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).
Publication
Frequency
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”.
Recommendations
for Authors
Altérités,
Revue québécoise des étudiants en anthropologie,
invites M.A. and Ph.D. students and graduates to submit original
texts for publication. The journal accepts scientific articles (theoretical
and empirical), research notes, and book and exhibition reviews.
Submitted articles can vary in length, with a maximum of 37,500
characters (15 pages) for scientific articles, 25,000 characters
(10 pages) for research notes, and 6,250 characters (2 pages) for
book reviews and exhibitions (a list of books available for review
can be found on the Altérités website). An
Altérités Editorial Board and a board of
external evaluators review all texts submitted.

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.

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
sources for each must be identified. Photographs and other digital

References
Bibliographic
references in the text must list, in parentheses, the name of the

For example: (Balandier 1994:89). If the name of the author already
appears in the text, only indicate the year of publication and page
number, if applicable. Bibliographies should be presented in alphabetical
order and follow the AAA
Style Guide. The bibliography must be presented on a separate
page at the end of the text.
