Submission and evaluation guidelines are published on the journal's website, in English and French. Manuscripts can only be submitted via the manuscript management platform, which can be accessed from any page of the journal's website.
The platform enables the management of all processes and actions involved in the blind review of articles and communication with authors and reviewers: checking compliance with the journal guidelines (form, style, plagiarism, ...) and assigning manuscripts to the editor-in-chief, allocating the manuscript to an associate editor whose expertise is close to the subject of the manuscript, selecting and inviting reviewers, submitting the evaluation report via a standardized form, automatic reminders in the event of late review, rating by the associate editor of the quality of reviews, transmission of recommendations and decisions, communication with all parties involved (authors, reviewers and associated editors), etc. The platform also allows the generation of all statistics related to the manuscript review process.

Recent research shows that the adoption of standards is influenced by cultural and organisational factors, with tensions sometimes arising, as seen in France's critical reception of ISO 45001. The proliferation of standards, referred to as "Tétranormalisation," also creates challenges by generating conflicts between different norms. This special i ...
