  • Who should we contact about publishing our proceedings?

    Send e-mail to Michael Bernstein at michael@cascadilla.com. We would like to know the name, location, and dates of the conference, the approximate attendance, the number of papers presented, the number of papers expected for the proceedings, and how the proceedings have been published for previous conferences if the conference is part of a series.

    The volume editors do a lot of work to prepare the proceedings for publication, which is detailed on the process page. There is no monetary cost to a conference to publish a proceedings with Cascadilla Proceedings Project.

    We only publish original proceedings which have not been previously published.



    Can proceedings have creative titles?

    No, but they can have short creative subtitles. To avoid conflicts in proceedings titles, make ordering easier for libraries, and facilitate order fulfillment for us, the main title must be either "Proceedings of" or "Selected Proceedings of" followed by the name of the conference. If the conference does not have a series number or year in its name, the year of the conference must be added in the proceedings title. For example, "Proceedings of the 2005 Conference on Phonemes and Lexicography" rather than "Proceedings of the Conference on Phonemes and Lexicography".



    Do proceedings have ISBNs?

    Yes. We assign an ISBN to each proceedings, which applies to the print edition. Because Cascadilla Proceedings Project is an imprint of Cascadilla Press, the ISBN starts with the same prefix (1-57473) as Cascadilla Press titles. Because the web edition is really free web access to the print edition and cannot be ordered as a separate product, there is no separate ISBN for the web edition.



    Is the on-line edition of a proceedings identical to the print edition?

    Yes, every paper published on the Cascadilla Proceedings Project web site is identical to the print edition in content, formatting, and pagination.



    Do volume editors sign a contract?

    Yes, a contract is sent to volume editors after a proceedings has been accepted for publication by Cascadilla Proceedings Project.
