Manuscript
Presentation
Authors
are requested to submit four copies of their manuscripts and must
provide a summary of approximately 100 words. A French translation
of that summary should also be provided, if possible.
Manuscripts
should not exceed 50 pages of standard-length paper. The text should
be double-spaced. The tables, quotations and footnotes should also
be double-spaced and placed at the end of the manuscript.
The
title page should include the title of the article, the full name
of the author, and his or her academic address.
Tables,
graphs, figures, and illustrations referred to in the text should
have appropriate titles or captions and should be numbered using arabic
numerals. If need be, the source should be indicated immediately below.
If maps or graphs are to appear, they must be professionally drawn
(camera-ready). Photographs must be glossy, black and white prints.
Numbers
under 10 are usually expressed in words. The percentage sign is used
in tables; the word per cent is preferred in the text. Decimals should
always be expressed in arabic numerals, for example, 46.5 per cent.
Dates are shown as follows: the 1960s, but the sixties; September
24, 1979; the nineteenth century.
Spelling
generally follows the Concise Oxford Dictionary. Usage follows H.
W. Fowler, A Dictionary of Modern English Usage.
Quotations
and Citations
Quotations
in French or English need not be translated. Quotations from other
languages must be translated into the language of the manuscript.
Unless
punctuation belongs to the original quotation, it should be placed
outside the quotation marks. Examples: "It was obvious",
stated the newspaper report, "that the crime was committed before
midnight." The report ended by regretting the increasing number
of violent incidents by "gangs". Omission of quoted materials
should be indicated by three points of ellipsis. Modifications of
the original quotation or any words of the author's are enclosed in
square brackets. Sic in square brackets confirms the use or form of
quoted words.
Quotations
of more than five typed lines should form an indented paragraph. Omission
at the beginning and end of an extract is not indicated; quotation
marks must not be used.
To
the degree possible, footnote numbers are to be placed at the end
of sentences and after the terminating punctuation or quotation marks.
Example: "His political career was shaped by the feeling that
`noblesse oblige'".24
