Instructions for Authors
Please read the guidelines below carefully
The official language of the Journées de Statistique is French. However, in order to facilitate exchanges with international guests and sister societies, we encourage all speakers to prepare their slides in English, even if they plan to give their presentation in French. Non-French-speaking authors may of course present their communication in English, with both the short abstract and the long abstract written in English.
Submissions for contributed talks can be made on this website, via the link above, from 18 December 2025 to 9 February 2026.
Acceptance of submitted contributed talks will be decided by the Scientific Committee. For now, only oral contributions in sessions are planned, but the Scientific Committee reserves the right to offer participation solely in the “poster” session should such a session eventually be organised.
Required elements for a submission
To propose a contribution, you must prepare the following items:
-
A title
-
A short abstract for the participant booklet. This abstract should allow the reader to quickly grasp the main topic. Mathematical formulas written in LaTeX may be included.
-
One (or several) thematic areas to be selected from the list provided during the “Metadata” step of the submission process. If you are invited to a session organised by one of the SFdS specialised groups, please select the corresponding thematic area (these will appear once the organised sessions are set up).
-
A long text (2 to 6 pages) that will be made available on the conference website. This long text must include the title of the communication, the author(s) (with the name(s) of the speaker(s) underlined), their affiliation, and their email address. In addition to a description of the communication, it must include the short abstract in French (if possible), its English translation, a list of keywords, and a bibliography. It must be uploaded in PDF format on the submission site using one of the templates (LaTeX or Word/OpenOffice) available here 🌐 (.zip). An .Rmd template is also available here.
The author submitting a contribution is the contact person for that submission. Multiple submissions may be made with the same account.
Submission procedure
The steps to submit a communication are as follows:
-
Log in to Sciencesconf.org using the “Connexion” button at the top right of this page (if needed, create an account using the dropdown arrow instead).
-
Go to My Space > My Submissions and click on “Submit a communication”.
-
Follow the instructions. By default, the procedure consists of 4 steps:
-
(3a) Metadata Step
Enter the title, the short abstract (500 words maximum), and the thematic area(s) related to your communication (to select more than one theme, hold the “Ctrl” key on Windows or “Command” on Mac OS).
-
(3b) Author(s) Step
This section allows you to enter the authors of your submission. You may add as many authors as you like by clicking “Add an author”. For each author, indicate whether they are a speaker or not.
-
(3c) File(s) Step
This step allows you to upload the PDF file containing the long text describing your communication. Do not forget to click the “Transfer” button. The file must appear at the bottom under FILE.
-
(3d) Summary Step
This last step allows you to view your submission (all metadata entered and the uploaded long text). Check that the name(s) of the speaker(s) are correctly underlined (if not, this can be corrected by returning to step (3b) and clicking the edit pencil instead of using the checkbox). If you wish to modify any information, click on the previous steps. If you wish to finalise the submission process, click “Submit”.
A detailed documentation of the submission procedure and the follow-up of a submission (the different statuses; how to modify a submission; how to access reviewers’ notes and comments) is available at the following address:

Interest in submission to Computo
When submitting via SciencesConf, you may indicate your interest in publishing an extended English version of your contribution in Computo, the SFdS journal dedicated to reproducible research in statistics and machine learning, by selecting the theme “Interest in submission to Computo”. If the JDS Program Committee deems your work within the journal’s scope, you will be invited to submit a full-length article to Computo. The editorial and technical teams may assist you in preparing a reproducible version of the manuscript, with a target submission by the end of June 2026, and publication planned for late 2026 following peer review.
