Procedure for submitting an article proposal

Management & Organisations du Sport is an overlay journal which relies on a prior deposit in an open repository to which the journal, via the evaluation process, brings a scientific added value. Thus, the submission of an article proposal to the journal requires a preliminary deposit in the HAL open repository.

Step 1: Deposit in HAL

Attention: the validation by the services of HAL is not automatic and can take several days. There is thus a time of latency between the step 1 and the step 2. You have to wait for an email of validation to be able to pass to the second stage (NB: do not confuse the email received during the deposit and the email of validation of the deposit).

In the case of a new version, add a version to the initial deposit in HAL and do not create a new deposit (with new identifier).

Step 2: Deposit on the site of MOS from the HAL identifier

During the submission of the article, the HAL identifier of the manuscript will be asked you.

That it is to deposit your manuscript in HAL or to submit an article to the review, you will have to have an account. If you already have a HAL or Sciencesconf account, it is not necessary to create a new one.
