Guidelines for Authors

1. Submission and Evaluation

1.1. Submission

The Contextes et Didactiques journal publishes texts in French, but contributions of major interest can be accepted in English, Spanish and Creole. Article submissions are made electronically to the coordinator(s) of the thematic issue (see Current Calls) and to the coordinators of the journal using the following address: contextes.didactiques[at]univ-antilles.fr. Articles can be sent after a specific “call for papers” or spontaneously for non-thematic publications.

All received articles follow the same double-blind evaluation process. The submission form of the article is a file in .doc, .docx, .txt, .rtf, .odt format sent as an attachment in an email. Submissions must respect the template available in Word format that can be downloaded (see Appendix 1). The text must not exceed 50,000 characters (spaces included). Each presentation must be submitted with a letter from the author stating that:

  • the manuscript is not and will not be subjected to another publication;

  • that all co-authors of the article have read and approved the submitted article.

1.2. Manuscript Selection

The manuscripts must be original and not be submitted simultaneously to another journal. Upon receipt, the articles are assigned to the editorial committee and the coordinators of the thematic issue for the conformity assessment to the editorial guidelines of the journal and to the theme of the “call for papers”, for the submitted articles within this framework.

Articles which fulfill the conditions of the first phase of the process are sent for anonymous assessment to the two experts from the scientific committee selected by the editorial board and/or non-scientific reviewers proposed by the coordinator (s)of the thematic issue. For this evaluation, the experts use an expert assessment tool (see Appendix 2). Both expert reports are returned to the author, usually within a period of two months after the receipt of the article by the editorial secretariat. In the case of two contradictory evaluations, the Editorial Committee reserves the right to submit the manuscript to a third expert. The final decision on the article is taken by the editorial committee and can be formulated in four different ways:

  • accepted for publication;

  • accepted for publication with minor modifications;

  • accepted for publication with major modifications;

  • rejected.

If the article is accepted with modifications, the author has one month to submit a revised version that can be subjected to a second evaluation in the case of major modifications. The Editorial Board reserves the right not to publish the revised version if it does not include the required modifications. The correspondence will be held with the first author listed in the submitted article.

1.3. Rights-of-Use

Once the article has been accepted for publication, a transfer of rights form is sent to the author (see Annex 3). This form is to be signed and returned to the Editorial Board before the publication of the article.

Authors who submit their articles to the journal "Contexts and Didactics" agree to publish their articles free of charge. They assign, free of charge and non-exclusive, the rights of paper and its electronic distribution allowing the journal to ensure the free and open distribution of their articles, as well as their sale on all media and formats, in accordance with the CC BY-NC license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.fr).

The authors have the right to disseminate, under the terms of of their choice, the articles published in the journal on the sole condition, as required by the Creative Commons license granted, that all bibliographic references will be included and the journal will be mentioned.
