Article Submission

Review of Agricultural and Environmental Studies – Revue d’Etudes en Agriculture et Environnement publishes articles in French and English. Articles submitted must contain original and unpublished works that have not been submitted for publication elsewhere. The authors commit themselves not to submit the manuscript or a translated version of it to another review until the final decision has been taken by the editorial board.

A PDF file of the article (an anonymous text file without author details) must be sent by e-mail to raestud@ivry.inra.fr together with a letter containing the title of the article, the name, first name, address, phone and fax numbers as well as the e-mail address of the corresponding author.

After a first evaluation by the members of the editorial board, at least two external reviewers will be quickly approached to submit detailed reports within 8 weeks. The corresponding author will then receive these reports with a message, referring to the reports’ contents, giving the decision made by the editorial board as regards the publication of the article: rejection, acceptance subject to minor modifications, or acceptance subject to major revisions. In case of acceptance subject to changes, the journal asks that authors send their second version with a letter specifying the consideration of the criticisms and suggestions made by the reviewers and by the editorial board. The entire procedure is performed under the usual rules of respect for the anonymity of the authors and reviewers.
