==Abstract==

The author shows in this article that a coherent description of  the Sagnac effect for massive particles, which takes account of  length contraction and time dilation can only be obtained with  a so called ?absolute? clock synchronization parameter. Any  other synchronization leads to an incoherent description  between the point of view of an observer on the rotating  platform and a non-rotating observer. This demonstration  generalises the one made by Selleri and the author for the  Sagnac effect with electromagnetic waves.
