Articles and Notes

Articles, but not Short Notes, should include an summary of between 100 and 200 words in French and English placed at the beginning of the article. Please supply full contact details including a short biography with institutional affiliation. Revue de Qumrân publishes affiliation and academic address of each author in each issue.

For submission and to facilitate anonymous refereeing, the author's name and institution should not appear in the submited article. Attention should be paid also on self-references, acknowledgments, or the metadata of electronic document, etc.

Revue de Qumrân uses a double-blind peer review system. The Journal committee undertakes to provide a reply within reasonable time.

English articles should follow the SBL Handbook of Style (2nd Edition) and Chicago Manual of Style. Recent issues of the Journal are the best guide to its stylistic and scholarly conventions.
