\nThe text<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe text: please apply the \u00ab\u00a0Normal\u00a0\u00bb style without tabulation. Do not use tabs, spaces or page breaks, they will disappear when put online. For titles, please apply Style: Title 1, Title 2, Title 3 according to levels in Microsoft Word. Links should refer to sites that are accessible on the web and not to local files.
\nThe\u00a0 tables\u00a0 will\u00a0 be\u00a0 made\u00a0 under\u00a0 word\u00a0 by\u00a0 the\u00a0 menu\u00a0 \u00ab\u00a0table\u00a0 + insert\u00a0\u00bb. Excel charts will be converted to images. Quotations are in quotation marks and in italics. References to citations are made directly in the text and not by footnote.
\nA quotation ends with a parenthesis indicating the author, the year. Ex. (Tchotsoua, 2001, Havard, 2001). If the name of the author is quoted in the sentence, indicate the date.
\nThe notes are at the bottom of the page with a call of notes in the text.\u00a0Spelling and syntax. The\u00a0 journal\u00a0 expects\u00a0 authors\u00a0 to\u00a0 have\u00a0 their\u00a0 article\u00a0 written\u00a0according\u00a0 to\u00a0 the\u00a0 common\u00a0 rules\u00a0 of\u00a0 spelling\u00a0 and\u00a0 syntax. Careful proofreading is therefore\u00a0 required on the part of the authors\u00a0 before\u00a0 submission.\u00a0 An\u00a0 article\u00a0 that\u00a0 does\u00a0 not\u00a0 respect the\u00a0 basic\u00a0 rules\u00a0 of\u00a0 writing\u00a0 may\u00a0 be\u00a0 rejected\u00a0 for\u00a0 this\u00a0 simple\u00a0reason.
\nAdditional images and files<\/span><\/strong>
\nIn\u00a0 the\u00a0 article,\u00a0 the presentation\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 images\u00a0 is\u00a0 done\u00a0 in\u00a0 the\u00a0following way :
\nIllustration<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Title of illustration
\n\u2022 Source of illustration (optional)
\n\u2022 Legend of illustration (optional)
\nFor maps, always indicate the scale.
\nThe\u00a0 illustrations\u00a0 must\u00a0 be\u00a0 inserted\u00a0 in\u00a0 your\u00a0 text,\u00a0 but\u00a0 also provided\u00a0 in\u00a0 separate\u00a0 files\u00a0 (extra\u00a0 files)\u00a0 when\u00a0 you\u00a0 deposit\u00a0 on our platform. When submitting the additional file, please enter the following information in the title:\u00a0 NameAuthor_TypeFigureNumFigure. Example:\u00a0 Talla_carte1.jpg or Talla_table\u00a0 1.doc\u00a0 or dupont_figure1.png.
\nTo avoid mistakes:<\/strong><\/span>
\nYou\u00a0 must\u00a0 insert\u00a0 each\u00a0 image\u00a0 in\u00a0 its\u00a0 place\u00a0 in\u00a0 the\u00a0 article\u00a0 or failing that, indicate the name of the file provided separately to\u00a0 avoid\u00a0 any\u00a0 confusion\u00a0 in\u00a0 the\u00a0 placement\u00a0 and\u00a0 order\u00a0 of\u00a0 the figures.
\nYou will also specify the exact location of the tables with the file name, which you have put in additional files so that there is no confusion. Also, do not forget to check that the references cited in\u00a0 the body\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 text\u00a0 correspond\u00a0 to\u00a0 the\u00a0 numbering\u00a0 of\u00a0 the illustrations before depositing your article.
\nThe format of the images<\/span><\/strong>
\nAuthors should check that the illustrations have a resolution sufficient to be legible at least 200 to 300 dpi. An\u00a0 image\u00a0 inserted\u00a0 into\u00a0 a\u00a0 Word\u00a0 document\u00a0 provided\u00a0 in\u00a0 the body of the article should be at least 1,000 pixels wide. For a file\u00a0 in\u00a0 the\u00a0 appendix,\u00a0 its\u00a0 width\u00a0 should\u00a0 be between\u00a0 2,500\u00a0 and 3,500 pixels.<\/p>\n

It\u00a0 is\u00a0 also\u00a0 important\u00a0 to\u00a0 ensure\u00a0 that\u00a0 the\u00a0 quality\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 image suffers\u00a0 the\u00a0 least\u00a0 possible\u00a0 degradation\u00a0 during\u00a0 its\u00a0 processing, and\u00a0 to\u00a0 ensure\u00a0 that\u00a0 a\u00a0 reworked\u00a0 version\u00a0 is\u00a0 as\u00a0 faithful\u00a0 as possible\u00a0 to\u00a0 the\u00a0 original\u00a0 (It\u00a0 is\u00a0 necessary\u00a0 to\u00a0 ensure,\u00a0 in\u00a0particular, that at\u00a0 the time of the reduction of an image, the proportions\u00a0 height\u00a0 \/ width\u00a0 are\u00a0 well\u00a0 preserved).\u00a0 You\u00a0 will\u00a0 find below in the section \u00ab\u00a0To obtain an optimal quality\u00a0\u00bb a help to the realization of your images.
