Instructions for authors

1. Submission of articles

Articles are to be sent in electronic format (Word) to the following address: revue-pistes@uqam.ca.

Articles must be submitted by the main author.

Articles must be written in French. Authors can publish the same article in French and English (translation is the authors’ responsibility).

Any inquiry concerning article submission should be directed to: revue-pistes@uqam.ca.

2. Formatting of articles

Articles must be produced with MS-Word software. Articles are presented in single-spaced letter format (21.59 x 27.94), with 2.5-cm margins and a legible typeface such as Times or Times New Roman in a 12-point print. The articles are sent in electronic format by e-mail. Articles printed on paper are not accepted. The suggested length of an article is 40,000 characters (including spaces and excluding the bibliography).

Avoid formatting; it complicates our editing work. Styles (automatic spacing, pre-formatting) should not be used. Pages should be numbered.

Articles must be organized as follows:

  • Title in French

  • Sub-title

  • First author

  • Affiliation of first author

  • Second author

  • Affiliation of second author (and so on)

  • Abstract in French, 150 words

  • Five keywords in French

  • Title in English

  • Abstract in English, 150 words

  • Five keywords in English

Other than these instructions, there are no particular requirements for the presentation of the article. That being said, authors are strongly encouraged to use numbered sections and subsections with titles that are as easy to understand as possible (numbering: 1, 1.1, 1.1.1; avoid titles that are too long).

3. Formatting of article text

  • Align the text to the left and justify.

  • Bold and italic characters can be used to emphasize particular elements in the article, but they should be used parsimoniously.

  • Acronyms for institutions, etc. are written in capital letters without periods, e.g., INRS, CNRS, UQAM, etc. Institutional acronyms must be stated at the first occurrence of the institution in the text.

  • Quotations are put in a separate, detached paragraph in quote marks with a left indent and a line space before and after.

  • Footnotes must be used to provide information that complements the content of a sentence rather than to reference an article or a report.

  • Tables, figures, and images must respect the above-mentioned formatting characteristics, be directly integrated in the text at the place chosen by the author (between two paragraphs) and, if relevant, employ legends that explain the essential elements to which they are referring. Figures must be in .png with a size of 3 000 pixels minimum. Jpeg format can be used in exceptional cases, but this entails a loss of visual quality. Tables must be inserted in the text in MS-Word format, not in an image format.

  • Do not use the TAB function and other special characters; they complicate the editorial work.

  • Do not use landscape format.

4. Bibliographic references

In the main text of the article, the names of the authors and the year of publication appear in parentheses. A complete list of all the quoted papers comes at the end of the article, with the authors' names in alphabetical order.
