Authors are asked to submit two copies of their articles to facilitate and speed the review process; they will be informed of the decision at the earliest possible date. Submission to the journal will be evaluated by the editors and members of the editorial advisory board; outside specialists may be consulted as needed.

Submission of an article will be taken to imply that it has not been published previously in any form and has not simultaneously been offered to any other publication. It is a condition of acceptance of an article that the publisher acquires the copyright of the typescript. Therefore the article cannot be published elsewhere in the same form, in any language, without the publisher's consent.

Form & Length

All articles shall be typed on one side of the paper only, and doubled spaced with a wide (3cm) margin on each side of the text. Pages of each copy must be sequentially numbered. Section heading should be entirely in capitals, on a separate piece of paper; titles should be in small letters, with main words capitalized. In either case, the text should start on the next line. The maximum preferred length is twenty double-spaced pages; there is no minimum length. Exceptionally long articles will be considered when of particular merit, and short notices are welcome especially for the questionnaire section.

Names, affiliations and complete mailing addresses for authors should appear on a separate title page. If affiliations for authors differ, list addresses separately beneath each author's name. Indicate for the typesetter which author will check proofs. Authors should also provide an abbreviation of the paper's title (no more that 35 characters) for use as a running head. Include acknowledgments under a separate head at the end of the paper but before the Works Cited list.

The publisher encourages authors to submit accepted manuscripts on computer disks. Microsoft Word 6 or 97/98 is the preferred software. Authors must enclose a printed copy of the manuscript (in duplicate) along with the disk. All disks should be marked with the name of the software package that was used and the file name.

Illustrations

Illustrations should be presented as "camera-ready copy," numbered with consecutive arabic numbers (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.), have descriptive captions, and be mentioned in sequential order in the text. Keep illustrations separate from the text, but indicate clearly their approximate position within the text. Permission to reproduce illustrations and any other material which has been previously published by the author and sent to the editors.

Preparation:
Line drawings should be prepared in black (India) ink on white paper or tracing cloth, with all the necessary lettering completed. Photographs must be in good original prints of maximum contrast. Color prints or transparencies should be submitted only if the color is necessary to the understanding of the discussion.

Captions:
A list of captions relating to the illustrations, with relevant numbers (Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.), should be set out on a separate sheet of paper attached to the typescript. The permission statement provided by the copyright holder should be included at the end of each caption.

References

The full list of notes "Works cited" should be collected at the end of the paper. Full bibliographical information should appear only in the list of "Works cited," not in the notes. In general, format should follow MLA Style Sheet guidelines, in alphabetical order, and set out in the manner described and illustrated below. Note that the initials of the first author (only) are placed after the name.

Proofs

If necessary, authors may receive page proofs (including illustrations) for correction, which must be returned to the printer within 48 hours of receipt. Please be sure that a full postal address is given on the first page of the manuscript so that proofs will arrive without delay. Author's alterations in excess of 10% of the original composition cost will be charged to the authors.

Deadlines

Due to the thematic nature of each issue of Contemporary French and Francophone Studies, deadlines are final since late articles cannot be saved for subsequent issues.
