Notes for Contributors


1. Manuscripts

Articles should:

2. Submission of Manuscripts
Three copies of the manuscript and the disc should be sent to the Editor, Professor Keith Cameron, at Department of French, University of Exeter, Queen's Building, Exeter EX4 4QH. Number pages consecutively with the first page containing the title, the authors, the affiliation, and a short abstract of 100&endash;150 words.

3. Illustrations
Submit only clear reproductions of artwork. Authors should retain original artwork until a manuscript has been accepted in its final version. All figures must be in a form suitable for reproduction. Original inked drawings or laserprinter output reproduce best, but if they are not available, same-sized glosses or matt photostats are acceptable. Photographs should be black-and-white on glossy paper, or transparencies.

4. Numbering Figures and Tables
Each figure and table should be mentioned in the text and should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numbers in order of appearance in the text for figures, and Roman numbers for tables. On the reverse side of each figure, write the name of the (first) author and the figure's number. The figures should be integrated into the text as much as possible rather than being inserted at the end of the document.

5. Headlines and Captions
Except for the first letter, headlines and captions should be in lower case and identified by the use of numbers separated by decimals to indicate both sections and subsections.

6. Notes and References
Explanatory notes should be used sparingly and indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text. Notes appear at the side of the text to which the note refers. Bibliographies appear at the end of the chapter.

Acknowledgements, sources of support, and the like, should be given in a separate brief section before the Notes.

7. References
References to books, journal papers, articles in collections and proceedings , and technical reports should be collected in a list at the end of the article and listed in alphabetical order.

8. Citations to References
Citations should be given in the text by using the author's name and publication date (and page number where appropriate) in the style of Gardner (1987) or (Gardner 1987) according to context.
