Author Guidelines

 

The authors are required to use the available Microsoft™ Word or Latex templates. for regular articles. For articles to be submitted to "Practicioner's Corner", use the Microsoft Word template for Practioner's Corner.


For LaTeX, the encoding used for the different files is UTF-8. The template can be compiled with three options: ``francais" or ``"english" for the desired language, ``"article" or "proceeding" depending on the manuscript type and "preprint" or "final" depending on stage of publication. During the submission of an article to the journal, the "article" and "preprint" options must be used (preview). Later, once the article has been accepted, the "article" and "final" options must be used (preview). For this reason, authors shall submit a ZIP archive of all Latex sources together with the PDF file.

For Word, the proposed template corresponds to an article in its final formatting, ready for publication (preview). During the submission of an article to the journal, this template must be edited so that the entire text is double spaced and each line numbered (preview).

Practitioner's Corner

Manuscript length should not exceed five journal pages.
