Instruction for Authors

  • A contribution intended for publication should be in English or French. The manuscripts should be submitted via the editorial platform of the JEP.
  • Before submitting, one should be registered as an author on the editorial platform. If not (eg. never registered, or registered as a reviewer), please, send an email to the Journal manager to be registered as an author.
  • Once registered as an author, please, consult the corresponding web page for more details.
  • In case of problems when submitting via the platform or if help is needed, the Editorial assistant can do the submission instead of the author. Please contact Marine Amier.

Submission of an article

  • Once the account is created, the author can upload a pdf file after having certified that the submitted article is not already published or is not considered for publication in another journal.
