Articles must be sent to the journal Crescentis electronically with Word or Open Office files attached (.doc, .docx, or .odt) via crescentis.mshdijon@ube.fr. The articles submitted must be previously unpublished in the publication language.

Each manuscript is evaluated by two reviewers chosen by the editorial committee and/or the peer review committee. As needed, a third reviewer may be assigned. Their reports inform the editorial committee’s decision to publish. This decision is then sent to authors with comments, suggestions, and corrections to be incorporated.

Once the manuscript is definitively accepted and the version corrected according to the journal’s guidelines is returned, the authors receive an electronic proof of their publication for final editing before online publication. After the close-out of the annual issue, an “offprint” in PDF format to be approved is sent to authors to ensure “readiness for press”. If no response is received, it is assumed that the authors accept the entirety of the proof’s format.

“One document, one trace”

This section conducts a discussion around a specific object, source, archaeological structure, etc. The evaluated manuscript has a short format and aims to describe the document with regard to its chronological, economic, cultural, etc., contexts.

“Detox Units”

The posts in this section decipher current events and myths that assert their role in the history of viticulture and wine. Based on read, viewed, or heard data, the authors will seek to establish scientifically verified information by drawing elements from their research and bibliographic or archival sources, enabling them to discern what is based in fantasy and what constitutes verified, supposed, or hypothetical facts.

The text will be written and formatted according to the journal’s guidelines. Only the header levels will be clearly identified. The manuscript will be composed of the following:

• title in French and English

• abstracts in French and English of around 900 characters each (including spaces)

• list of four to eight key words, also in French and English

• body of the article arranged into a maximum of three levels of distinct headers

• list of bibliographic references

Manuscript presentation

The text will be written in 12-point font. The typographical formatting in bold and italics are presented directly in the text, but nothing must be underlined (except in special cases). Uppercase letters in French are accented. Numbers are written in Arabic numerals, including centuries, unless the text is in French, for which centuries are written in Roman numerals and small capped. Decimal numbers must be written with a period (e.g., 1.25) and measurement units with their symbol (°C, kg, L, %, etc.).

Footnotes are numbered consecutively and are integrated into the Word file. They make it possible to incorporate additional information in the text (archive references, various types of information, web pages for which the URL and date of the most recent access are provided1, etc.) and are thus not concerned by the cited bibliography. If the footnote is related to a quotation, it will be placed after the “”. In all other cases, it will be placed without a space after the word in question. In addition, the notes are placed only in the body of the text and cannot be attached to the title of a manuscript nor within a table.

In-text citations appear in the text in parentheses and must mention the author’s name and year of publication. Pages can also be given, if necessary (e.g., Sadourny 1968, p. 172). The abbreviation et al. will be used only in cases where the cited reference includes three or more authors.

As to ancient sources, the in-text citation will take the form of the author’s name, followed by the work’s title and the subdivisions of the concerned texts (e.g., Caesar, De Bello Gallico, I, 1). Finally, an in-text citation for a film will comprise the work’s title followed by the year of release (This Earth is Mine, 1959).

The list of cited references is placed in alphabetical and chronological order after the text; only the in-text references will be incorporated. If possible, the author will provide in a separate document the URLs of the articles and works available online (HAL, Gallica, Persée, etc.). This list will follow the rules below:

Note that electronic publications are incorporated into the list of cited references whereas ancient sources and filmographies are separate.

Figures are also called out in bold text in parentheses according to their order of occurrences, taking the following form: (Figure 1). The title of the figure and its captions will be indicated in a separate Word document. Illustrations must be high quality, preferably saved as .jpg or .ai with a resolution of 600 dpi; they are provided in a separate file. They must also be in the public domain, which is the author’s responsibility to verify.
Page width will be 17 cm, column width 8.15 cm, and page height 24.7 cm. This makes it necessary to style the figures within these dimensions, all while anticipating the location of the title of the figure and its caption.

Authors are free to indicate their specific wishes for positioning and formatting figures (a full page for a figure critical to the discourse, for example).

Initialisms and acronyms are systematically defined when they first occur:

Architectural terracotta (ATC)
Archives Départementales de Saône-et-Loire (ADSL)

Citations are literally transcribed and appear in italics for languages other than modern English or modern French:

“Gallia est omnis diuisa in partes tres, quarum unam incolunt Belgae, aliam Aquitani, tertiam qui ipsorum lingua Celtae, nostra Galli appellantur” (Caesar, De Bello Gallico, I, 1).
