Information for contributors

GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS

Presentation of manuscripts (articles, research notes ands other contributions)

Revue d’études autochtones publishes only original and unpublished texts. Manuscripts already published or already submitted in other journals cannot be accepted. Authors must advise us of any other project to publish the text submitted. Although the Journal cannot pay royalties, exclusivity is still required but agreements could be arrived at in specific cases.

All articles are published in French. Articles in other languages could be submitted and if they are accepted by the Editorial Board, they will be translated. Opinions expressed in the articles remain those of the authors. Articles must be submitted by email in WORD format (.doc or .docx). All quotes must be translated into French.

Epicene writing

Revue d’études autochtones advocates epicene writing, that is, writing that highlights the presence of women and men equally. We do not accept truncated forms, such as patient-e-s, patient/e/s or patient(e)s, which interfere with readability. For more details, see the Guide relatif à la rédaction épicène : respect des genres masculin et féminin.

Acceptance of contributions other than articles

Within the framework of a thematic issue, the Editorial Committee agrees to publish a certain number of texts (no more than four) which are not scientific articles but which complement the theme developed. The Committee has identified three categories of texts that may be accepted: commentary, testimony and point of view. As with regular articles, the Editorial Committee reserves the right to refuse any manuscript of this type submitted for publication. These texts must first be reviewed by the person responsible for the issue, who must be able to assess their relevance in the light of the criteria set out below. Then, the proposals accepted by the editor are submitted to the journal's editorial staff with suggestions (at least two) from external readers. These will then be read by a member of the Editorial Board and by an external reader. The Editorial Board reserves the right to refuse these texts. The journal's direction will decide whether these texts will be included in the paper version of the journal or distributed as a supplement on the journal's website. Maximum 3000 words plus bibliographical references (approx. 8-10 double-spaced pages).

Commentary

The commentary provides an original perspective on a specific topic. It must clearly fit into the theme of the issue of the journal and offer added value to the articles, either through its original perspective or because it deals with a question or issue that is not addressed by the other texts. Unlike articles, the commentary does not have to be based on a specific theoretical or empirical approach. Rather, it offers a critical look at a specific issue, theme or literature. It must be a structured argument, enriched by the author's knowledge, personal experience and understanding of the relevant literature.

Testimonial

Testimony is a narrative, descriptive and/or explanatory account of a personal experience. The testimony must clearly fit into the theme of the issue of the journal and offer added value in relation to the articles through its original perspective or because it deals with a question or issue that is not addressed by the other texts. The objective here is less to propose an argument than to describe a precise situation, a lived experience or to present a life story in a concise manner. The testimony should be structured in a coherent, accessible style and should ideally include a section or conclusion of a more analytical nature.

Point of view

Critical in nature, the point of view or opinion concerns a current issue, problem or debate. The text must be in line with the theme of the issue of the journal and offer added value, either through its original viewpoint or because it deals with a question or issue that is not addressed by the other articles. The rules of coherence and respect for the norms of usage must be respected: avoidance of unsupported assertions and personal attacks, nuance and respect for contrary opinions, etc.).

POLICY ON SPELLING OF INDIGENOUS ETHNONYMS AND PLACE NAMES

For many years, Recherches amérindiennes au Québec (now published as Revue d’études autochtones) has adopted the rules of the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) and the Commission de toponymie du Québec and the Geographical Names Board of Canada regarding the spelling of Indigenous ethnonyms and place names.

http://www.gdt.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/

http://www.toponymie.gouv.qc.ca/CT/toposweb/recherche.aspx

According to the new editorial guidelines, the journal now authorizes the use of ethnonyms and toponyms according to the transcription methods in use in the various communities. In order to avoid any confusion, it is important to indicate the OQLF spelling in French in parentheses at the first occurrence (e.g.: les Eeyouch (Cris); Ekuanitshit (Mingan), etc.).

The journal also asks authors to standardize the spelling chosen in their article and to justify the use of the selected spelling (e.g.: why choose "Eeyouch" instead of "Cree" or "W8banaki" or "W8banakiak" instead of "Abenaki") and, if possible, to specify the sources (official documents, informants, etc.). According to this new directive, gender and number agreement will no longer be mandatory.

Authors who wish to continue to use the rules of the OQLF and the Commission de toponymie du Québec et du Canada for the spelling of Indigenous ethnonyms and toponyms may do so.

Outside Quebec, the journal refers to the Geographical Names Board of Canada, which is available on the Internet.
