Instructions to authors

Articles submitted to Revue Française d’Economie et de Gestion must be original (not already published or being evaluated by another journal) and dealing with managerial or organizational issues offering both an important theoretical contribution and a interest to practitioners. The journal is also open to original bibliographic summaries and critical reflection notes.

Any article sent to Revue Française d’Economie et de Gestion will be subject to a double-blind evaluation (i.e. the author does not know the name of the reviewers, and the latter do not know the name of the author).

At the end of the review process, the author (s) receives one of the following four decisions:

Acceptance of the article without modifications
Acceptance of the article with minor modifications
Major modifications requested (results in a new submission)
Refusal

Drafting standards:

Like all journals, we have strict rules regarding the presentation of manuscripts:

The article submitted for publication must be in Word format and must be an original text that has not been submitted to another journal.

The proposed article must be in 1.5 line spacing in Word (Times New Roman 12 characters) between 10 to 25 A4 size front pages.

Authors should ensure that there is a strict correspondence between citations in the text and the bibliography and endeavor to indicate the page of the article or work cited.

The first page of the article must include the title of the article in French and English, the name of the author (s), their status, functions, contact details and email addresses

The 2nd page contains the title of the article, the abstract (200 words maximum) and key words (5) in French and English.

The titles and sub-titles must be numbered according to the “tiered” system (1., 1.1., 1.1.1.) With at most three levels. They should be short and to the point.

The notes, as few as possible (the standard is one note for 4 to 5 pages), will be given at the end of each page and numbered in the order they appear in the text.

Illustrations, tables, notes, etc. are referred to in the text on the page where they appear. Titles and captions should be as explicit as possible without being overly long. Tables and figures are numbered in their order of appearance (Table 1…, Figure 1…). Their origin (source, date of publication) must be mentioned by a note located below the table or figure.

The bibliography, listed in alphabetical order, must be presented according to the following standards which must be strictly observed:
