Author guidelines

Provide complete contact information (postal address, e-mail and telephone) for sending proofs and correspondence.

Presentation of articles

The Word file (.docx format) of the article should contain the following elements, in this order:

Title and subtitle of the article

  • Title and subtitle in English: the initial letter of the first word and of all nouns, pronouns (except the relative ‘that’), adjectives, verbs, adverbs and subordinating conjunctions (if, because, that …) is capitalized. The initial letter of articles (a, an, the), possessive determiners (‘my’, etc.), prepositions (about, at, before, between, by, from, in, on …) and co-ordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) is not capitalized, except in the first or last word of the title or subtitle. There is no manual line break or full stop.

  • Title and subtitle in French: the first word and proper names begin with a capital letter. There is no manual line break or full stop.

  • To compose or check English titles, please use the tool available online at https://capitalizemytitle.com (the preferred standard here is The Chicago Manual of Style).

Footnotes (number or asterisk) are not allowed in the title.

Name(s) of the author(s)

  • First name(s) and surname(s) of the author(s).

  • If the surname of the author is compound (e.g., ‘Philippe Le Moigne’ or ‘Enrique Mansutti Rodriguez’), you must add a non-breaking space between the two names: Mansutti°Rodriguez, or between the name and the particle: Le°Moigne.

  • Hubert de Vergnette de La Motte: to classify him as ‘V’ and not ‘M’ in the ‘index of authors’, put non-breaking spaces between Vergnette, de, La and Motte: Hubert de Vergnette°de°La°Motte.

Do not attach footnotes to the first name/surname of the author.

Information about the author(s)

Provide the following, with manual line breaks to separate the fields:

  • Institutional affiliation: research unit or service (abbreviation or acronym with the number for French units), institution attached to, city, country (indicate only one institution and specify, if necessary, in the expanded presentation).

  • ORCID identifier (https://orcid.org/), if the author has one.

  • Bio-bibliographic notice of 2‒3 sentences (700 characters maximum) in English and French. Mention very briefly academic background, areas of research, and major or recent publications.

  • E-mail address (institutional, preferably), in lower case, in the form: name[at]xxxx.fr

Abstract

  • The abstract should be 10‒15 lines (900‒1,500 characters maximum).

  • It is a stand-alone text summarizing the content of the article. It outlines the objective, main results and significant conclusions of the research. The abstract is very important for readers, search engines and databases: special care should be taken in writing it.

  • The abstract must neither be an introduction nor repeat the first paragraph(s) of the article.

  • The abstract should not contain paragraph breaks. It may contain manual line breaks.

  • Provide a French translation.

  • Do not include footnotes or bibliographic references.

Indexes

Keywords index

The keywords are intended to allow searches into the entire corpus of articles. Terms that are too specific do not fulfil this objective and are redundant with respect to the title, abstract and text. The French keywords are aligned with the English list.

Write the keywords in the singular, without an initial capital letter, separated by commas and without a full stop:

  • five keywords in English

  • five keywords in French

  • Do not use quotation marks, italics, small caps and superscript letters (these formattings are not supported by the OpenEdition electronic publishing software used for the Bulletin).

Keywords should be chosen first from the list of keywords already in use: https://journals.openedition.org/crcv/10075

Observe the spelling and typographical rules of each language.

Persons index

The persons may be historical or mythological figures, artists, etc.

  • Clement XII, Augustus II of Poland, Le Nôtre (André), Clairambault (Pierre de), Farnese (Alessandro), Frederick I of Prussia

Translation and quality of metadata

If you are unable to provide a French translation of the title, abstract, author description and keywords, please let us know.

The metadata (title, abstract, keywords) is used by search engines, library catalogues, professional databases and open archive sites. High-quality metadata is essential for the dissemination of scholarly work published in the Bulletin.

The full text

  • The text will be in Times New Roman, size 12, line spacing 1.5, with a first-line indent of 1.25 cm (no tabulation), format 21 cm × 29.7 cm (A4); 2.5 cm margins (top, bottom, left, right).

  • Do not separate paragraphs with empty lines.

  • Number the level headings: 1…; 1.1…; 1.2…; 2…; 2.1…; 2.2…

  • Capitalize, in title case, chapter headings (in collective publications) and main headings (article title/subtitle).

