Guidelines for authors
Submission Process
Manuscripts should be submitted following the style guide below for English authors. If an article is accepted for publication, the author will be required to provide a copy of the text (accompanied by a 100 word abstract and a brief biographical sketch) in electronic form (MS Word) to the Editor-in-chief laurier.turgeon@hst.ulaval.ca, the Assistant editor catherine.briand.1@ulaval.ca, and, when applicable, the guest-editor(s).
Research Articles. Research articles should not exceed 7,500 words in length (including all figures, tables, references, and notes).
Notebook. The journal also publishes field notes or research reports. These are shorter than major articles and are restricted to personal reflections or straightforward presentations of research results.
Book reviews. Manuscripts of book reviews should be sent to the reviews editor, and follow the same guidelines as articles.
Style guide
Place citations in parentheses and include the author’s name and the source’s year of publication, with no intervening punctuation, at the end of a sentence or before a comma or semicolon, whenever possible: (Turgeon 2005).
Always include page numbers for quotations or extensive paraphrases, using a hyphen for page ranges: (Turgeon 2005: 205-206).
Use semicolons to separate two or more references in a single parenthetical citation and list them alphabetically: (Greenhill 2015; MacKinnon 2014; Pichette 2010; Turgeon 2005).
Use the first author’s last name and et al. for works with four or more authors.
Do not use ibid., passim, op. cit.
