RULES FOR SUBMITTING ENGLISH LANGUAGE MANUSCRIPTS
In order for an article to appear in the best conditions, the REMMM editorial team requests that authors submit manuscripts as an attached document to a standard email (although paper submissions will be considered), written according to the following guidelines :
1. VOLUME OF ARTICLE
The Revue des Mondes Musulmans et de la Méditerranée must follow strict editorial guidelines with respect to length. Papers should be no longer than 15 pages or 45000 characters, including spaces, footnotes, bibliography and illustrations. (A printed page of the review has about 3200 characters). The Editorial Board reserves the right to refuse any article that does not meet this guideline.
.
2. TITLE PAGE AND META TAG
The text itself begins on page two to facilitate the anonymization for purpose of expertise by the reading committee. The first page (title page) gives the following information : title of article in french and in english, Abstract in French and in English of about 1 000 characters, key words in French and in English, name of the author, institutional affiliation, email address, postal address and personal telephone number. If the authors don’t want their email address to appear on the publication, they must inform the journal.
3. CHARACTER FONT AND TRANSLITERATION
Authors using transliterated foreign words and names must absolutely use a unicode font, otherwise transliterations will not be taken into account, whether in the printed or online version.
Transliteration is usually done according to the rules, a copy of which is attached herewith, and which authors will find detailed in the journal. For most recent periods, terms and proper names more often appear in the accepted common transcription (notably for press usage). In such cases, we shall use the simpler form which is more directly understandable by the reader.
4. NOTES
The notes will be limited in number, as much as possible, reduced to the essential. They will be presented in continuous numbering. We will not put the bibliographical references in the notes, but abbreviated throughout the text (see below). However, the references to newspaper articles that do not have their place in the bibliography may be included in the notes.
5. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES IN THE TEXT
The bibliographic references in the text will be presented as follows : "The ancestor of the Muslims jewellery is a type of ornament worn by the Achaemenid Persians" (Gonzalez, 1994 : 97). The citation thus includes the name of the cited author, the year of publication of the document, and if necessary the page(s). The full reference will be given once only in the final bibliography (and not in the notes).
6. PUNCTUATION
The standard rule is that ellipses or triple signs ( . , ...) immediately follow the word that precedes it. For authors submitting papers in English, colons, semi-colons, exclamation and interrogation marks should also immediately follow the word.
7. NUMBERS
Must be written without spaces and as follows : 70 %, 77mm, 1,700,000 (Numbering punctuation will be adjusted when adapting texts for translation.)
8. ORDINAL NUMBERS/CENTURIES
When abbreviating, use “th” on the baseline of the text (5th). When speaking of a century, use the abbreviation “c.” as in “14c.” Roman numerals are shown in lowercase.
9. QUOTES, USE OF QUOTATION MARKS AND ITALICS
Quotations in French are always shown enclosed between double brackets, « … », and in Roman characters. When the quotation exceeds one or two lines, the text should be preceded by a carriage return and the entire quotation indented 1 cm to the right and to the left of the margins. Offset and indented text should be in lower case type.
Italics are used to offset foreign words or expressions. When these terms are commonly used (or if they appear in the dictionary), use Roman characters.
10. BIBLIOGRAPHY
Bibliographical references will be grouped at the end of the article and presented in alphabetical order based on the LAST NAME and according to the usage practices of the language in which the reference was created as follows :
For the work of a single author : FAMILY NAME or LAST NAME (written in ALL CAPS) Name or First Name (written with Only Initial in capital) , Date, Title of the book or of the journal (in italics)
BENNANI-CHRAÏBI Mounia Maria, 1994, Soumis et rebelles : les jeunes au Maroc, Paris, CNRS Editions.
For the work of multiple authors :
CHAMBERT-LOIR Henri et GUILOT Claude (dir.), 1995, Le culte des saints dans le monde musulman, Paris, Presses de l'École française d'Extrême-Orient.
Dissertations will show the author first, followed by the name of the thesis supervisor (director or dir.) as follows :
CHAMBERT-LOIR Henri et GUILLOT Claude (dir.), 1995, Le culte des saints dans le monde musulman, Paris, Presses de l'École française d'Extrême-Orient.
For an article in a review or in a collective work, double brackets or quotation marks will be used as is the custom in the language in which the citation was originally consulted, title of the journal or the collective book will be in italics :
BADIE Bertrand, 1993, « Ruptures et innovations dans l'approche sociologique des relations internationales », Remmm 68-69, Aix-en-Provence, Edisud, p. 65-74.
CHODKIEWICZ Michel, 1995, « La sainteté et les saints en islam », Chambert-Loir, Henri et Guillot, Claude (dir.), Le culte des saints dans le monde musulman, Paris, Presses de l'École française d'Extrême-Orient.
Bibliographic references must be complete upon submission to avoid delays : place of publication, publisher, volume or pagination…
11. ILLUSTRATIONS (file, format)
Specifications regarding the positioning of various illustrations (maps, drawings, photographs, reproductions…) whether within a text or independently of the text must be stated at the beginning of the manuscript. Illustrations must be captioned and, if appropriate, cite relevant sources.
Illustrations should be submitted in a separate file in the original format (.jpg /.tif/ .eps) For each image it is crucial to provide a digital file of good quality (high definition, 300 dpi minimum). They should not be inserted into a Word document.
About the format of the illustrations, please note that it's important to pay attention to the layout of the journal, and therefore its format, which is not expandable. All illustrations must respect the maximum format of 115 mm x 185 mm (legends included). Authors must pay attention to the readability of the illustration (maps, draws…) in case its dimension is changed and reduced to this maximum printed format.
12. SHIPPING AND CORRESPONDENCE
Texts should be submitted as an electronic document in MSWord format attached to an email message addressed to the REMMM editorial board at remmm@mmsh.univ-aix.fr.
The REMMM editorial team thanks you.