  • Capitalize subheadings in sentence case.

  • Example:

Article title: Between Proximity and Distance: Travels of the German High Nobility to the French Court at the Turn of the Eighteenth Century

Article subheadings:
1. The protagonists: Karl and Wilhelm von Hessen-Kassel
2. A closer look at Karl and Wilhelm’s travels
3. The journey of Karl and Wilhelm compared with the travels of other German princes
4. Political implications of the Prinzenreise

  • Do not put a full stop or colon at the end of a heading or subheading.

  • Indicate references to figures in the text as follows to indicate the desired location of the illustrations: (fig. 1), (fig. 2), etc.

Acknowledgements

Acknowledgements (persons, structures, research programmes, etc.) are given at the beginning of the article. Do not include them as a footnote or in any other way.

Author’s note

Use the author’s note to add specific details about the article. See for example: https://journals.openedition.org/crcv/26920.

Introduction

Sets out the context/state of the art, issue, objectives of the study and means of implementing them, and plan of the article.

Development and headings

The article should be organized into several parts (at least two subheadings are needed to constitute a part) and subparts, and should state the methodology and sources used. Do not exceed three levels of headings.

Conclusion

Generally includes a summary of the major conclusions of the study and a broadening of the subject to other, unaddressed questions.

Final bibliography and footnotes

  • The article must include a bibliography at the end of the text, listing all the references used in the notes.

  • The bibliography should include only publications (printed sources/studies) used by the author and cited in the notes.

  • Notes should be at the bottom of the page: the references used are cited in the form: ‘author, date, page(s)’.

  • There is no ‘Sources’ section in the OpenEdition Journals’ editorial model. The ‘Bibliography’ section should be subdivided into subsections as needed (‘Primary sources’, ‘Printed sources’, ‘Studies’ …): https://journals.openedition.org/crcv/26920#bibliography.

Annexes

The article may have one or more appendices which present certain important elements (transcriptions of sources, results in the form of tables or figures, diagrams, additional studies, etc.). These annexes must be provided in a separate Word file (or possibly Excel for figures). Do not provide PDF or other file formats.

Formatting

Spelling

  • Follow British English rather than American English spelling. Words ending in –our are spelled ‘honour’, ‘valour’ (rather than American-English ‘honor’, ‘valor’).

  • But use -ize and not -ise (organization, utilized, criticize, emphasize, organize, recognize).

  • Acronyms and abbreviations should be explained or spelled out at their first mention in the text.

  • The apostrophe and an additional ‘s’ should be used for the possessive form of singular proper names ending in ‘s’ (e.g., Charles’s, Francis’s).

Dates

  • Decades without an apostrophe: the 1930s (not 1930’s).

  • ad, bc, not a.d., b.c.

  • 19 May 1586, 20–22 February 1603; June 1525.

  • Centuries should be written out in full (‘in the sixteenth century’).

  • Century: singular or plural. When referring to two or more centuries together, use the plural ‘centuries’ if the names of the centuries are joined by and or through (used in American English). Use the singular century if they are joined by or, to or a dash.

    • in the fourteenth and eighteenth centuries

    • in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries

    • throughout the fifth and sixth centuries

    • between the fourth and sixth centuries

    • The style was revived during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

    • between the seventeenth and the early twentieth centuries

    • The seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries shaped the postcolonial world of the twentieth century.

    • in the fifth through eighth centuries

    • The medieval period lasted from the fifth through fifteenth centuries in Europe.

    • it spanned the fifth to the fifteenth century

    • from the twentieth to the twenty-first century

    • from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century

    • Occitan, the medieval or modern language of Languedoc, includes literary Provençal of the twelfth to (the) fourteenth century.

    • Did Jane Austen live and write in the eighteenth or the nineteenth century?

    • eighteenth- and nineteenth-century technologies

    • ‘European Court Societies, 16th‒19th Century’

Foreign words

  • Accents and italics should not be used for words fully adopted into English, such as role, regime, elite; sgraffito, trompe l’oeil, stucco.

  • Diacritics in French words passed into English: château (but facade).

  • Names of French kings should be in their French form: Philippe, Henri.

