Author's guidelines > Style guide (papers)

We distinguish between submission requirements and review requirements.

- At the submission stage, the manuscript must be submitted in word or PDF format. It should begin with a cover page containing the title and summary. All information allowing the identification of the author(s) must be deleted, in order to allow anonymous evaluation (tutorial to delete information in Word or PDF format). There are no further formal requirements at this stage.

- It is only at the revision stage that a "correct" format will be required as a condition of acceptance of the paper
