About this journal
Aims and scope
Contemporary French and Francophone Studies: SITES publishes the latest and best production of those involved in the field of 20 th and 21 st century French and Francophone studies, whether academics, novelists, poets, artists, filmmakers, photographers, or philosophers, to name only those. In the process, the journal aims to reflect the increasingly interdisciplinary direction taken by the field and by the humanities in general.
CF&FS: SITES is published five times per year, with four issues dedicated to specific themes and a fifth issue, the “Open Issue,” accepting submissions on a full spectrum of issues. We encourage submissions from a wide range of contributors from across the disciplines, ranging from established academics and personalities to graduate students and non-academics.
The journal publishes original research articles, essays, round tables, interviews, and occasional pieces of fiction and poetry.
CF&FS: SITES is co-edited by Roger Célestin and Eliane Dalmolin at the University of Connecticut.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
