About

Presentation

A multidisciplinary journal devoted to the study of Québécois and French-Canadian society, Recherches sociographiques publishes original works, critical notes and summaries. Its mission is to examine the spatial, historical, political, economic, social and cultural aspects of life in Quebec and French-speaking Canada. The journal sees itself as a crossroads, a sort of public meeting place at which to analyze, compare and interpret in the light of diverse scientific traditions.

Editorial policy and ethics

How to Submit an Article

Recherches sociographiques is published three times a year. The texts submitted to the editorial board and external reviewers must comply with the journal’s mandate—RS is a multidisciplinary journal that only publishes original articles about empirical research on Quebec and French Canada—and meet the requirements of a high-level research journal with a national and international standing. Before submitting an article, please consult our Style guide below and send the article to: rechsoc@soc.ulaval.ca.

Editorial policy

All articles are subjected to a double-blind peer review by two external reviewers (see our Article review policy). The editorial decision lies with the editors-in-chief but is made conjointly with the editors of the thematic issue

The critical notes are subjected to a double-blind review by one reviewer and to the review by the editor.

Reviews are not subject to peer evaluation. Once published, the author(s) of the reviewed article will have the right to reply. The author of the review is then permitted to reply to the response, and both replies appear in the same journal issue. 

Anti-plagiarism policy

All authors are required to comply with the copyright rules. Recherches sociographiques condemns any form of plagiarism, including self-plagiarism. The journal considers as an act of plagiarism to publish “in one’s own name the results of works and discoveries of third parties” and as an act of self-plagiarism “the voluntary omission of reference to one’s previous work, including the publication of an article already published in one language in another language.” (Definitions taken from http://responsable.unige.ch; our translation). For information on how to cite the work of others, see our Style guide.

Any submitted manuscript that contains a form of plagiarism as defined herein will be rejected outright if the mistake is detected before the publication or peer review. If it is detected after publication, the article will be identified as such on each page of the PDF until adequate corrections have been made. Recherches sociographiques also reserves the right to refrain from accepting further submissions from the plagiarizing author.

Article review policy

Upon receipt and after the usual verifications regarding plagiarism, each submitted article is reviewed by two reviewers. The reviews are performed in a double-blind manner: the reviewers do not know the name of the author of the text they are reviewing, and the author does not know the name of the reviewers of her/his text. The reviewers fill out a review form and make one of the following judgments: 1) acceptance as is; 2) acceptance with minor revisions; 3) acceptance with major modifications; 4) should be sent to another more appropriate journal; 5) should be published as a research note; 6) rejection. If checking box 2, 3 or 5, reviewers are invited to add relevant comments for the improvement of the text. In cases where the two judgments are conflicting, a third external review may be requested. When making its decision, the editorial board systematically sends the authors the anonymous reports of the reviewers. The final decision of the journal is irrevocable.

Terms and conditions

Exclusivity. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the submission of a text to Recherches sociographiques (RS) constitutes a confirmation that there was no prior publication and that no simultaneous submissions have been made to other publication outlets.

Copyright. The author affirms that the article is original and that she/he is the author and the owner of the rights. The author retains her/his copyright. The author confers to Recherches sociographiques an exclusive first-time license and a non-exclusive license to reproduce and distribute the full article or extracts from it. RS consents to the use of the article in all work written or edited by the author, provided it is appropriately referenced as having been first published in RS.

Twelve months after the publication of the article, the author may self-archive her/his text in the formatted version according to the visual standards of Recherches sociographiques on her/his personal website or on an institutional website insofar as

- she/he requests the prior approval from the editorial board of the journal;

- she/he clearly indicates the references to the initial publication.

 

Digital preservation policy

The perennial archiving of Recherches sociographiques is carried out by PORTICO.

 

Style guide

— The Recherches sociographiques journal accepts only exclusive and previously unpublished documents (articles, research papers and critical and other reviews), which means the following:

  1. The work has never been published and is not under review for another journal;
  2. You should wait for our answer before submitting the text elsewhere;
  3. The copyright will belong to Recherches sociographiques.

— Articles are published in French. However, they may be submitted in English for assessment. If accepted, the author is responsible for getting the work translated into French and the journal handles the editing.

— Document pages must be numbered in the bottom right corner, and be sent in Word format by email to rechsoc@soc.ulaval.ca.

— Write each author’s name, address, telephone number and email address on a separate page. Write the article or review title in all caps at the top of page 1.

— Articles should be between 20 and 35 pages long, double spaced, with at most 60,000 characters, not including spaces. Reviews should be between 2 and 6 pages, and with 700 to 800 characters.

— Follow traditional gender use or use both the masculine and feminine genders as explained in Pour un genre à part entière : guide pour la rédaction de textes non sexistes (Québec, Publications du Québec, 1988).

— Tables and graphs must appear on separate, individual pages, in numerical order, with titles. Sources must be clearly indicated. We will only publish those deemed essential to understanding the text. We use the International System of Units (IS).

— For initialisms and acronyms, write out the full form the first time. For example: Université Laval (UL), Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). Afterwards, just the initials or acronym (without periods) can be used.

— Please pay particular attention to accuracy in quotations and bibliographic references. Quotations in other languages should be translated into French and preceded by the word “traduction” (French for “translation”) enclosed in square brackets.

— An electronically published document should include the specific Internet source and the date it was consulted (e.g. [www.rechsoc.com/abonnements], consulté le 3 janvier 2015). For articles published in electronic journals, you must list the Internet address as well as the typical information (author, title, etc.). See example in box below.
