Certain information must be included on a website, as specified in the law for confidence in the digital economy.<\/u><\/a> A scientific journal must indicate the obligatory mentions of a legal entity (company), plus some additional obligatory mentions related to the publishing activity. The Ministry of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty provides a summary table<\/u><\/a> of these mentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the case of a scientific journal, the following table summarises the information to be included in the “Legal information” section (Excel version<\/a>):<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Example of legal notice in French<\/a>, to be completed with your information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Example of a legal notice in English<\/a>, to be completed with your information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The contact section allows you to reach the magazine. It may therefore contain any information useful for contacting the editorial secretariat or members of the editorial board:<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two main types of homepage: an introductory paragraph or a display of the latest publications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The introductory paragraph gives a broad presentation of the journal: history, scope of the journal, funders, how the journal is consulted, etc. This is the case, for example, with the Annales Henri Lebesgue<\/u><\/a> or the Annales math\u00e9matiques Blaise Pascal<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some journals emphasise the value of their publications by providing direct access to the latest articles. This is the case, for example, with the Peer Community Journal<\/u><\/a> or Open Geomechanics<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n It is important to include the ISSN on the homepage and the legal notice at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\n\n Displaying the search engine on the home page also allows published articles to be highlighted.<\/p>\n\n This page displays either a list of all published journal issues, in chronological order, or the latest published issues. This page allows you to search directly for an article when you know the reference of the publication. A search engine also makes it possible to query the entirety of the articles and their content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some journals have a “forthcoming articles” page.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The ‘About’ page contains all information related to the organisation of the journal:<\/p>\n\n This part, which is essential, identifies the various responsibilities within the journal: director of publication, editor-in-chief, editorial secretary, etc.<\/p>\n\n In this section, authors will find instructions on how to write and submit an article to the journal:<\/p>\n\n Files preparation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Intellectual property<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The intellectual property policy may be recalled here, or may appear only on this page.<\/p>\n\n Ethics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Declaration of ethics :<\/p>\n\n It is also interesting to propose a page “Instructions to rapporteurs” in order to guide the work of proofreading as well as possible: deadlines to respect, criteria to apply…<\/p>\n\n The footer traditionally contains the following information:<\/p>\n\n![\"Summary](\"https:\/\/www.centre-mersenne.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-11.png\")
