SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL
 

An author can submit either a written article, or a proposal (200 words maximum), or a proposal for a Reading note, in French or English, to contact@etudesfrc.com with "Proposal" in the subject line. The proposal file must be in ODT (OpenOffice and LibreOffice) or DOCX (Microsoft Word) format. The author will take care to mention his diplomas and university affiliation.

If the article is signed by more than one person, the person submitting the proposal must state in the accompanying email that he or she has obtained the agreement of all co-authors of the text to act on their behalf.

​

REVIEW PROCESS
 

The EFRC Editorial Committee receives proposals and papers. 

1. If the proposal is deemed eligible, the Editorial Committee invites the author to submit the article/the reading note (between 10 and 20 000 characters including spaces).
   2. If the article (40 000 characters including spaces).is within the scope of the journal, has academic merit, is original, has not been published and is not being evaluated by another journal, the President of the Scientific Committee appoints two rapporteurs who will give their opinion without knowing the name of the author of the contribution (double-blind evaluation). They will be chosen to minimize the links between the reviewer and the author. Based on these evaluations, the Editorial Committee, which is open to all members of the Scientific Committee who have been informed in advance and have received all the documents, decides whether to accept the articles or to reject them, or to request a revised version, with or without an additional external evaluation cycle.

​​

The final accepted papers are edited and translated (into English or French). At the same time, EFRC sends the author a contract by e-mail to be returned as soon as possible. Proofs are sent to the authors, whose corrections are integrated to produce the final versions. Upon publication, the author will receive a copy of the journal.
