Congratulations, your paper has been accepted!

If your paper was accepted by a journal that is published on paper, you will probably have to wait several months until your work appears in print. Moreover, after you have completed a few necessary formalities, for example, the assignation of copyright to the journal, and have requested a certain number of reprints (offprints) over and above those that you will receive at no charge, it is likely that you will not hear directly from the journal until your paper is returned to you as galley proofs or page proofs. When you receive these proofs, you will also receive instructions on how to correct any errors that have appeared during the prepublication process. When you correct your proofs, you should not introduce any new material into your paper. If it is necessary to add some details to correct a mistake in your results or conclusions, you can do so but you should bear in mind that you will be charged for making any substantive changes. If you need to make changes of this type, you should contact the editorial office to discuss the changes that you want to make and to determine how much you will be charged for making them.
