1. Introduction
This document provides style guidelines which must be respected by authors
in order to ensure the uniform appearance of articles published in Hermes
Science journals. This document should be used as a model, particularly
for the first page, the headers, sub-titles, headings, etc.
2. Appearence
The main body of the
text is in Times Roman (Mac)/Times New Roman
(PC), 10pt on 12pt, lower case, without breaks
in the text, and with a 5mm indent at the
beginning of each paragraph. A space of 6pt
should be left between each paragraph (format
> paragraph > spacing after >
6pt).
All titles and subtitles conform to the style outlined in 2.2. Authors
wishing to emphasise a term may use bold or italic but
never underscore. In titles capital letters should be avoided as far
as possible.
2.1. Format
The page shoulb be set up as follow :
- width of text (or justification) : 120 mm exactly,
- heidth of text (including notes) : 190 mm maximum.
The first page of the article has a specific layout. Details are given in
2.2.1. Items to include on this page are: the title of the article,
first and last names of the author(s), their affiliation(s), an abstract
and key words in English and French. The article itself begins at the
top of page 2. All text is justified.
2.1.1. Margins and format

a block of text 120mm x 190mm. In the menu go to:

2.1.2. Headers
All headers should be in Times New Roman 9pt, appearance normal.
View > header:
even page > page number followed by five blank spaces and then
the journal title, volume - issue no. and year, all flush left (see
headers of this document for an example)
odd page > (short) title of the article: 40 characters maximum,
then 5 spaces and the page number, all flush right (see headers of
this document for an example).
2.2. Titles and subtitles
2.2.1. First page of the article
The title of the article (in English, a title in French should be given
in the appendix) must be informative and concise (3-8 significant
words). When the title exceeds 40 characters, the author should provide
a shortened version for the header of odd-numbered pages.
The title is in Times New Roman, bold, 18pt on 20pt, aligned left.
It is preceded by a carriage return and has an upper border 20pts
away:
format > borders and shading >
top > width: ¼ pt options
> top: 20pt
It is followed by two blank lines (12pt). If there is a sub-title,
it is in Times new Roman, bold, 12pt on 12 pt.
The author(s)'(s) names are next, in Times New Roman 12pt on 12pt,
bold, preceded by two blank lines, and followed by one blank line.
The author(s)'(s) details (affiliation, professional address, e-mail
address, no telephone number or fax) are in Times New Roman 10pt on
12pt, italic with a blank line before and after. The e-mail address
is separated from the affiliation by 3pt.
A model of this first page, with the example of more than one author
with different addresses is given in Appendix I.
The abstract and keywords must be given in English and French in the
following order (when the article is in English): Abstract, résumé,
key words, mots-clés.
All of this is in Times New Roman, italic, 9pt on 11pt, except the
headings ABSTRACT, RÉSUMÉ, etc., which are in small
capitals, 7pt, with 3pt between paragraphs.
The first paragraph has an upper border (¼ pt) 4pt away, and
the final paragraph is followed by a lower border (also ¼ pt)
also 4 pt away.
At the foot of the first page is the 'signature' of the article which
comprises the title of the journal, volume number, year of issue and
pagination of the article. It is in Times New Roman 9pt and will be
created by the production department when the whole issue is put together.
2.2.2. Paragraph titles and headings
All titles and heading should all be aligned left, with no indent, numbered
decimally.
- The first level of heading is in Times New Roman, 10pt, with the
number and text in bold, e.g.:
1. Level one
- The second level is in Times New roman, 10pt, bold, italic,
e.g.:
1.1. Level two
- The third level is in Times
New Roman, 10pt, italic, normal, e.g.:
1.2.1. Level three
- The fourth level is in Times New Roman, 10pt, plain, e.g.:
1.2.1.1. Level four
First and second level headings are preceded by two blank lines (22pt)
and followed by one blank line (11pt). Third and fourth level headings
are preceded by one blank line (11pt) and followed by half a blank
line (6pt).
2.3. Indents
5mm at the beginning of each paragraph.
2.4. Footnotes
These are numbered 1 to n in the body of the article, in 8pt . At the foot
of the page the text of the footnote is in Times New Roman, 9pt on 11pt,
justified with no indent. The main body of text and the text of the
footnotes are separated by a thin line (¼pt) 2.5cm long. (This
is the default style in MS Word).
2.5. Figures and tables
Figures, illustrations and tables should be incorporated into the text. Figures
and illustrations are numbered 1 to n in the articles, as are tables.
The legends are in Times New Roman 10pt, bold, justified, with no indent
as follows:
A frame/box is made with a thin (¼pt) line. The box is preceded
and followed by one blank line. There are two blank lines after the
legend.
Figure 3. Author's guidelines
2.6. Formulae and equations
Formulae referred to in the text are numbered from [1] to [n] in square brackets.
The number is put on the first or last line of the formula, flush right.
The formula is separated from the text by one blank line above and below.
If the formula runs over one line, half a blank line should be left
between each line.
2.7. Enumérations
Authors should use dashes. Different sizes of dash can be used at each level.
Bullet points and arrows should be avoided. Example:
- Enumerations should be indented, but if the enumeration runs over
one line, the text should return to the left hand margin, authors can
use em dashes
- and en dashes
In these enumerations the paragraphs are spaced at only 3pt instead
of 6pt. The first line of each point should be indented, subsequent
lines of the enumeration should return to the left-hand margin so that
the body of text still respects the 120mm width.
2.8. Notes
The term 'note' is in small capitals, followed by a full stop, a space and
then an em dash:
NOTE. -
2.9. Punctuation and spelling
Authors are asked to observe the rules of either British English according to
the Oxford English Dictionary, or American English according to Webster.
Please use a single space after a full stop, questions mark, : ; , !,
etc. Please also use double quotation marks, e.g. "quotation".
French authors are asked to note that there are no spaces before colons,
semi-colons, question marks, etc.
2.10. Acknowlegments
Acknowledgements are placed between the conclusion and the bibliography, preceded by
two blank lines. Here is a model:
Acknowledgements
The authors would like to thank...
2.11. Bibliography
/ References
These should be in Times New Roman, 9pt on 11pt. The references are listed
at the end of the article in alphabetical order, separated from each
other by 6pt. In the main body of the article they are presented as
