All elements of the manuscript (title, abstract, text body, footnotes, bibliography and captions) must be typed in double space with a typeface not smaller than 12 points; |
| 2. |
Each element of the text should always begin on a new page, their order being as follows: title page, abstract, body of the text, references, captions of tables and figures; |
| 3. |
The < title page > should include the title itself, and, below this, the name of the author, his/her institutional affiliation with address for correspondence as well as e-mail address. |

The abstract page(s) should include brief texts, both in English and French, touching upon the main subjects discussed in the paper. Abstracts in each language should not surpass two hundred words and should not contain any kind of references, bibliographic citations or footnotes |
| 5. |
Authors are free for the inclusion of footnotes, if these concern relevant points of the text, but the number of footnotes should be kept to the minimum necessary. |
| 6. |
The bibliographical references should only contain works cited in the text. References in the text are to be made to conform to the current international literature. Page numbers are required, save for references on an entire work. Page numbers should never be followed by 'f' or 'ff', but indicated specifically. If several works are going to be cited for one single text passage, entries should be set in chronological order from the earliest to the youngest. Cited works having more than two authors must make use of 'et al.', but the bibliographical list at the end of the manuscript has to include the name of all authors of each single publication. Below, some examples on the manner of citing in the text and in the references. |
Citations in the text should occur as follows:
