As the publishing house of the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, Éditions de la MSH publishes original, rigorous research works with an international outlook. It invites researchers to submit manuscripts that correspond to its editorial scope.

Submission guidelines

Proposals must be sent exclusively by email to editions-msh@msh-paris.fr, as a complete manuscript in Word format, without specific layout requirements.

Each submission must include the information required to assess its academic and editorial relevance:

Academic biography of the author
Email address
For edited volumes: name(s) of the editor(s) (maximum of two)
Proposed title of the work
Origin of the manuscript (thesis, conference, workshop, etc.)
Abstract, main argument and academic positioning (1–2 pages)
Intended readership (½ page)

Evaluation and review process

Particular attention is paid to the scientific quality of submissions, which are subject to a double evaluation process: academic and editorial.

Only complete manuscripts are reviewed. Incomplete submissions or those sent by post are not taken into account. No acknowledgement of receipt is sent, and follow-up enquiries are discouraged. If no response is received within three months, the manuscript should be considered as not selected.

Authors must confirm that they hold the rights to their text and agree to comply with applicable legal provisions.
