Guidelines for authors
Plan
Haut de pagePresentation of manuscripts
Manuscripts must be sent to the Editorial Office (address below) in PDF format, formatted with illustrations, before November 30.
In case of acceptance, the final version, taking into account the changes requested by the Committee, should be sent to the editorial office, separating text and images.
Authors will receive a word file with the detailed standards and a copy of the contract to be returned to the editorial office without delay (the standard contract is also available at this address: https://journals.openedition.org/antafr/4970?file=1).
The author should mention his or her name, address and the scientific organisation to which he or she belongs, as well as his or her official e-mail address, at the top of the notes. He/she should also indicate the date he/she wishes to see at the bottom of the article. When sending the paper, the author should indicate the e-mail address to which the proofs can be sent and the postal address. In addition, the author must undertake not to publish his or her article in another work (journal or collective volume). The author must also ensure that he/she has the necessary authorisations for all illustrations. After publication, the contribution is also published online on the OpenEdition Journals platform.
Text
The contribution, typed or composed in Word, will be saved in an RTF format file, formatted as follows: body of the document in standard style, Times font 12 pts, double-spaced, without manual hyphenation of words; footnotes inserted and numbered automatically (Menu: Insert, Footnote), Times font 10 pts single-spaced.
The author will attach to the contribution an abstract (10 lines maximum) in French and Arabic, and in the language of the article if different, as well as a bi-/trilingual list of keywords specifying the geographical location (country, Roman province, city), the theme, the date... For non-Arabic speaking authors, the translation will be provided by the editorial staff.
If special characters are used – texts containing Greek, Libyan, Arabic, etc. – it is essential to provide the fonts used and to indicate clearly on the paper proof the presence of each of these characters. The fonts will be in TrueType (TTF file) or OpenType (OTF file) format.
Bibliographical notes
Abbreviated, they should be presented as follows: the name of the author in small caps, the date of publication and, where appropriate, the number(s) of the page(s), figure(s) and plate(s) (e.g. Le Glay 1961, p. 219, fig. 6, pl. XIX).
Bibliography
It is grouped alphabetically, then chronologically, of the authors at the end of the manuscript.
-
For one volume: Le Glay M. 1961, Saturne africain. Monuments, I, Paris.
-
For an article: Lassus J. 1971, “La salle à sept apsides de Djemila-Cuicul”, AntAfr 5, p. 193-207.
Illustrations
All illustrations will be provided free of charge for both the print and online editions. When a crop is required, it will be done by the author.
Line figures will be provided on layers or digitally (specify formats and software used). When these include text, the font(s) used must be included (check the option “Include fonts in the document” when saving the file).
The list of captions will be grouped in a separate file and will specifically mention the provenance or the author of the illustration.
The source files of the illustrations (photographs, maps and diagrams) will be saved in one of the following formats: .tif, .png, .bmp, .eps, .svg, .ai or .psd, at a size and resolution sufficient for use without enlargement and for printing, i.e.:
-
300 dpi minimum for color images;
-
600 dpi minimum for grayscale images;
-
1200 dpi for line art.
The following are absolutely prohibited: illustrations and graphics directly inserted in a Word document ; low-resolution illustrations (less than 300 dpi) ; destructive compression formats (in particular, images in .jpg format).
Important: the illustrations must be prepared to the dimensions of the printable version: the page occupancy of AntAfr used for the printable version is 255 × 187 mm. An illustration therefore has two possible widths: 187 mm (full width on two columns) or 90 mm (1 column). The maximum height cannot exceed a full page of 255 mm.
