Author Guidelines

General norms of presentation

Quotations in the body of the text will be made in the language of the article. Thus, in the footnotes, the original version will be given in the case of a quotation from a text that is not written in the language of the article.

Quotations should be in standard roman characters. Quotations shorter than three lines should be integrated within the text and put between French quotation marks (« ») whatever the language. Quotations longer than three lines require block formatting and should be without quotation marks and indented on the left marginby 1,25 cm. The English translation of quotes in foreign languages should be provided in a footnote.

Italics should be reserved for titles of books and journals, isolated terms in foreign language, or to highlight a word or a sequence of words (in English or in another language). Interpolations (additions, omissions or modifications) of quotations should be indicated by square brackets [].

Centuries should be mentioned in Roman numerals and capital letters, followed by the word « Century » written in full : (e.g. XIV Century).

Capital letters should be accentuated.

Headings and subheadings should not be numbered and not be followed by a full stop (they may though be followed by exclamation marks, question marks or suspension points).

Double punctuation marks should be preceded by a non-breaking space and followed by a space. Simple punctuation marks should only be followed by a space.

Do not use footnotes in the article’s title or subtitle. All footnotes refer to the body of the text or, possibly, to the headings. Any acknowledgements should be mentioned in the first footnote of the article, at the end of the first sentence or clause.

Tabs should be avoided at the start of paragraphs.

The article should be accompanied by an abstract in French and in English.

In addition, the author should suggest five keywords in French and five keywords in English.

References in the body of the text

Any source should be mentioned in the following manner: name of the author in lowercase, [comma], date of publication, [colon], pages. Do not mention « p. » or « pp. » (e.g. Huxley, 1967 : 21-22).

If several works are published by the same author within the same year, distinguish them by adding a, b, c, etc. to the year of publication.
