STYLE SHEET

  1. Submissions need to be made in word format (.doc or .docx).
  2. Contributions should be single-spaced, using Times New Roman, size 12 (footnotes size 10).
  3. The document has to be indented on all sides by 5cm.
  4. Texts have to be anonymized in view of their evaluation: To permit blind peer-reviews, you need to: delete personal information when saving the file (in Word: Tools / Inspect document); avoid acknowledgements and references to research centers or persons that could identify you (there will be time to add them after the peer-review); avoid linking your name to first-person indications (I, we, my article, our research, ...; there will be time to make these changes after the peer-review). Quote your own work in the third person: I showed in a 2007 paper à Daniel Chartier showed in a 2018 paper. If you need to insert an explicit reference to other research you have conducted, replace your name (or the whole reference) with [author]: [author], “‘This island so sad and beautiful’ – Iceland seen by the French expedition La Recherche in the 1830s – from scientific observation to cultural representation”, Kiel, Wachholtz, 2023 OR [author] 2023.
  5. Inter-Nord uses footnotes for all references according to the following model:
