Presentation of manuscripts

The manuscripts must meet the standards of a high quality scholarly journal. The editor will read all manuscripts and submit them for blind reading to two experts in the appropriate field. Authors must ensure that their manuscripts give no hint as to their identity. Each author will receive a copy of their manuscript containing the comments of the examiners, whose identity will not be revealed.

All texts submitted must be original. They must be sent in electronic format to the following address: environnement.urbain@ucs.inrs.ca; the software and format used must be clearly indicated. Editorial staff will generally contact contributors by e-mail. For administrative purposes, please specify if there is more than one contact person (author) and if duplicates must be sent to the other authors. Once the manuscript has been edited in its final form, the editorial staff will send it to the individual in charge for a final check and approval.

Articles must not exceed 10,000 words (including notes and bibliography). Review articles (including book reviews) and critical reviews must not exceed 4,000 words. All manuscripts must include a 100-word summary and five keywords. The author should must provide the title, summary and keywords in French and English and, if possible, Spanish.

The authors of the submitted manuscript agree to transfer to Environnement urbain / Urban Environment [hereafter referred to as the Journal] all rights related to the publication of their manuscript in the Journal, which will become freely available on the Internet. It is the responsibility of the author(s) to obtain permission to reproduce materials from other sources, should this be necessary.

With a view to the publication of their manuscript in the Journal, the author / authors guarantee:

  • that the manuscript is original, has never previously been published and has never previously been considered for either hard-copy or electronic publication in its final form (in the form submitted to the Journal);
