a link to the table of contents for the proceedings or to the abstract page for your paper. This will allow interested readers to see information about the proceedings and download the PDF file of your paper directly from our site. It will also help your paper appear earlier in search results on Google and elsewhere.

    Please do not post an electronic copy of your paper elsewhere. If you placed your paper on your personal web site or a preprint server before publication, please remove that version and link to the official published version instead. The official published version is now freely available to everyone on the Cascadilla Proceedings Project web site.

    You are welcome to publish a significantly revised, abbreviated, or expanded version of your paper in any way you want. You should 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.
