Instructions for Authors

Proposed contributions (articles, research notes, columns and book reviews) should be sent by email to remi@univ-poitiers.fr.
The texts (in English, French or Spanish) should be unpublished work. They will be anonymously peer reviewed by three reviewers.
The Editorial Board’s decision (acceptance, suggestions for improvements and changes, or rejection) will be
notified within six months of submission.
In accordance with established practice for academic journals, authors undertake not to submit their text to other journals while it is under consideration by the REMI editorial team.

Standards to be respected as a condition for acceptance of texts

- Articles have a target length of 55,000-70,000 characters.
- Research notes have a target length of 30,000-45,000 characters. They aim to highlight groundbreaking, exploratory research, emphasising the diversity of approaches to emerging topics. These have various objectives: to highlight exploratory research and/or a new research device; to develop an original methodology, or analysis of statistical productions; to present a topical issue.
- Book reviews have a target length of 6,000-8,000 characters.
- Columns (legal, current affairs, statistical studies or portfolios) have a target length of 10,000-20,000 characters.

Each text should include keywords, as well as the main title, in French, English and Spanish.
Articles and research notes should include abstracts in French, English, and Spanish (maximum 1,000 characters each).
The number of characters indicated (with spaces) includes the bibliography, footnotes, figures, annexes and abstracts.

A “checklist” summarising these standards is available on the journal’s website.
