Author Guidelines

General Information

The entire text should be composed in "Normal" style. Authors who wish to highlight a term may do so using italics or bold, but never underlining. Avoid using capital letters in titles and the text as much as possible. The first page has a specific presentation detailed below, and the article always starts on page 2.

Composition of the First Page of the Article

The title of the article ("Title" style) should be informative and concise (no more than two lines). The author must provide versions of the title in two languages other than that of the article. The authors' first and last names, along with their contact information (institutional affiliation and email address), should be provided in the "Author" style.

The abstract ("Abstract" style) and keywords ("Keywords" style) must be provided in two languages other than that of the article.

Composition of the Following Pages

The texts should be presented in "Normal" style.

Do not insert a character at the beginning of the paragraph to indicate indentation.

Do not write words, titles, author names, etc., entirely in uppercase (except for acronyms) ; capitalize only the first letter when appropriate.

Avoid using the words introduction and conclusion as titles.

Citations

Citations should be presented in quotation marks and in italics, size 10. The author’s first and last name should be indicated in regular characters (no capitals). Specify the page of the citation. Citations should be integrated into the text unless they are particularly long, in which case the "Long Quotation" style should be used. Citations exceeding 7 lines require the author’s permission.

“Long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation long quotation…”

Footnote References and Notes

Footnote references should be placed right after the last letter of the final word of the citation (therefore before the punctuation), right after the last letter of the author’s name.

Example for footnote references: “ahira bahira cahira dahira eahira gahira hahira jahira ahira bahira cahira dahira eahira gahira hahira jahira1.”

Latin Phrases

Non-francized Latin phrases should be italicized in a roman text and, conversely, written in roman in an italicized text.

ad hoc, ad libitum, a fortiori, a posteriori, a priori, bis, grosso modo, ibidem or ibid., idem or id., in extenso, in extremis, in fine, infra, locus citatum or loc. cit., statu quo, modus vivendi, opus citatum or op. cit., passim, quater, sic, supra, ter, via, vice-versa…

When these phrases begin a sentence, the first letter should be capitalized.

Footnotes

They should be in the "Footnote" style.

In-text Notes

In-text notes are bibliographic notes inserted directly into the text in parentheses.

For an author whose work you cite only once: (Author’s Last Name, Page), e.g., (Ela, 54).

For an author from whom you cite several works or articles:

(Author’s Last Name, Year of Publication: Page), e.g., (Amin, 1985: 54).

For an author from whom you cite several works or articles published in the same year: (Author’s Last Name, Year of Publication Letter: Page), e.g., (Ellul 1985a: 54).

Figures and Tables

Figures, illustrations, and tables should be incorporated into the text. Figures and illustrations should be numbered from 1 to n within the article, and tables should be numbered similarly. Explicit captions should accompany them ("Caption" style). Authors wishing to include illustrations must obtain reproduction permissions and attach them with the article submission (each illustration must be saved in high-definition JPEG format (300 dpi for photos) in a separate file).

Punctuation

For texts written in French:

• The following symbols [ : ; ? %] should have a non-breaking space before and a space after.

• The comma and the period should not have a space before them.

• Typographic quotation marks should have “a non-breaking space before.”

• The symbols: (parentheses), {curly brackets}, [square brackets] should not have spaces inside them.

• Ellipsis... (no space before).

• A space should be placed before and after the following symbols: = + -.

For texts written in English, the typography is different (no space before the symbols: ; ? % and “quotation marks” without a space).

Use Roman numerals for centuries following this format : I, II, III…

Bibliography

References should be compiled in the "Bibliography" style and listed at the end of the article following the APA format.
