  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

    You have obtained permission for any third party material that is used in the submission.

Author Guidelines

Form of Manuscript

All manuscripts must be submitted electronically in .rtf or .doc format. Notes should be numbered consecutively and follow the text of the article. The name of the author(s) should appear after the title and before the text of the article. A short biographical note of no more than 200 words should be included separately. Degrees, current and previous positions and major publications among other things may be noted.

Abstracts

A brief abstract (which must not exceed 200 words) of the content of the article should be prepared by the author.

Form of Citation

Manuscripts should normally conform to the standards outlined in The Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2010). Translations of passages in languages other than French or English should be provided in the text.

Illustrations

Photocopies or electronic format of visual material (with brief captions) must be submitted by authors for initial evaluation. Once an article has been accepted, the author is responsible for supplying clear glossy photos or high resolution graphic files, preferably (300 dpi TIFF images) of the illustrations, and for securing the permission to publish copyrighted material if necessary.