  • Names of foreign kings and queens should normally be in their English form where one exists (Charles V, Catherine the Great, Francis I, Henry IV, Ferdinand and Isabella). Those names for which no English form exists (Sancho, Haakon) or for which the English form is archaic (Lewis, Alphonse) should retain their foreign form. Exceptions exist for names that are normally seen in English in their original, for various reasons, such as Carlos II of Spain, or Ludwig of Bavaria.

  • Transliterations into Roman script (e.g., from Russian, Greek, Chinese, Arabic) should be done in the most generally used modern English form (e.g., Romanov not Romanoff, tsar not czar, caliph not khalīfah, shah not šāh). If exceptions are made, they should be consistent within the article.

  • French place names are capitalized: The demonstration reached the Place de la Nation.

  • Names of French institutions and organizations kept in French are capitalized:

    • Charles Maurras was the leader of Action Française.

    • Académie Française, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Archives Nationales de France (or the French National Archives), Ministère de la Culture (or the French Ministry of Culture), École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Palais des Beaux-Arts.

Numbers

  • Page numbers are elided and take an en dash: 4–7, 8–13, 20–7, 34–76, 104–6, 136–42.

  • 7th edition (not 7th edition); 2nd Earl of Sunderland (not 2nd Earl of Sunderland).

  • Numbers should be written out up to one hundred, and thereafter given as figures (seventy-three, 107).

  • Also write out: numbers at the start of sentences; numbers in close proximity to other written-out numbers (to avoid: ‘ninety-five soldiers and 105 sailors joined the ship’); and numbers used approximately.

  • Numbers of four digits or more should have commas (2,000). Inclusive numbers should be in the shortest pronounceable form: pp. 123‒7, pp. 250‒63.

  • Precise measurements and money should be in figures: 1 yard 3 inches; £1 2s 6d.

  • Percentages should be in figures, with ‘per cent’ spelled out (15 per cent); use % only in tables.

  • No ‘s’ in plural: 5 kg not 5 kgs.

  • Always put a number on either side of a decimal point, e.g., 0.6 (not .6).

Capitalization of initial letter of words

  • ‘biblical’, ‘scripture’ and ‘holy scripture’ are not capitalized; specific books of the Bible are capitalized (see CMS 15.51–54).

  • Pronouns for the deity are not capitalized.

  • Use upper-case initial letters for titles and holders of office when directly associated with a specific individual, especially when the title is used on its own:

    • the King corresponded regularly with other European kings

    • the Queen had to learn how to act like a queen

    • Churchill became prime minister for the second time in 1951

    • the Chancellor of the Exchequer criticized earlier chancellors of the Exchequer

    • Use ‘duke of Devonshire’, but capitalize ‘Duke’ when it stands alone and refers to a specific person. So, ‘a duke of Devonshire’ (generic), or ‘the dukes of Devonshire’, or even ‘the duke of Devonshire’ (specific), but ‘the Duke’

    • The Archbishop was scathing about some previous archbishops of Canterbury

    • A title is capitalized when directly preceding a proper name: Archduke Charles, Countess Chiara di Malpetta, Baroness Clifford

  • French titles of nobility in lower case: the duc de Liancourt, the comte d’Artois, the duchesse de Polignac.

  • Generic institutions, household or government departments or offices, and principal and unique rooms in palaces and other important buildings should always have upper-case initial letters: the State, the Crown, Parliament, the Foreign Office, the House of Lords, the Exchequer, the Senate, the State Department, the Bedchamber, the Master of the Horse, the Office of Works, the Privy Chamber (but ‘the court’ is lower case, as is ‘royal’ when used as a generic adjective: the royal appetite).

  • Most adjectives such as ‘medieval’ and ‘early modern’ are not capitalized, but ‘Middle Ages’, ‘Renaissance’ and ‘Reformation’ are capitalized.

  • Northern Ireland, but northern England; The West, Western Europe, etc., but western England.

Italics

Italics may be used sparingly for emphasis (e.g., to add emphasis to a quoted passage). Do not use quotation marks for emphasis.

Apostrophe

Thomas’s, Jones’s, but Moses’, Bridges’: i.e., when the word ending is pronounced ‘iz’, use an apostrophe only.

Comma

A comma should not be used before the final ‘and’ in a list of more than two items (red, white and blue), unless the elements of the list are complex and the meaning might be misconstrued.

Hyphen

  • Hyphenate words where mispronunciation might otherwise arise (co-ordinate, co-operation, re-edit, no-one).

  • Hyphens should be used in compound adjectives and adverbs (sixteenth-century literature, slow-sailing vessel, well-known books).

  • A website but web-page; e-mail (rather than email).

  • Compound adjectives take a hyphen, not a dash: ‘Sino-Soviet relations’, but ‘the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact’.

En dash

The en dash (en rule, short dash) is used to indicate a span or a differentiation and may be considered a substitute for ‘and’ or ‘to’:

the England–France match

the 1939–45 war

2 January–13 February

pp. 81–101

When referring to a period of time, use the form ‘between 1826 and 1850’ or ‘from 1826 to 1850’.

Use en dashes with a space on either side to enclose parenthetical statements, or singly to denote a break in the sentence:

The selection under examination here – they are too numerous to be dealt with in their entirety – aims to shed new light …

Quotations

Quotation marks

  • Long quotations of more than three lines are separated from the text and indented, without quotation marks.

  • Short quotations inside the text are within single quotes: ‘Quoted text’.

  • Quotations within the quoted text should be indicated by double quotation marks: ‘quoted text “quoted text within quoted text” quoted text’.

  • For references or drawing special attention to conventional concepts (that you do not subscribe to), for ‘so-called’ things, or wrong but commonly applied names, use double quotation marks.

  • Examples:

    • He said: ‘Donne may have written that “No man is an island”, but he was certainly not thinking of the isolation of a monarch’s life.’

    • This was, as the Duke put it, ‘a profoundly eccentric proposition’.

    • His view was clear: ‘The book under discussion breaks new ground.’

    • We learn that ‘Miss Brooke had a beauty heightened by poor dress’.

    • The King’s question was simple: ‘Have the people gone mad?’.

    • “Albericus” (for an author whose identity is unclear, but who is in scholarly literature frequently called “Albericus”; through using double quotation marks you demonstrate awareness of that problem);

    • “Aphrodite’s temple” (for a temple that was/is supposed to have been dedicated only to Aphrodite);

    • “normal” gendered behaviour (through the quotation marks you indicate that you talk about certain conventional ideas with respect to gendered behaviour, but that you do not personally agree with these ideas).

  • See: https://www.mhra.org.uk/style/contents.html.

Omissions in quotations

  • Omissions within prose quotations should be marked by an ellipsis ‒ three points within square brackets: […].

  • No not use: ... (without brackets) or .... (more dots) or (...) or <...>.

  • It is not normally necessary to use an ellipsis at the beginning or end of a quotation; almost all quotations will be taken from a larger context and there is usually no need to indicate this obvious fact unless the sense of the passage quoted is manifestly incomplete.

Translations of quotations

Quotations in foreign language should be translated into English; the translation is given either within the paragraph after the quotation, or in the footnote.

If using your own translation in several places, use one of the following:

Unless otherwise noted, all translations are the author’s.

or

All translations are the author’s (at the first appearance).

Ellipsis dots

I’m dreaming …

References and footnotes

  • Footnote references should be placed, whenever possible, at the end of a sentence and always after adjacent punctuation marks.

  • The original language should be used for the names of institutions such as universities, libraries and museums, except where there is an English equivalent in common use. (The University of Cologne; The Royal Library, Copenhagen.)

  • Ibid., after references that cite the title previously mentioned; do not use idem, loc. cit. or op. cit.

  • cf. (roman, not italic): note that cf. means ‘compare’, not ‘see’.

  • fos for ‘folios’, not ff. which means ‘following’.

  • Use full stops after abbreviations (e.g., i.e., etc., ibid., v., Ph.D., vol., ed., p.m., pp., Prof., ev., ed.) except ‘per cent’ (two words).

  • Do not use a full stop after units of measurement (kg, mm, cm), contractions (vols, eds, ills, Dr, Mrs, Mr, Ltd: i.e., where the first and last letters are given) except ‘no.’ for ‘number’, or initials (BBC, DNA, GMT, NATO, USA, ICI, TV) except name initials which should also be spaced (T. S. Eliot, A. J. Smith).

  • Archival sources should use the following order: place, reference no. of document, status of document, author, title, date, page no.: e.g., Public Record Office, London (hereafter PRO), T235/134, MAC (52) 153, memo by C. Cottrell, ‘Money’, 6 August 1952, p. 2.

