Archives des Sciences: A Multidisciplinary Journal welcomes the submission of original full-length research papers as well as shorter scholarly manuscripts reporting significant and novel findings. The journal does not impose strict limits on overall manuscript length or individual sections; however, authors are encouraged to present their research clearly, concisely, and in a manner accessible to readers within and beyond their immediate discipline.
Manuscripts must be submitted through the journal’s online submission system, Open Journal System (OJS). The online system provides a secure and traceable record of submission, editorial assessment, peer review, revision, and final decision. Authors experiencing technical difficulties during submission may contact the Editorial Office at editor@unige.org for assistance.
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Manuscripts should preferably be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) format. Where appropriate, LaTeX source files may also be accepted. For initial review, authors may upload the complete manuscript, including tables and figures, as a single PDF file.
Tables and figures may be incorporated within the manuscript or uploaded separately where required. Authors should ensure that all figures are of sufficient quality for editorial assessment and eventual publication.
Detailed requirements concerning manuscript organization, references, tables, figures, declarations, supplementary materials, and other submission requirements are provided in the Instructions for Authors.
EDITORIAL POLICIES
By submitting a manuscript to Archives des Sciences: A Multidisciplinary Journal, the authors confirm that the work is original, has not been previously published in substantially the same form, and is not simultaneously under consideration by another journal. Previous publication of an abstract, conference summary, preprint, or other permitted preliminary version should be disclosed where applicable.
The corresponding author is responsible for confirming that all listed authors have made appropriate contributions to the work, have reviewed and approved the submitted manuscript, and agree to its submission to the journal.
Authors must identify and comply with all ethical requirements relevant to their research. Studies involving human participants, animals, confidential information, clinical data, or other ethically sensitive material must include appropriate ethical statements, approvals, permissions, and informed-consent information where applicable. Authors should consult the journal’s publication and research ethics policies for detailed requirements.
All authors must disclose any financial, personal, professional, institutional, or other relationships that could reasonably be perceived as influencing the research or its interpretation. Where no competing interests exist, an explicit declaration stating this should be included in the manuscript.
Authors retain copyright in articles published by Archives des Sciences: A Multidisciplinary Journal. Accepted articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0).

Research manuscripts considered suitable after initial editorial assessment undergo single-blind peer review. Under this model, reviewers may know the identities of the authors, while reviewer identities remain confidential. Manuscripts are normally evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with appropriate expertise in the subject area.
The journal reserves the right to decline manuscripts before external peer review when they are outside the journal’s scope, do not meet basic scholarly or ethical standards, lack sufficient originality or relevance, or do not comply with essential submission requirements. Final publication decisions are made by the Editor-in-Chief or an authorized senior academic editor on the basis of editorial assessment, reviewer reports, author revisions, and the manuscript’s overall scholarly quality.
