Editorial standards of the journal

Submission of manuscripts

Files must be in Word or Open/Libre Office format and comply with the standards set out in this charter (if the standards are not met, the editorial board reserves the right to return the manuscript to the author for correction).

The article – which must be original and unpublished – must be submitted with a 7-8 line summary in French or in English (850 characters).

At the bottom of the summary, indicate the author’s position, institutional affiliation and place of attachment.

The article must be between 40,000 and 50,000 characters in length, including spaces and notes.

Articles for the main section (« Dossier ») and contributions to the second section (« Autour d’une source ») must be sent to the coordinator(s) of the issue.

Other contributions must be sent to the editor-in-chief.

For a quick overview of the journal’s editorial policy, all published issues can be consulted on the UMR 3400 ARCHE website.

Illustrations

Illustrations must be provided at the same time as the article with title, caption and references : author and title of the work, date of creation and location where it can be found if it is a reproduction.

Illustrations must be provided in separate files, indicating the desired position in the text (for layout reasons, these elements may be moved to the end of the articles if necessary).

Formats must be easily usable (e.g., .jpeg, not .ai, .pdf or .psd).

Resolution must be of 300 dpi.

The author must verify the rights related to reproduction and pay for them if necessary.

Fonts

If the manuscript requires the use of specific fonts, please indicate this by highlighting the passages.

Quotations

Quotations must correspond to the original text and be identified in a footnote. The author is responsible for their accuracy.

They remain in roman type unless they are quotations in a foreign language.

Short quotations are marked with double typographic quotes “…”.

Long quotations (more than 2 or 3 lines) are separated from the text by a line break and a left indent of 2.2. They should be in Times New Roman 11 font, without quotation marks.

Breaks in the quotation will be indicated by […].

For quotations within quotations, use single typographic quotes “…”.

Abbreviations

Abbreviations should be used in notes, never in the text.

Abbreviations specific to the author should be limited and accompanied by a list in the appendix so that they can be easily identified.

You can refer to this list ;

Final point and abbreviations

If an abbreviation appears at the end of a sentence, its abbreviation point and the final point at the end of the sentence are combined :
