Akofena Akofena Typographical standards -

No journal may publish an article that has not been written in accordance with editorial standards (NORCAMES). Typographical standards are set by each journal. The structure of an article must comply with the rules of scientific writing, depending on whether the article is a theoretical contribution or the result of field research. The structure of a scientific article in the humanities is as follows:

For an article that is a theoretical and fundamental contribution: Title, First name and surname of the author, Home institution, e-mail address, Abstract in French, Keywords, Introduction (justification of the theme, problem, scientific hypotheses/objectives, approach), Articulated development, Conclusion, Bibliographical references.

For an article resulting from field research: Title, First name and surname of the author, Institution, e-mail address, Abstract in French, Keywords, Introduction, Methodology, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Bibliographical references.

How do I submit an article?

Note All manuscripts sent to Akofena must be unpublished, i.e. they must not have been previously published in any other journal. Manuscripts must comply with the following requirements:

The first page should include the title of the article, the first and last names of the authors, their institution of affiliation and their full address.
Translate the title of the subject into English if the article is written in French. For all languages other than French, the title, abstract and keywords must be translated into French.
The abstract (French) must not exceed 350 words. It must be succinct so as to highlight the essential points of the analysis.
Abstract (English) should not exceed 350 words. It should be succinct so as to highlight the essence of the analysis.
Keywords (French) must not exceed five words.

Keywords (english) should not exceed five words.
The introduction should provide sufficient background information, setting the context in which the study was undertaken. It should enable the reader to judge the qualitative value of the study and evaluate the results obtained.
Body of the subject: The different parts of the body of the subject must appear in a logical order (e.g.: 1.; 1.1; 1.2; 2.; 2.1; 2.2; etc.).
The introduction and conclusion are not numbered.
Footnotes do not refer to bibliographical references, but to additional information.

Formatting The sections of an article, with the exception of the introduction, conclusion and bibliography, must be titled and numbered (examples: 1. ; 1.1. ; 1.2 ; 2. ; 2.2. ; 2.2.1 ; 2.2.2. ; 3. ; etc.). Quoted passages are presented in roman and in inverted commas. When the quoting sentence and the quotation exceed three lines, the quotation must be presented (line spacing 1) in Bodoni Bk BT and indented, reducing the font size by one point. Citation references are integrated into the citing text, in accordance with APA standards.

Presentation of the American Psychological Association (APA) Standards

Quotations of less than three (03) lines should be incorporated into the text, between inverted commas, and directly followed by the name of the author, the year of publication and the pagination of the extract quoted (preceded by p., or pp. if the extract covers more than one page). Example: In the case of adolescents, “certain suicide attempts should be understood as an action highlighting a non-transmissible”. (Ghyssels & Goffinet, 2012:92). However, if the document is not paginated, we indicate the paragraph with the abbreviation “paragr.” If the author’s name is incorporated into the sentence, it is followed by

the year of publication in brackets, but the pagination is placed after the quotation, after the inverted comma that closes it. Example: Liguori points out that the relationship of conflict ‘to drive duality, transference and the automatism of repetition is at the heart of Freudian dynamics’ (2017:207). Quotations longer than three lines are presented in an independent block of text, omitting the inverted commas. This block begins on a new line, indented about 1cm from the left and right margins.

How do you present a quotation?

Model quote The process of underdevelopment resulting from this shock is experienced in concrete terms by the populations concerned as a global crisis: a socio-economic crisis (brutal exploitation, permanent unemployment, accelerated and painful exodus), but also a socio-cultural and civilisational crisis reflecting a socio-historical unpreparedness and a failure of human cultures and behaviour to adapt to the forms of life imposed by foreign technologies. Diakité (1985: 105)

Conclusion should not duplicate the summary and discussion. It should be a reminder of the main results obtained and the most important consequences that can be deduced from them.
