Author Guidelines
Note to authors
Item size: The length of the articles is between 30,000 and 45,000 characters.
Sending articles: Texts must reach us in electronic format, in .doc or .rtf format (no pdf file).
Please name the file so that the name of the author appears in the file name, or at least one of the names of the authors in the case of an article written by more than one person
Format of articles (formatting):
Presentation standards
Text font: Times New Roman; size: 12
Line spacing 1.5
Justified text
Margins: 2.5 bottom, top, right, left
Spacing before and after paragraphs: 0; paragraphs are created by line breaks.
Do not introduce any particular layout: no space before and after the paragraphs, no indentation, no use of predefined styles, etc.
You will reserve the italic mode for expressions of foreign origin (cf. infra) and for bibliographical references (name of journals, titles of works and theses), and the bold mode for titles.
Title and subtitles
As with the rest of the text, use as little enrichment as possible at the title level.
In any case, do not exceed three levels of title (for example: I., A., 1.; or 1, 1.1., 1.1.1). It is the editor who will take care of the formatting of the titles, but you must make sure that the hierarchy of your titles is very clear for an external reader: I., A., 1. or I., 1., 1.1. for example.
Do not use automatic formatting of titles.
The titles, inter-titles, "hats" and top of the articles remain the responsibility of the journal which reserves the right to modify those proposed by the author.
At the beginning of the article
At the beginning of the document, before entering the text itself, should appear:
-the title of the article, in capital letters; please make it explicit without being too long
- below: your name (in capital letters) and your first name (in small letters), your status and your institution of affiliation (University, laboratory, company, etc.) for example: Lise GASTALDI
Lecturer in Management, LEST, University of Aix-Marseille II
- a "hat" which in a few lines (between 3 and 7 lines) presents the subject of your article in terms that make the reader of the issue want to read this article:
o.example: "Through the example of philately, this article looks at the conditions of emergence and development of a market. In this perspective, it highlights the founding role of quality standards and conventions, the definition of which is necessary for the unification of exchanges and the protection of the value of the object exchanged. "
o. the "hats" remain the responsibility of the journal which reserves the right to modify those proposed by the authors.
Tables, diagrams, images
Tables, diagrams, illustrations, etc. are placed in the body of the text, when reference is made to these elements. There are no appendices to the articles.
All tables, diagrams, illustrations must be numbered and named (indicate the source below if applicable).
When images must appear in your article, please also send them to us in image format so as to improve the quality in the printed version.
Footnotes
Footnotes are placed at the bottom of the page to which they are referred.
They are numbered from 1 to n over the entire length of the article.
The footnotes are in font: Times New Roman, size: 10, justified text, single spacing.
The indices referring to the footnotes in the text are in font 12; they are located immediately after the element of the article which needs to be supported by this note and / or which refers to the content of this note, without space (in French the index is placed before a possible punctuation, unlike to what is done in English).
Footnotes end with a period.
Bibliographic references:
Bibliographic references are placed in footnotes; there is no bibliography at the end of the articles:
1- a reference in the footnote, without specifying in the text the name of the author (or the date, etc.)
2- a mention in the text of the reference + reference in the footnote for the complete reference
o. At this time the elements to be included in the text are:
The name
Lower case only to the first letter
Not the first name
if two authors: Revel and Martin (in the text use "and" - never & - whether the authors are French or foreign)
If more than two authors: F. Charue-Duboc et alii
if several authors, put them in the order that appears on the article or work
The year
The pages, noted as p.17; without space between p. and the page number (or pages: p.17-23); it is desired that the pages be indicated, and this is essential in the case of a quotation or the use of figures or precise data.
Format of the references placed therefore in footnotes:
References are put in footnotes, so like all footnotes, they must be in Times New Roman, 10, justified text, without indentation at the beginning of the line, single spacing.
Example: as Mintzberg analyzed in his 1994 book ...
If multiple references in the same footnote, separate them with semicolons; and sort them in ascending chronological order.
The bibliographic references must be formatted according to the following models:
Work J.-F. Brun, Faux et truqués, Paris, Éditions Loisirs et Culture, 1989.
Initial (s) of the first name, Last name in lower case, title of the work in italics, place of publication, publisher, date (year), possibly pages.
J.-F. for Jean-François: for French first names, if there are two initials, it is generally a composite first name so the dash must appear.

Thank you for taking the greatest care in the bibliography: it is necessary that all the necessary elements appear (publisher, place of publication, pages, etc.), and that its presentation is homogeneous and complies with the requirements specified above. Notes on shape:
Expressions and terms borrowed from other languages
For terms and expressions in Latin (a priori, a posteriori, ex ante, ex post, via, versus, etc.), in English, etc., you will use the italic mode.
example: "one might have thought a priori that it was ..."; "The business model of this company ..."
