Altérités is an academic journal that accepts
French and English articles, research notes, and book reviews from
Canadian and foreign M.A. and Ph.D. students and graduates in the
four sub-disciplines of anthropology (socio-cultural, archaeology,
linguistic, and biological).
The
Altérités Editorial Board has chosen a bi-annual
format for publication. In addition, the committee also encourages
theme-based issues that will appear as “Special Issues”.
Altérités invites M.A. and Ph.D. students and graduates to submit original texts for publication. The journal accepts scientific articles (theoretical and empirical), essays, research notes, critical reviews and (of books) and bibliographical essays. Submitted articles can vary in length, with a maximum of 5000 words (20 pages) for scientific articles, 3000 words (12 pages) for research notes, 1250 words (5 pages) for critical review of a book and 2000 words (8 pages) for bibliographic essays. An Altérités Editorial Board and a board of external evaluators review all texts submitted.
Authors are asked to send their text to the Editorial Board by e-mail at:
comite@alterites.ca
The
journal Altérités follows the norms and guidelines
of the AAA
Style Guide (American Anthropological Association), a standard
for many academic presses and journals in anthropology.

Submitted
texts must include a separate front page indicating the title of the article,
the author’s name, position, institutional affiliation, postal
address (personal or institutional), phone number, and e-mail address.
Abstract
and Keywords
Scientific
articles and research notes should be accompanied by a 150-word
abstract in both French and English. The title and abstract should
be submitted on separate sheets. Authors should also submit 3-5
keywords for their text.
Graphics
Articles
and research notes can include maps, graphs, tables, and photographs,
which should be provided in a separate document. Their placement
in the text must be clearly indicated (ex. Insert Map no. 1). The

References
Bibliographic
references in the text must list, in parentheses, the name of the
author, year of publication, and, when appropriate, the page number.
For example: (Balandier 1994:89). If the name of the author already

order and follow the AAA
Style Guide. The bibliography must be presented on a separate
page at the end of the text.