  • Manuscript collection: British Library, Additional MS 2787.

Abbreviations

  • 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th: first, second, third, fourth …

  • ad: anno domini

  • bc: before Christ

  • cf. (roman, not italic): note that cf. means ‘compare’, not ‘see’

  • no., nos: number, numbers

  • p., pp.: page, pages

  • Prof.: Professor

  • St: Saint

  • r: recto

  • v: verso

  • vol., vols: volume, volumes

Note on gender bias

  • Avoid using terms and phrases that might be taken to express gender, racial or other bias, unless their use is clearly justified by the context.

  • Use ‘he or she’, and ‘her or him’ (note alphabetical order); do not refer to objects or places (such as ships and countries) as ‘she’: use ‘it’.

Checking of proper names

To harmonize the spelling of proper names, consult the authority records (names of persons and geographical names):

Final bibliography

Library catalogues

Care should be taken to verify the accuracy of the bibliographic data using the following library catalogues:

General rules

  • The bibliography includes the list of cited references (monographs, collective works, journal articles, theses, editions of sources, etc.), in alphabetical order of authors, and for each author in ascending chronological order of their publications.

  • If the bibliography includes several titles by the same author, do not use a dash for the author’s name, but repeat the name so that the Bilbo software (Automatic Annotation of Bibliographical References) can recognize the bibliographic entries and affix a possible DOI to them.

  • Always give the city of publication and name of publisher.

  • Archival references and press and magazine articles will remain in notes.

  • If four authors or more, use ‘et al.’ in the notes. Give all names in the bibliography.

  • Use ‘in press’ for publications not yet published.

  • Entries are arranged alphabetically by the last name of the first author. Alphabetize using the letter-by-letter system, in which an entry for ‘Fernández Angelines’ would come before the entry for ‘Fernán Gómez Fernando’ (d in ‘Fernández’ comes before G in ‘Gómez’).

  • When multiple references have an identical author (or authors) and publication year, include a lower-case letter after the year (1998a, 1998b, 1998c, etc.). In cases like this, list the sources in alphabetical order by title in your reference list.

  • To cite more than one reference in a footnote, separate the references by semicolons. If the works are by the same author, use just the year and separate with a comma.

    • Note: Smith, 2016; Lee, 2015.

    • Note: Smith 2016, 2013; Lee, 2015.

  • If there is no author, use the first word of the title of the work (excluding The, A, An).

Differences between British English/American English

Full stops (periods)

  • Mr., Mrs., Ms. Dr., E.U.: all take full stops in American English.

  • Mr, Mrs, Ms, Dr, EU: in British English the full stops are omitted.

Serial or Oxford comma

In British English, the Oxford comma is placed before the coordinating conjunction (usually ‘and’ or ‘or’) in a list of three or more items.

Time

  • British usage has a full stop between the hours and minutes when writing the time (e.g., 10.30).

  • American usage has a colon (e.g., 10:30).

Dates

  • American English: 12/5/2010 for December 5, 2010. Comma: The new ACUP board was appointed on Tuesday, January 24.

  • British English: 12/5/2010 for May 12, 2010. No comma: The new ACUP board was appointed on Tuesday 24 January.

Quotation marks

  • American style uses double quotes (“) for initial quotations, then single quotes (‘) for quotations within the initial quotation. Full stops and commas are inside the closing quotation mark, although placement of other forms of punctuation (e.g., dashes, question marks, exclamation points) depends on whether they pertain to the quote itself.

  • British style uses single quotes (‘) for initial quotations, then double quotes (“) for quotations within the initial quotation. Punctuation is placed according to what is known as ‘logical punctuation’, i.e., punctuation is only placed before the closing quotation mark when it forms part of the sentence being quoted.

See: Wikipedia, ‘Comparison of American and British English’, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_American_and_British_English.

Illustrations

Graphics and tables

  • Simple tables are created directly in Word (Insert > Table). Large or complex tables can be supplied separately in image format.

  • For graphics, provide the source files (Excel or equivalent) and the images derived from the source file.

Images

  • Do not embed the illustrations in the Word file.

  • Images must be supplied in TIFF, PNG or JPEG format and named as follows: Martin_FIG001; Martin_FIG002, etc.
