EDITORIAL GUIDELINES

 Submissions shall be sent to the following address: cst@academia-cj.ro. Accepted languages:

Romanian (single-author or collective volumes), French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and
especially English. Submissions in languages other than Romanian should be revised by a native
speaker.
 Authors pledge to abide by the provisions of copyright law.
 Submissions are accepted for publication once the editorial staff ascertains that the mandatory
scientific, linguistic and editorial standards have been respected, and following a peer review process.
 The editorial staff can operate changes in the texts accepted for publication, in order to bring them in
line with the Center's style sheet.
 Given the fact that the four issues of the Transylvanian Review annual volume include a limited
number of pages (160 each), contributors are kindly asked to be economical when it comes to the length
of their submissions, thus making it possible for more studies to be included in a single issue.
 The four annual supplements to the review (with a maximum of 320 pages each) operate under a
different thematic regime; they are coordinated by one of more authors (editors), who cooperate with the
editorial staff in order to ensure that publication standards are respected and who fully finance the
publication of the supplement in question.
 The authors of books and the coordinators of the supplements shall send the texts only in their final
form, and nor as work in progress. The full table of contents should be accompanied by
files/chapters/articles listed in the proper order, not jumbled together in a single file.
 In estimating the length of their submissions, authors must take into account the fact that one page of
the Transylvanian Review includes 3,000 characters (including spaces), plus one page set aside for title,
abstract, and keywords. One page of the supplement includes 3,230 characters (including spaces), plus
one page set aside for title, abstract, and keywords.
 If the submitted article has been drawn up in the framework of a national or European project, this
shall be stated in a note inserted at the beginning of the article, at the bottom of the first page.