\nSome key recommendations<\/strong><\/span>
\nIn\u00a0 Photoshop,\u00a0 it\u00a0 is\u00a0 not\u00a0 recommended\u00a0 to\u00a0 choose\u00a0 the\u00a0 option \u00ab\u00a0Save for the\u00a0 Web\u00a0\u00bb, in order\u00a0 to limit certain\u00a0 degradations\u00a0 of the image (the reduction of the resolution in particular); It is therefore preferable to use the option \u00ab\u00a0save as\u00a0\u00bb to keep the\u00a0best possible quality of an image at the time of recording.
\nSaving an image for publication on the Web can be done in GIF,\u00a0 JPEG\u00a0 or\u00a0 PNG\u00a0 format,\u00a0 but\u00a0 should\u00a0 only\u00a0 be\u00a0 in\u00a0 JPEG\u00a0 or PNG format. For electronic publishing, color images in JPEG and\u00a0 PNG\u00a0 format\u00a0 must\u00a0 be\u00a0 in\u00a0 RGB\u00a0 mode\u00a0 and\u00a0 not\u00a0 in\u00a0 CMYK\u00a0mode (used for printing). When to use these image formats.
\nThe\u00a0 GIF\u00a0 compression format\u00a0 is\u00a0 used\u00a0 for\u00a0 images\u00a0 containing flat areas of colour, and few gradients (illustrations, drawings …);\u00a0 This\u00a0 format\u00a0 is\u00a0 to\u00a0 be\u00a0 avoided\u00a0 as\u00a0 much\u00a0 as\u00a0 possible, especially\u00a0 for\u00a0 photographs,\u00a0 because\u00a0 it\u00a0 only\u00a0 supports\u00a0 256\u00a0 colours and greatly degrades the quality of the images; If\u00a0 you\u00a0 are\u00a0 using\u00a0 image\u00a0 processing\u00a0 software,\u00a0 see\u00a0 the documentation\u00a0 for how to\u00a0 save\u00a0 the\u00a0 image in\u00a0 JPEG\u00a0 or PNG format in the best possible quality.
\nIt\u00a0 is\u00a0 not\u00a0 recommended\u00a0 to\u00a0 use\u00a0 the\u00a0 PNG\u00a0 format\u00a0 for\u00a0 images containing areas of transparency because these areas will be misinterpreted\u00a0 by\u00a0 some\u00a0 browsers\u00a0 and\u00a0 will\u00a0 lose\u00a0 their transparency.
\nFor optimum quality<\/strong><\/span>
\nImage\u00a0 formats\u00a0 for\u00a0 Web\u00a0 (JPEG\u00a0 and\u00a0 GIF)\u00a0 degrade\u00a0 image quality, such as removing or replacing pixels. The purpose of this type of format is to produce an image of less weight than the\u00a0 original,\u00a0 playing\u00a0 on\u00a0 alterations\u00a0 normally\u00a0 invisible\u00a0 (or almost invisible) by the eye.
\nThe recording in one of these formats must take place at the end of the processing of the image. That is when the image is\u00a0 ready to be published definitively.\u00a0 For the\u00a0 quality of the image deteriorates a little more each time irreversibly and that\u00a0can produce images that are totally illegible or unusable at the\u00a0 time\u00a0 of\u00a0 their\u00a0 publication.\u00a0 It\u00a0 is\u00a0 therefore\u00a0 strongly recommended to save an image in these formats only when all the desired changes have been made to the image.
\nUntil its last modification, the image should be saved only in lossless formats (PSD, PNG, TIFF) and at the end in JPEG or GIF format. The PNG format is most\u00a0 recommended.
\nTitles of illustrations<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe titles of the tables are placed above and numbered with Arabic numerals. For the other illustration\u2019s (figures, photos, boxes), the titles are placed after. The titles do not appear in the\u00a0 illustration\u00a0 but\u00a0 in\u00a0 the\u00a0 text\u00a0 and\u00a0 respect\u00a0 the\u00a0 following\u00a0presentation: Figure\u00a0 1.\u00a0 Evolution\u00a0 of\u00a0 land-use\u00a0 patterns\u00a0 on\u00a0 the\u00a0 Adamaoua\u00a0plateau between 2000 and 2016.
\nSources of illustrations<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe\u00a0 source\u00a0 of\u00a0 the\u00a0 illustration\u00a0 must\u00a0 be\u00a0 clearly\u00a0 indicated.\u00a0 The source of the data used to produce the illustration (e.g., Earth Explorer, 2001) and the source of the illustration itself should be\u00a0 specified\u00a0 if\u00a0 the\u00a0 author\u00a0 uses\u00a0 an\u00a0 illustration\u00a0 already\u00a0published in a book.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
