Instructions to authors

Quaternaire is an international journal published by the AFEQ. Papers on all aspects of Quaternary research are accepted, multidisciplinary studies are recommended.

Short papers should not exceed 4-6 printed pages (including figures) and long papers should not exceed 15-20 printed pages (including figures). One printed page (size 21 x 29.7 cm) corresponds broadly to 6000 letters and spaces. The authors will be charged for exceeding pages (pages, pictures and tables).
