Complying with typographical conventions specific to the languages used, especially regarding quotation marks and double punctuation marks, will receive particular attention.

Editorial standards

Stylistic conventions are those of the most recent version of the Chicago Manual of Style.

Submissions should be in Times Roman 12, double-spaced and left-justified.

Quotations that do not exceed three lines will be integrated into the body of the text between quotation marks in Times.

Roman 12 format. Quotations longer than three lines should be set off in Times Roman 10.

Three ellipsis points must indicate any deliberate omission of part of a quotation if the omission is in the middle of a sentence, or four if the omission concerns a complete sentence after the end of the previous one.

Quotations borrowed from a language other than the one in which the article is written must be translated to be integrated into the argument, and the original must appear in a footnote.

Tables or representations used during the argument should be captioned in continuous Arabic numerals: "Table 1", "Figure 2", etc. Numbers below 10 should be written in Arabic.

Numbers under ten should be spelled out. Depending on the language in which the article is written, figures with decimals, particularly percentages, should follow the usual presentation rules.

Dates and centuries should be written in Arabic numerals, with superscript -th suffixes: 19^th century. 20^th century periods should not be compressed: 1950s.

Words in the text in a language other than the original, especially Latin phrases, are indicated in italics.

Titles and intertitles must be clearly identified and presented as follows:

• level 1 title: small caps (title)
• level 2 title: italics (title)
• level 3 heading: standard (heading)

Footnotes

Footnotes should be used to refer to sources cited during the argument.

Each note must be generated using the "footnote" function of the text software used. Footnotes should be numbered consecutively, with each number in superscript. Acknowledgments, if any, should appear in the very first note.

It is not advisable to use several notes in the same sentence.

Each note referencing a source for the first time should include :

• - the first name and surname of the author of the source, the person responsible for the publication, the translation, etc.; in the case of multiple authors, use et al. for more than three;
• - the full title of the source (and, where applicable, the subtitle), between quotation marks if it is an article, a short story, etc., in italics if it is a book, a collection, etc. The rules for punctuating titles, which differ in French and English, must be respected;
• - for books only, the place of publication, the publisher, and the year of publication; for articles only, the volume number and the year of publication (if applicable, the season or month);
• - the page(s) of the source from which the quotation is taken.
• In subsequent references, only provide the name, an abbreviated version of the title, and the pagination. The use of Ibid, op. cit. (etc.) is not recommended.

The bibliography of articles and works cited should appear at the end of the article. It should be arranged alphabetically, with the author's name first, followed by their first name, and the usual bibliographical indications (cf. above). For articles, the overall pagination will be given.
