Rules for publication

Submit a proposal

To submit an article for a themed issue or the annual varia issue, please use our OJS editorial platform:

https://ojs.mshparisnord.fr/index.php/RGA

To be accepted, articles must be original, comply with the editorial line and follow the instructions below.

A step-by-step guide to help authors through the submission process is available here:

The journal team will be happy to assist authors throughout the process.

Authors whose articles are accepted undertake to rework their text in line with the reviewers' recommendations. Secondly, they agree to take into account any changes requested by the editorial co-ordinators and accept that the editors will bring their articles into line with the journal's standards and correct spelling and style.

Articles must be unpublished and in two languages

An article can be submitted in English, French, Italian, German or Spanish; but the author(s) must arrange for translation into English, once the article has been accepted for publication. If the article is submitted in English, the translation must be in French, Italian, German or Spanish. Figures, maps, and tabs must be translated as well.

Each version must not exceed 30,000 characters (spaces included, excluding abstract and bibliography). An electronic copy in Word format must be provided.

The text must be accompanied by an abstract, for each versions, of 2000 characters (spaces included), followed by 4 or 5 explicit keywords.

The bibliography must be the same for both versions and must not exceed 40 titles (see below for presentation).
Titles must be short and informative.

The author of any translation must be cited.

Illustrations

Illustrations should be submitted apart.

They must be of perfect quality, requiring no touching up by the Editorial Committee.
They must be free of rights.
Illustrations must be provided in a separate electronic file (not in body of text):

Titles, legends and sources must be provided in each language, apart from the picture, at the place chosen for the illustration.

Each figure must therefore be submitted in 2 versions.

Bibliographical references

Bibliographical references must be mentioned in the text (name, publication date) and not in footnotes.

The full reference must then be given in the bibliography at the end of the article with the following presentation:

To help you create a standardised bibliography, a Zotero style is available. In Zotero, click on “styles”, then “obtain other styles” in the window that opens and search for JAR RGA.

Articles that do not respect these requirements will be returned to their authors.

Finally, any contributor submitting an article and accepting its publication:
