1 SUBMISSION

Articles will normally be of 8-10,000 words, but longer ones may be allowed in exceptional cases. They may be submitted in either English or French (though the published article will be translated into English). Papers should be submitted electronically via the online submission websiteonline submission web site. Any editoral or submission queries should be sent to the Editor.

The Editor will notify authors as soon as possible on the acceptability of their papers and inform them of any changes that need to be made, but will not enter into correspondence about papers considered unsuitable for publication.

Editor:

Neither the Editor nor the publisher accepts responsibility for the views of authors expressed in their contributions. Authors may not submit manuscripts that are under consideration for publication elsewhere.

2 LAYOUT.

Articles should be in Word and double-spaced with an unjustified right-hand margin. Each page should be numbered.

Authors are asked to consider the broad readership of French History as they prepare their material for submission. In particular, they are encouraged to draft the openings of articles and review articles in such a way as to make their material accessible to readers who may not be specialists in their own field.

Footnotes
In articles, and review articles, footnotes should be numbered consecutively and placed together in double-spaced typing on a separate page or pages at the end, though they will be published at the foot of each page. In reviews of books, there should be no footnotes, all material being incorporated in the text.

Author affiliation
In articles and review articles, the author's name should appear at the beginning, immediately under the title of the piece. An asterisked footnote should be included, giving the author's present position, and an address sufficient for him/her to be contacted by readers, and (if so desired) brief acknowledgements. Degrees and other personal details should not be included.

Abstract
Authors should also submit a 150-word abstract of their article. This will appear at the head of the text and will serve to alert potential readers to the article on the journal's website.

Quotations and ReferencesQuotation marks should be single and not double unless they indicate a quotation within a quotation. In reviews of books, the author's name should appear at the end on the right, with his/her institution on the left.
Page references are entered with [p.] inserted before them for citations from books, but not for articles. The journal’s house style does not include titled sub-sections, although sections may be marked with roman numerals.

For further matters of style and layout, authors are strongly encouraged to study recent articles from French History.
