Guidelines to authors

Version française

Editorial Procedures and Norms

The Journal des Anthropologues publishes original articles in print and online. Two years following publication, these articles can be found in an “open access” database in the public domain, meaning authors are under obligation to waive their copyrights.

Each article proposal is the subject of an initial evaluation by the team responsible for each thematic dossier or section; they may request changes before transmitting the proposal to the editorial board or decline the submission.

The editorial board designates two rapporteurs, one internal and one external. In the event of divergent opinions, a third reading is requested. On this basis, the drafting committee takes its decision (accepted as is; suggestions of modifications; accepted with some revisions; refusal).

Important observation: the Journal does not anonymize the papers or their assessments. [ne pas rajouter la dernière phrase qui manque ici]

  • The Journal accepts inclusive writing. The choice of adopted standards is yours to make, but must be coherent throughout the article.

  • Articles may include two good quality illustrations with clear captions: photos, maps, drawings, graphics, etc. (choices will be made jointly with the persons in charge of the section).

Thematic Dossier

For each issue, the “dossier” brings together a set of unpublished articles organized around a theme developed in a call for papers [link ].

Items must not exceed 40,000 characters (spaces, title, keywords, abstracts in English and French included). They may include images (to be defined with Release Managers).

They are to be sent to the member coordinator team and copied to the following address: secretariat.af01 _AT_ gmail.com

Visual Anthropology

This section contains articles that address the contributions of documentary cinema, fiction films and television productions to anthropology, along with theoretical articles concerning the use of film, multimedia, photography or performance as supports for creating or retrieving anthropological data.
