Publication Guidelines

Regarding article submissions, the journal's editorial board requires authors to strictly adhere to the following guidelines :

1. Originality: Submitted articles must be original and demonstrate their contribution to the advancement of scientific knowledge.

2. Article Length: Articles must be between 12 and 18 pages (between 35,000 and 50,000 characters, including spaces). This length includes footnotes, bibliography, and illustrations. The editorial board reserves the right to reject any article that does not meet this length requirement.

3. Metadata

9 To make these words plural, one can choose between giving the Arabic plural (qaṣīda, pl. qaṣā’id) or adding the French “s” after a hyphen, in vertical case: qaṣīda-s

However, when a word is in French dictionaries, it is possible to adopt the spelling given therein; the word then agrees according to the rules of the French language and is not in italics. Examples: souk, plural souks; zaouïa, plural zaouïas; imam, plural imams; uléma (or ouléma), plural ulémas (oulémas).

10. Footnotes: Footnotes are numbered sequentially at the bottom of the page and are limited to essential information (explanations or press articles only, when bibliographic references are included in the text). The footnote marker must be placed above the preceding word, not above a punctuation mark. Example: 1. Must be joined. Not: Must be joined.

11. Bibliographical references are integrated into the text as follows: (Author's name, year of publication: page). References to original historical documents are presented as follows: (Author's name, first word of the title, or second word if the first is not significant: page).

12. Punctuation: Single or triple punctuation marks (period, comma, and quotation marks) are placed directly after the preceding word, while double punctuation marks (colon, semicolon, question mark, and exclamation mark) are separated from the preceding word by a variable space.

13. Quotations, use of quotation marks, and italics: Quotation marks are always placed between French quotation marks “…” and in Latin characters. When they exceed three lines, they are separated by a distinct paragraph, indented (1 cm on the left and right), and written in a smaller font than the rest of the text (11 for Latin texts and 14 for Arabic texts). 14. Use of italics: Italics are reserved for foreign terms. When these terms are in common use (if they appear in a dictionary), Latin characters are used.

15. References:

- References and sources: Author(s), Year, Title of the reference or source, Publisher, Country.

Translated references: The translator's name is added after the title, followed by the original publication date.
