Instructions for authors

The submission of an article for publication in an issue of the journal implies the author’s acceptance of the following conditions:

  • The author grants UGA Éditions, free of charge, the non-exclusive rights of use relating to their work or contribution, and authorises the dissemination of the final published version of their contribution in open access under the Creative Commons CC BY-SA 4.0 licence (or, where applicable, a more recent version of this licence). A non‑exclusive copyright transfer agreement will be sent to the author if the article is accepted for publication.

  • In the case of borrowed material (text, photograph, drawing, etc.) taken from a book or an article, the author must obtain the necessary permissions beforehand and submit them together with the typescript.

 

Use of artificial intelligence (AI)

The author may use generative artificial intelligence and AI-assisted technologies in the process of writing without mentioning it, only if it is used to punctually improve the language and style of the contribution. Any other use of AI in the elaboration of a text must be explicitly and transparently mentioned at the beginning of the article. This use must also be expressly authorized by the editorial board of the journal before the article is accepted for publication. In that case, the use of these technologies must be declared in a note by the author of the published work.

Our journal does not allow the use of generative AI tools to create, modify or manipulate the data and results of research. The use of technology is under the control of the author, who must carefully review and edit the results, for AI can generate incorrect, incomplete or biased results. The author is ultimately responsible for the scientific quality, the accuracy and the integrity of the information in his article.

The author is also meant to ensure that the work is original and does not infringe the rights of others. In consequence, and as a precaution, the use of AI to generate illustrations (or even slightly correct existing images) is not authorized, in order to limit uncertainties as to their use and not to infringe—even unintentionally—copyright.

1. Materials to be supplied by authors

— Two digital versions of the article (one in Word format and another in PDF—the latter serving as the reference in the case of non‑Latin characters and specific layouts) must be submitted to the issue coordinator(s) and will then be forwarded to the journal’s scientific board for review.

— In the case of an article submitted for publication in the varia section, please send your text to the scientific board, preferably in two versions: one anonymous, and the other including your name.

— At the beginning of the article (except in one of the two versions mentioned above), the author must indicate their full name and institutional affiliation, in accordance with the standardised authorship guidelines defined by their home institution.

— The article’s title must also be translated into English.

— All illustrations, whatever their nature (figures, tables), must be numbered and supplied as separate high-resolution files (300 dpi). Any specific fonts used should be provided together with the files. Each illustration must be accompanied by a title (and, if relevant, a caption and credit) and must be referred to in the text by a call number in parentheses.

— Authors are advised to supply images (or screenshots) for complex tables (or textual elements requiring specific alignment) that might otherwise lead to transcription errors during typesetting, or display issues in the online version published on the OpenEdition Journals platform.

— Articles must be written in French. All quotations in a foreign language (other than English) must be accompanied by a translation, either in a footnote or immediately following the quoted passage.

2. General formatting guidelines

— Articles must be submitted as a .doc or .docx file, not exceeding 2 MB in size (without loss of image quality, where applicable).

— Articles should be around 50,000 characters in length (including spaces and notes). In agreement with the issue coordinator and the journal’s scientific editors, articles may exceed this limit but must in no case exceed 80,000 characters.

— Subheadings: the hierarchy must be clearly indicated. Only level 1 and level 2 subheadings are permitted. The introduction and conclusion must also be clearly marked.

— The main title of the article must not contain a footnote. If a note is necessary, it should preferably appear in the body of the text or in an author’s note (using the “NDLA [author’s note]” style).

— Footnotes must be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals. They should serve to clarify the text: avoid too many or overly long notes (no more than 5 per paragraph).

— Bibliographical references must be given in full in footnotes; they may also be listed again in a bibliography at the end. A reference already given in full will be referred to again as “op. cit.” for a book, or “art. cit.” for an article; a second note referring to the immediately preceding reference will be abbreviated as “ibid.”

Quotations

Short quotations are included within the body of the text, while long quotations are placed in an indented paragraph and set in smaller type.

Any quotation in a foreign language (modern languages or Latin) is italicized and followed by its translation. Ancient Greek may be transliterated, italicized, and followed by its translation.

Spelling and punctuation

Please observe the following rules in a French text:

— Use accented capital letters: É, À;

— Use the superscript “e” for century indications: xe (and not Xème or Xème);

— Use a non‑breaking space:

  • before the four punctuation marks ! ? : ;

  • after abbreviations followed by numbers: p. 12, v. 28, no 30, § 11, vol. XIX, etc., and after century indications: e.g., xe s.;

  • with long dashes: insert a non‑breaking space after the first dash and before the second;

  • for page references: p. (not pp.), followed by a non‑breaking space.

 

Please observe the following rules in an English text:

— Use accented capital letters, if applicable: É, À;

— Write centuries in Arabic numerals without superscript: e.g., 18th century;

— No space before the four punctuation marks ! ? : ;

— Use the long dash (i.e. the em dash) to indicate an incision—such as this one—within a sentence (according to American English usage, here preferred, it is customary not to introduce a space before and after the long dash);

— Use a non‑breaking space:

  • after abbreviations followed by numbers: p. 12, v. 28, no. 30, § 11, vol. XIX, etc., and after century indications (e.g., 19th century);

  • for page references: “p.” for one page and “pp.” for several pages, followed by a non‑breaking space.
