Author guidelines

Manuscript submission guidelines

Manuscripts must be written in French with title, abstract, and keywords in English.

The journal offers the possibility of publishing articles in English when they are submitted by a community that habitually exchanges technical documents in that language. In this case, authors will be asked to provide a French abstract that is more detailed than the English abstract and to translate the captions of the figures into French.

Please use the journal's NOV'AE style sheet to prepare your manuscript.

How to Structure Your Article?

Summary (in French and English)

It’s a mini-article that accurately summarizes the entire content of the article in a concise and simple style. To ensure fidelity to the content, it should always be written after the article itself. It’s a self-contained text that the reader must understand without referring back to the article. Its length varies from 100 to 400 words, depending on the size of the article.

What to avoid in a summary: abbreviations/acronyms, tables and figures, bibliographic references.

Keywords (in French and English)

These are phrases (a group of 2 or 3 related words; in English, ‘phrases’) and important words that describe the content of the article. Through keywords, your article is easier to find in search engines, thus gaining visibility.
How many are needed: between 3 and 10 keywords.
How to choose them: Select essential words:

The expression or the most important word from the title,
Important expressions and words not used in the title but present in the summary,
Frequently used synonyms for these important expressions and words.

Introduction (10 to 15% of the article)

The introduction is where you will convince your reader of the relevance and importance of your study or project. It contains:

A general context + a specific context
The problem or need/specifications
The objective of the article (the message): what solution you bring to resolve the problem, address the need
A brief description of the method
Announcement of the plan

Development

While the scientific article - at least for experimental sciences - adheres to the IMRaD structure, the technical article has a variable geometry. The number of sections and their titles follow a single logic: that of relevance!
The important part is to find in the body of the article:

The description of the materials and methods
The presentation of the results accompanied by their analysis
Additionally, any other section necessary for understanding your arguments is welcome: site description, definitions of concepts, reminders of notions, etc.

Conclusion & Perspectives (10 to 15% of the article)

The conclusion is undoubtedly the most read part, along with the summary and the introduction. This indicates the care you should give it.
This is where your reader should find the essential takeaways:

Reminder of the study’s objectives
The main conclusions (with advantages and limitations)
Possible recommendations
Perspectives

Bibliography

Limit yourself to references that have a direct connection to the work described in the article.
Ensure that every reference included in the bibliography is cited in the text of the article.
Follow the style imposed by the journal as presented in the style sheet.

Visual elements

Visual elements must be integrated into the article in accordance with the guidelines specified in the style sheet.
When submitting the final version of the manuscript, please provide the source files for the illustrations separately, or all the elements necessary for their production:

Vector files or Word, Excel or PowerPoint files for figures, diagrams, drawings, maps and graphs;
High-definition image or digital files (minimum resolution of 300 dpi) for photographs or illustrations from other software.

Original illustrations created specifically for the article are preferred.
If some illustrations are from sources subject to copyright, please ensure that you have the rights to reproduce them. If you are not the author of these elements, you must contact the authors to obtain permission to reproduce them, as well as the original high-quality files.

Nomenclature

Please refer to the standard norms of the International System of Units (SI):
