Submission guidelines:

In Passage welcomes original (never published) contributions in French and English on the wide subject of writing and mobility. It publishes articles in the fields of literature, civilization, linguistics, and translation.

Articles should be between 5000 and 8000 words and follow MLA sheet.

Articles should be one-and-a-half-spaced and use 12-point Times New Roman font.

In-text parenthetical references, rather than footnotes or endnotes, should be used. A list

of works cited should be inserted of every article.

Explanatory notes should be kept to a minimum. Endnotes, rather than footnotes, should be used.

Additional requirements:

Use only one space after periods and other punctuation marks.
Place endnote superscript numbers immediately after punctution marks, with no space between the period/comma and the number.

Italicize (rather than underline) monograph and journal titles as well as foreign words and expressions.

Use double quotations marks (" ") whenever placing text in "quotation marks".  Use single quotation marks only when needed inside double ones, as in the following example: He asked me: "Can you explain the quotation 'Cogito ergo sum'"?

Use the title "Works Cited", instead of "Bibliography", to introduce the list of works you have cited in your article.

In the Works Cited section, write the authors' names in full; do not use initials.

Insert the ready-to-click URL addresses for all electronic sources. Insert the date of access as well.
