- the articles should be submitted until July 1st of each year; articles received after this date will be kept, with the author’s permission, for the portfolio of the subsequent issue.
- we accept articles written in Romanian, English (articles in Romanian will be translated, with the author’s consent, into English, by the editorial panel), German, and French.
- the authors agree to follow all provisions of the copyright law and the papers will be accepted after a peer review process that will verify if the papers meet the scientific and editorial requirements.

When an author is cited with several works published in the same year, one will reference them as Mărginean 2010a; Mărginean 2010b. At the end, the authors will be listed alphabetically, according to the name of the first authors, then the name of the second authors; in case an author is cited with several works, the latter will be listed chronologically.
- the bibliographic referencing system is unique, i.e. footnotes (the name of the author, followed by the year of publication; for example: Gumă 1993); quotations in the text will be placed between quotation marks, and the reference will include the page(s) (Gumă 1993, 56-57); for ancient authors one will use for example Polybius, The histories, VI, 31.10 (p. 377)
