Guidelines to Authors

Authors agree to comply with ABE Journal’s editorial policy. Authors are not paid for their contributions to ABE Journal. ABE Journal does not charge any submission or processing or publishing fees.

ABE Journal articles are blind peer-reviewed.

Authors guarantee that their contribution is original. Unethical behaviour will preclude consideration of the manuscript. Please see ABE Journal Code of Ethics for Author rights and duties.

Presentations of relevant historical documents and holdings in the Documents/Sources section of the Journal can have different formats: from a concise discussion of one particular source in a text of approximately 1,500 words to more substantial methodological/reflexive texts of a particular collection or range of sources in which case a more substantial length can be discussed with the Editorial committee. There should be one leading illustration to which up to 4 additional illustrations can be added (in case more images are needed, this needs to be discussed with the Editorial committee beforehand).

Languages and Keywords

Submission guidelines

Submissions should be sent to abe [at] inha.fr and include:

1. An electronic file (.doc, .docx, .odt, or .rtf) of the text with all illustrations embedded in low resolution at their proposed positions and provided with captions and copyright holder information.

The document should not be protected by password or encrypted, as every file is anonymized by the Journal Office prior to peer-review.

If applicable annex/appendix documents can be submitted in a separate electronic file. No post-conclusion paragraphs should be added to the body of the manuscript.

PDF files are not accepted.

The total file size should be less than 2Mb as larger attachments will be rejected by the journal’s email server.

2. A separate link to a folder containing all illustrations in high resolution (Minimum size: 800 pixels width and 300 dpi).

Authors are responsible for obtaining copyright clearance from rights owners for the publication of any copyrighted material (photographs, drawings, etc.) that may be included in their contribution. Exceptionally, if copyrights entail any costs, authors may be permitted to finalize copyright clearance procedures upon acceptance of their paper. Any related costs will be borne by the authors.

Collages or composite illustrations are not preferred but can be included if the composition uses no more than two images.

3. A numbered list of illustrations with captions, legend (if applicable), and appropriate sources and credits.

Captions must be short accurate descriptions rather than comments.

In case of composite illustrations, authors must legitimate the juxtaposition in the caption of the illustration and credit sources for each of the images.

Stylistic and Bibliographic Requirements

To enhance readability, manuscripts should be written using a serif-font style, for example: Times 12pt. on 18pt. leading (1.5 line spacing), in a single column.

Footnotes (do not use endnotes) may include bibliographic references, links, comments, etc.

To style your bibliography, ABE Journal implemented a Zotero style for each language it publishes, available at: https://www.zotero.org/styles?q=invisu

All citations and bibliographic references are placed in footnotes. Use a note number in the body of the essay and detail the corresponding reference in a footnote as below.
