Rules for publication

Articles must be in French and English

An article can be submitted in either language but the author(s) must arrange for translation into the other language, once the article has been accepted for publication.

Each version must not exceed 30,000 characters (spaces included). An electronic copy in Word format must be provided.

The text must be accompanied by an abstract, in French and English, of between 1000 and 1500 characters (spaces included), followed by 4 or 5 explicit keywords.

The bibliography must be the same for both versions and must not exceed 40 titles (see below for presentation).

Titles must be short and informative: the title of an article must not exceed 90 characters, including spaces. The sub-title must not exceed 110 characters, including spaces.

The author of any translation must be cited.

Illustrations should be submitted in colour and black and white

They must be of perfect quality, requiring no touching up by the Editorial Committee.

They must be free of rights.

Illustrations must be provided in a separate electronic file (not in body of text), and in the following format:

- Titles, legends and sources must be provided in French and English.

- Each figure (in 300 dpi) must therefore be submitted in 2 versions if only black and white figures are available, i.e. in French and English, plus 2 other versions if colour figures are available.

Bibliographical references must be mentioned in the text (name, publication date) and not in footnotes

The full reference must then be given in the bibliography at the end of the article with the following presentation:

    • the right to present again, or get others to present again, the present contribution, by any process whatsoever, such as through networks or the internet.

It is agreed that the transfer has effect in any place, in any language, and for a period to last as long as literary and artistic property rights, in accordance with both French and foreign legislation, and current or future international agreements, including extensions that may be applied to this period.
