Submit a thematic issue.
A process with shared responsibilities.
Although the editorial committee does not take charge of the thematic files, it receives and examines with interest any project for a thematic issue that is submitted to it. On request, the committee sends the information necessary for the preparation of a project to be submitted. If the project is accepted by the editorial committee, a process with shared responsibilities is triggered.
It is up to the issue coordinators.
- Prepare a call for contributions (accompanied by visuals), for which they must obtain the approval of the editorial committee;
- To receive proposed articles, to make a selection, to inform the chosen authors and to check that the texts are up to the standards of the journal;

- It is up to the coordinator, in collaboration with their scientific committee, to send the journal their decision concerning each new version (return to the author for new modifications or publication).
It is up to the editorial board.
- To set up a reading committee for each article submitted (an expert appointed by the coordinator completed by an expert proposed by the journal);
