Editorial Policy

The journal Etudes Médiévales Anglaises (ÉMA, ISSN : 0240-8805) is published by the French Higher Education Society for the Study of Medieval England (AMAES). The journal was founded in 1972 under the name Bulletin des Anglicistes Médiévistes (BAM). Originally conceived as a tool for communication within the society, the journal has gradually evolved to become an international scientific journal, publishing many authors unaffiliated to the society. To reflect that change, in 2018, the journal changed its name.

The journal is concerned with all aspects of medieval England. It is an interdisciplinary journal, which welcomes all methodological and theoretical approaches. Publications in the fields of literature, philology, linguistics, history and art history are especially welcome. While Old and Middle English texts take pride of place, other areas also fall within the scope of the journal: Anglo-Latin and Anglo-Norman texts, representations of medieval England in other corpora, modern and present-day medievalisms, political or cultural connections between medieval England and the rest of the British Isles or the continent.

The languages of the journal are French and English. Two issues are published every year. Since 2018, each issue contains several papers focusing on the same theme. Some issues also contain book reviews.

For each issue, a call for papers is widely circulated beforehand. Current calls for papers may be found on our website.

Each article is submitted to double-blind review, within 3 months of receiving the paper.

The definitive acceptance of the paper is conditional on the author taking into account the revisions required by the editorial committee.

Authors are not charge for submitting or publishing their paper with us.

Proposals for book reviews may be submitted directly to the Assistant Editor at any time.

The author of the article guarantees that its contents are original and do not include any plagiarized material (including texts previously published by the same author). All sources used in the paper must be identified correctly and any significant contribution by a third party must be explicitly acknowledged (in some cases, it can be naming that person as a co-author). If an image is included, the author must ensure that they are authorized to publish it in their article.

The author authorizes the journal to publish their article in the printed edition of the relevant issue and, in digital format (two years after the initial publication), on the Persee platform, as part of our partnership with them.

The author guarantees that they will not republish their article (in part or in its entirety) in another publication without first obtaining the authorization of the journal Études Médiévales Anglaises.

The experts assessing the papers guarantee that they will formulate their comments in a constructive and polite manner.

The editorial board of the journal guarantee that all articles submitted on time will be evaluated fairly and anonymously, and that the author will be informed of the result of that evaluation, be it positive or negative.

The editorial board guarantees that accepted papers will be published in the relevant printed issue of the journal and that they will be passed on to Persee so that they can be published digitally two years after the initial publication.

The journal Études Médiévales Anglaises authorizes the author to make the final published version of their article available on a public online archive one year after the initial publication. The version made available online must clearly indicate the bibliographical references of the issue in which the paper was originally published.
