Abstract
In this brief account, we shall review the description of the different mechanisms giving rise to itinerant and localized antiferromagnetism in quasi-one-dimensional organic conductors : the Bechgaard salts and their sulfur analogs. We will then focus on the problem of spin correlations and their impact on the pairing mechanism for organic superconductivity.
