Instructions to authors and style sheets
General guidelines
For bibliographic references, the use of Zotero (or its multilingual version JurisM) is strongly recommended.
Only the use of these software programs can guarantee optimal bibliographic standards. The standardization of bibliographies has an important impact on the publication time and can determine the acceptance or rejection of a manuscript.
The references are indicated in footnotes and should strictly observe the order:
Author [Only surname] – Year – Page – (Possibly note)
(See below for details of the styles in French and English).
Full bibliographic references appear only in the end-of-chapter or end-of-book bibliography.
In the Rencontres collection, the complete bibliographic references for a chapter appear at the end of the chapter. There is no general bibliography at the end of the book.
The works may include indexes of proper names (personal names, place names, names of works and so forth).
They may include a thematic index, in which case the entries must be prepared by the scientific editor (index entries in MS Word).
The books do not include a glossary of the original characters at the end of a book or article: the original scripts (Chinese or Japanese for example) follow their transcription in the text itself, both for the main text and for the notes.
The different parts of a book must be organized using the hierarchical levels (titles, subtitles…) available in the word processor: in MS Word, use the Outline mode.
There is no period at the end of a title or subtitle.
Books for the Traverses series must include a summary of the entire book; books for the Rencontres series must include a summary of each chapter.
Abstracts should always be given in both French and English, and in that order.
Delete spaces after the opening and before the closing of parentheses or brackets. In the case of partial or interspersed quotations, use […] and not (…).
Block quotes must be clearly identifiable.
Notes should be positioned at the bottom of the page and not at the end of the chapter or book.
Titles in Asian languages may be accompanied by their translation. In this case it is the responsibility of the authors, translators and scientific editors to ensure that the translation is consistent throughout the book.
The translation of a book title should be given in parentheses without italics.
Titles in English and other European languages should not accompanied by a translation.
For Chinese books: titles published in simplified characters should be given in simplified characters; titles published in traditional characters should be given in traditional characters.
For Japanese books: titles should be given in modern characters.
