The list of bibliographical references should also strictly respect the norms prescribed by the journal. The board of directors reserves the right to refuse any article that does not respect these requirements.

It is the editors' and the contributors' responsibility to make sure that all the permissions required to reuse materials from other publications were granted. The journal shall in no event be liable for any content reproduction that would not respect copyright.

Authors also commit to submit research work that respects the UNESCO recommendations in terms of scientific ethics.

SUBMISSION OF AN ARTICLE FOR A MISCELLANY ISSUE  

Article proposals for "Varia" issues should be submitted via our platform: https://www.revue-tranel.ch/login?source=%2Fsubmissions

The journal editors will then commission two or three scientific experts to anonymously assess the quality of the contribution (double-blind evaluation).

The proposed contribution must comply with the following points:

• The article must be submitted in doc/.docx or .rtf format.
• The article must be submitted in two versions: a fully anonymised version, so that the author cannot be identified by the evaluators, and a non-anonymised version with the first name, surname, professional address and e-mail address of the author(s). Please name the anonymised article as follows: VARIA_anonymised_((title of your article)) and the non-anonymised article: VARIA_((your name))_((title of your article)).
• The article must scrupulously comply with the instructions given to authors (see below).
• If these instructions are not followed, the article will be rejected without being submitted for expert appraisal.
