Submission Guidelines
1. Along with their texts, authors should also submit:
a) an abstract of their article in both English and French (approximately 5 to 10 lines of text);
b) a biographical note (approximately 5 lines of text) that reflects the author’s professional status and a list of important publications.
2. Authors should:
a) indicate, on the first page of their manuscript: 1) the title of the essay, 2) their full name, 3) their institutional affiliation;
b) format their manuscript as follows: all pages should be typewritten or printed in 12- point Times font; the text should be fully justified and printed on the reverse side only; footnotes should be set in 10-point Times and single-spaced. All bibliographical references should be integrated in the footnotes, with care taken to include precise page numbers; superscript footnote numbers should appear in the text at the proper place (i.e., as soon as the reference in question is brought into the discussion);
c) limit their final manuscripts to a maximum of twenty pages (double-spaced), which corresponds to 6,000 words or 40,000 signs (including spaces). You may exceed the word limit by 1,000 words at your discretion. If you foresee a substantially longer text, please contact us before you proceed;
