Only original articles will be published by the journal. The author must refrain from submitting their article to another journal or volume as long as the manuscript is under review with Apparences.
Upon reception, submissions are double blind peer reviewed by members of the scientific committee or by external reviewers qualified in the field.
Apparence is an electronic journal. Articles published online are subject to the same type of copyright law as a paper journal. Authors are to make sure their contribution does not breach copyright law.
Format
Submissions should be approx. 6000-word long finished articles – this includes all footnotes and captions. The electronic format, however, allows if appropriate and deemed relevant by the scientific committee, to create links to external documents.
Documents and illustrations published by the journal must not be in breach of copyright law so any reproduction fee to ensure copyright clearance for an electronic academic journal needs to be cleared by the authors. The journal cannot pay for contributors’ image clearance rights. When appropriate, and to reduce costs incurred by authors, please note that it is sometimes possible to include in the article a link to a museum website for instance.
Formatting
All documents are to use the ‘Normal’ style in Word (.doc), use Times font 12 points and single spacing.
Please do not use any of the formatting tools of word (no tabulations, no ‘styles’…). All the formatting will be done at the layout stage before the issue is published online.
If you have subtitles (no more than 2 levels please) please number and indicate your subtitles still in Times 12 as such
1. Title of the first section
1.1 Title of the first subsection

Please use footnotes rather than endnotes.
The text of footnotes should be in Times 10 font single spacing. Please ensure your footnotes are complete.

Citations in a different language or using archaic spelling or syntax that is difficult for a non-specialist to understand should be translated. If the citation is over 10-12 words long, the translation is to go in the main text in double quotation marks and the original in a footnote. For shorter insertions, the original can be inserted in double quotation marks in the text, followed by a translation in brackets.
