Authors may prepare their manuscript using a standard word processor (Libreoffice, MSWord,…) or Latex. Once the article is accepted for publication, the final version of the file will have to be built with the epidemes office templates (epidemes_template_FR/EN.docx) or, in the case of Latex, the epidemes latex templates (epimath.sty, epiarticle.cls, epidemes_template_FR/EN.tex). References should follow the APA style, which requires, in the case of Latex, the use of bibtex and the apacite package. This will produce the following result: epidemes_template_EN.pdf
The procedure consists of the following steps:
upload the article on an open archive (HAL or arXiv);
log in on the journal website by clicking on the button on top right of the screen (this step requires to have/create an Episciences or HAL account);
click on the button "Submit an article" and follow the instructions. Please note that the Document identifier field has to be filled in with the number of the HAL/arXiv identifier only (e.g. 1601.00000 instead of arXiv:1601.00000).
