Cambridge Archaeological Journal Template 2026

Authored by Sumalatha Gangadhar | Published on 28 September, 2026

Use this Cambridge Archaeological Journal template when the manuscript has to match that journal before you upload it. Check the current rules in the Cambridge Archaeological Journal author instructions; the Cambridge Archaeological Journal journal page has the scope and latest issues.

What is the Cambridge Archaeological Journal Template?

It is the writing shell for Cambridge Archaeological Journal: title and authors, the abstract, the body, declarations, figures, and the reference list. The limits that decide a desk reject are on the journal page linked above.

What's actually in a Cambridge Archaeological Journal submission:

A Cambridge Archaeological Journal submission has a title page with authors and affiliations, an abstract, keywords, the main text for your article type, declarations, the reference list, and figures and tables. This page does not invent a word limit. Where a rule is not listed below, it was not confirmed.

What separates a clean submission from one that gets kicked back:

• A file that ignores the abstract rule or uses a different reference style from the one the journal names.
• A missing declaration: ethics approval, competing interests, funding, or data availability.

Read the full rules on the journal page linked above before you upload.

What does this Cambridge Archaeological Journal Template include?

The sections a Cambridge Archaeological Journal submission is built from, in order: title page, abstract, keywords, main text, declarations, references, figures, and tables. It does not replace the journal's own checklist.

Cambridge Archaeological Journal Template Structure at a Glance

Cambridge Archaeological Journal Reference Style with Examples

Reference managers format Cambridge Archaeological Journal citations with the McDonald Institute Monographs reference style, with author and year in the text and an alphabetical reference list. Zotero and Mendeley list it as "Cambridge Archaeological Journal" in the open Citation Style Language database.

In-text citation: (Smith & Patel 2021) for a two-author article, (Garcia 2019) for a single-author book.

Reference list entries:

• Journal article: Smith, J.A. & R. Patel, 2021. Seasonal variation in soil microbial activity, Journal of Field Studies 12(3), 145–59.
• Book: Garcia, L., 2019. Methods in Applied Research, 2nd edition. London: Academic Press.

These examples show the pattern, not real sources. If the author guide gives a different rule for DOIs or for how many authors to list before et al., follow the guide.

Quick Tips for Using the Cambridge Archaeological Journal Template

• Set Zotero or Mendeley to the "Cambridge Archaeological Journal" style before you add the first citation.
• Keep declarations with the manuscript, not in a separate note you might forget to upload.

Best Practices

Open the author guide once before you draft and once before you upload. Match a recent Cambridge Archaeological Journal paper for depth, headings, and figure style.

Before You Submit: Final Check

• The reference style matches the author guide, and every citation has a matching entry.
• Declarations are included: ethics, competing interests, funding, and data availability.
• Figures are publication-ready and cited in order.

Then submit on the journal's portal, not from this page.
