Author Guidelines

The journal ScriptUM uses the OJS platform to ensure communication between authors, reviewers, and editorial committee members. When submitting an article, the author(s) are responsible for ensuring compliance with the writing protocol.

Anonymization Procedure

To ensure the anonymity of your manuscript during double-blind peer review, we ask you to i) remove all instances of your name contained in your article, ii) clear the properties of your Word file (procedure below), iii) not include headers, iv) not include acknowledgments, and v) avoid excessive self-citation. Names and acknowledgments will be added following the evaluation and acceptance of your manuscript.

To clear Word file properties:

Windows: File > Information > Inspect Document > Inspect (icon at bottom) > Click on "Remove All" that appears in the Document Properties and Personal Information category.

Mac 2008 : Preferences > Security > Privacy Options > Click on "Remove personal information from this file on save."

Mac 2011 : Review tab > Protect Document > Check "Remove personal information from file properties on save" > Press OK > Save the file.

Selection Process

Upon reception of an article, the editorial committee members submit it to the scientific committee, which will be responsible for conducting an initial review and evaluation. All submissions are evaluated according to standard criteria regarding content (structure of argumentation, quality of methodology, quality of popularization) and form (language correctness, clarity and conciseness of style). The evaluation is done directly on the OJS platform. Following reception of comments, authors must submit a revised version of their article, if necessary. An article whose quality does not meet the standards established by the journal or that does not comply with the writing protocol will be rejected.
