Submissions 

Proposals must be sent via email both to the editorial board, to the following address: rss@misha.fr, and to the scientific head(s) of the section, whose contact information features in the call for papers.

For sections devoted to a specific theme, authors are requested to first submit a brief proposal of a maximum of 4,000 characters spaces included, indicating the title of the proposal, the theoretical framework, the corpus, the field, and the methodological approach. This summary must also include a bibliography (not included in the 4,000 characters and a bio-bibliography of the author(s).

Documents must be sent in attachment, in Word format (*.doc) or Rich Text Format (*.rtf). It is also possible to attach other documents (tables, graphs, images in jpg, audio or video recordings for the online version).

Authors who send in a proposal commit to withholding from submitting the same proposal to any other publication for as long as they are in connection with the Revue des Sciences Sociales. In case of withdrawal of a proposal, authors must inform the review as soon as possible and submit a justification for their withdrawal.

The contents of published articles are exclusively the responsibility of the authors.

Evaluation of submissions

Submitted articles will be sent for anonymous evaluation to two readers. The readers will give separate evaluations. The copy they receive does not bear the author’s identity, and authors cannot ask to be informed of the identity of their readers. After the readers have given their evaluation, the authors will be informed as soon as possible of the editorial board’s decision by the editors in chief.

Rejected proposals will not be saved or returned.

For articles to be published in the miscellaneous section there is a three-month period between the reception of the article and the notice of acceptance or refusal.
