Files to send 

The text files that you will send us have to be WORD files (DOC, DOCX, DOCM formats). 

If there are illustrations/images, they have to be sent separately. We are waiting for the source files (JPEG, JPG, PNG, TIF, PDF formats, etc.). 

​

 The Mauss International being only digital, it can be enriched. It is therefore possible to provide images, videos, links to external sites, or even music: the final document (PDF) will be interactive and will include all these enrichments. 

​

 If possible, please use the blank Word provided with this protocol and only apply the pre-registered style sheets for the text. The most used are: “epigraph”, “standard text”, “footnote”, “quotation”, “chapter title”, “title 1”, “title 2”, “title 3” and “reference”.

Sources

For the Mauss International, we use the “Anglo-Saxon” system for the sources. This consists in inserting inside the text (immediately after the quotation, the paraphrase, etc.) a parenthesis containing the bibliographical reference. Are noted: the name of the author, the year of the cited document and the reference page. If the author has published several titles in the same year, they have to be distinguished by a lowercase letter placed immediately after the date. If several authors are quoted, the references should be separated by “;”. 

​

Example: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet (Bataille, 1989a, p. 128, 1989b), consectetur adipiscing elit. Maecenas posuere libero vitae dolor auctor, vel iaculis eros aliquet (Bataille, 1989a; Boas, 1929, 1966). 

•  This system implies that the bibliography appearing at the end of the work have to be written in the same form (see below). 

 

Bibliography 

The final bibliography must include all the documents (regardless of their form) used to carry out this work. It is NECESSARY that it is harmonized and it must present the same information, in these ways: 

​

FITZHUGH W. W. & CROWELL A. (1988), Crossroads of Continents: Cultures of Siberia and Alaska, Washington D.C., Smithsonial Institution Press. 

DUBOIS J. (et al.) (1996), Les méthodes de la géographie, Paris, PUF. 

​

• The contribution in a collective work 

COLE D. (1991), “The History of the Kwakiutl Potlatch”, in JONAITIS A. (ed.), Chiefly Feasts: the Enduring Kwakiutl Potlatch, New York, The American Museum of Natural History. 

 

• Periodical article 

CREEL H. G. (1935), “On the Origins of the Manufacture and Decoration of Bronze in the Shang Period”, in Monumenta Serica, vol. 1, n° 1, p. 39-69. 

​

If possible, put the author's name in small capitals (whose keyboard shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + K, if this is not possible, leave it in lowercase. 

​

The references to footnote 

The references to footnotes must come before any punctuation marks, including quotation marks. On the other hand, if the reference to footnotes concerns several quotations in a row, it remains outside the quotation marks. 

 

Example: 

On the contrary, according to him, “truly socialist” education should be confused “with life itself”  : “Socialism alone can make thinking among the people, not a school farce that ends at thirteen, when the child enters the workshop, but a habit and a truth2.” 

​

It is important not to make the footnotes by hand but to use the appropriate tool, which you will find here: WORD toolbar > References > Insert Footnote. (Also, we prefer footnotes to endnotes.)