The italic mode will be reserved for this use only.
Quotes
Quotations are made between double quotes.
example: as Revel noted (1987, p.18): "companies in the steel industry ..."
note the page of the book or article where the passage quoted is located.
For a quote within a quote, single quotes ‘’ will be used.
Miscellaneous remarks on form
Be careful to insert the accents on the capital letters, with the command "insert, special characters": É, Ê, Á, Â, È, Î, etc. ; ditto for the capital letters ç.
Punctuation and spaces:
Be careful to have inserted non-breaking spaces after or before quotes, a semicolon, a question mark, to avoid having - at the time of the layout by the editor - signs that are found alone at the end or at the beginning of the line.
There should not be a space just after or just before a parenthesis: (as so and so says) => no
In French there is a space before the colon ":", which is not the case in English, same for question marks, semicolons and exclamation marks.
In French we use quotes: "" with non-breaking spaces after and before the quotes; in english we use straight quotes: “Chapter 11” without spaces after and before the quotes.
No punctuation mark should separate the subject from the verb in a sentence when these follow one another.
Pay attention to the spelling of certain terms:
Middle Age; First World War ; Second World War ; between two wars ;
Île-de-France
Turnover - The dates will be noted as follows: 1978 and not 78; the 1960s, not the 60s or 60’s.
The centuries will be noted with Roman numerals: example: the 20th century
For the persons mentioned in the text, it is necessary to specify the name and the first name, or only the last name (avoid the initials for the first name).
The use of figures is limited to dates, numbers greater than or equal to ten, percentages and tables and graphs presenting figures.
For percentages: you can use the% sign in the text; you will not put a space between the number and the% sign. example: 18% of companies in the sector…
In terms of conjugation, pay attention to the times used, and remember to harmonize the times used (choice of past or present in particular).
Do not use the & sign in the text, unless it is a company name, such as a consulting firm etc. don't forget the point
Notes on shape and content:
If the articles published by Entreprises et Histoire are of course research articles, therefore sharp, they must be readable and understandable by readers who, while being teachers, researchers, students, etc. are not specialists in the subject. This remark aims to draw the attention of the authors to the fact that the greatest care must be taken with the clarity of the words, the explicitation of the ideas and theoretical debates, thus avoiding allusions to things known only to them. or their close community, and an excess of unexplained jargon for non-specialists.
Items to provide in addition to the article:
You must send us in addition to the text of your article, and always in electronic version (.doc or .rtf files):
- a summary of your article in French (between 200 and 500 words) allowing the reader to understand the subject and appreciate its interest.
- a summary of your article in English (between 200 and 500 words), with the title of the article also translated into English. - a biographical note (between 50 and 150 words) indicating your name and first name, your current position (position, title, institution), possibly elements relating to your initial training, your areas of research and one or two publications (the most recent and / or most important).
- your postal and electronic contact details.
Organization of the evaluation process:
- You send us your article (see format specified above).
- This is evaluated according to a conventional double-blind procedure; the paper can be accepted, changes can be requested or the paper can be rejected.
- When a paper is definitively accepted, it is sent to the editor who formats it.
- The author or the authors of the article then receive (s) the "proofs" of their article which they must reread, within short deadlines, in order to check that there are no more errors , shells, forgetfulness, etc. They receive the proofs in pdf format, which they need to print, proofread, correct on paper and return to the editorial secretary in charge of the number whose contact details will be specified in the email along with the pdf file of the proofs. The deadline for returning the proofs is also specified.
- The editorial team does the same work and then sends the new version of the article incorporating its corrections and those made by the author or the authors of the article to the editor. Let us clarify two things at this stage of the process.
1.If the authors do not send their correction requests within the time limit which is specified in the email accompanying the sending of the proofs, their corrections will not be taken into account, only those made by the editorial team will be.
2. Furthermore, the editorial team reserves the right not to integrate all correction requests made by the authors of articles on the basis of proofs, this for cost reasons since the corrections made after the drawing of the first games tests are expensive; this invites the authors to ask for corrections in a measured way (and relating only to the shape of the paper) and also to take the greatest care in the writing of their article before we reach the stage, already very advanced, tests. - The publisher returns a second set of proofs which is only reread this time by the editor-in-chief of the review and the editorial secretary in charge of the issue in question. It is therefore imperative that all the corrections to be made by the authors be at the level of the initial papers or at the latest at the level of the first proofs.
