The INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF VINE AND WINE SCIENCES publishes original works and syntheses, as well as research notes in French or in English, in the fields of wine-growing and oenological science and technology.

Articles are submitted for evaluation to two specialised readers, selected by the Chief Editor, either from among the members of the reading committee, or a person of his/her own choice.

Research notes should not contain more than 1 500 words, two illustrations (figure and/or table) and 5 bibliographical references; the summary (English only) should not exceed 150 words. The notes will be subject to an accelerated evaluation procedure.

Manuscripts must be sent in triplicate to the editorial staff, or sent by E-mail to the secretarial staff:

Texts must be accompanied by a floppy disk (cf. Instructions for the computerised preparation of documents).

Presentation of manuscripts: The text must be printed with double spacing, on one side only, and with a margin of at least 5 cm. Pages and lines are to be numbered. The original articles should include:

1. A brief, precise title, without abbreviations or chemical formulas (except for isotopes). The title will also be given in an abbreviated form.
2. The surname of the author, preceded by the first name in full.
3. The full written name and address (with telephone and fax numbers, E-mail address) of the establishment at which the work has been done.

Specify the address for correspondence and for the offprints.

The original works should be written, as far as is possible, according to the following plan:

• Summary: for works written in French, the summary in French must contain less than 100 words and the summary in English 500 to 600 words; for works written in English, the summary in English must not exceed 100 words and the summary in French 500 to 600 words. They should be written in such a way as to allow the document departments to exploit them. Footnotes, bibliographical references and non-defined abbreviations are not authorised.
• Key words: To enable the article to be indexed in document files, a maximum of 5 key words, in French and in English, are to be provided; avoid plurals.
• Introduction: Indicate the objective of the work undertaken, in relation with results already known in this field.
• Materials and analytical and experimental methods are to be given, in concise form but with all the details that would enable another researcher to repeat the tests.
• Results
• Discussion
• Conclusion
• Acknowledgements of collaborators, financial aid...
• Bibliographical references: These should be indicated in the text, with the authorâs name followed by the year of publication; if the cited article is the work of two authors, both should be cited; when there are more than two authors, only the first is to be indicated, followed by et al. At the end of the article, the list of references should be drawn up, in alphabetical order from the surname of the first author and in chronological date order for works by the same author, in the following way:

  • Work fully cited:
    HUGLIN P., 1986. Biologie et écologie de la vigne. Ed. Payot, Lausanne.
  • Citation from part of a work:
    PAVAN F. and PAVANETTO E., 1997. Seasonal abundance of Typhlocybinae at different leaf position, 135-141. In: Influence of environmental factors on the control of grape pests, diseases and weeds. ed. Balkema, Rotterdam 351 p.
  • Thesis:

References to theses, which are part of an examination, are not authorised. The same is true for the notes "unpublished data, manuscript in preparation, manuscript submitted for publication". The note "personal correspondence" is admitted in the text but may not be included in the list of references.

Illustrations: tables and figures must be submitted separately from the text. Tables are to be numbered in Roman numerals, and figures in Arabic numerals. The titles and captions of the tables and figures are to be written in French and English and printed on a separate sheet. The desired place for tables and figures should be indicated on the manuscript, in the margin facing the text.
Figures must be submitted in completed form, so that they may be printed directly. Lettering (symbols, numbers, etc.) must be uniform for all the figures.

Photographs: good-quality proofs must be provided by authors. When microphotographs are sent, please indicate clearly the magnification made.

Units of measurement: should be those of the IS International System of Units (cf. Legal units of measurement. Document International n° 2, OIML. : ISO 1000 Standard: AFNOR Standards NFX 02-006).

Correction of articles: Proofs will be sent to the authors indicated for correspondence. They are to be corrected and a copy is to be returned to the editors within 72 hours. If this time limit is not respected, the editor reserves the right to print, after his/her own corrections, without the authorsâ corrections.
