Terms of Collaboration
The articles and studies sent to our editorial office must be about 8-12 pages (about 3,000 signs per page) in .doc format. The reviews or the scientific notes should not exceed three pages. We receive only electronically processed texts, including via E-mail (socioumane.upsc@gmail.com).
Please accompany your article with a summary (maximum 2,000 characters), the keywords and title are to be in Romanian and in a language of international circulation, and a short presentation of the author (scientific and/or didactic titles, institution of affiliation, areas of professional interest). Articles in foreign languages will have a summary in Romanian.
When drafting the articles, the current official spelling is to be used and the rules of the last edition of DOOM will apply. The process of reviewing the manuscripts begins with the presentation of the author’s manuscript and is performed in three stages.
First stage: At the level of the editorial board, the initial evaluation of all manuscripts submitted for editing is carried out in order to verify: originality; conceptual, methodological correctness etc.; language errors and typing errors, etc.
Second stage: If the editorial board, following the first stage, accepted the manuscript, then it is subjected to the anonymous double review. The anonymous double review evaluates the actuality, the novelty of the investigated problem, the originality of the results obtained, the significance of these results, the correctness of the processing results, the presentation, analysis and interpretation of the data, the compliance with the volume of the illustrative material (figures, tables, etc.), the quality of the summaries, etc.
Third stage: is the presentation of the positive assessment of the material and the recommendation by the reviewers of the article for further processing. If there are suggestions and recommendations, after reviewing the article, it is presented again to the editorial college. The editorial board takes the final decision concerning the publication of the article.
To view the contents of the issued articles, please see the Archives, and for the current publication, see the heading Current Issue. To access the summaries (in Romanian or in an international language), please click on the title of the article in the table of contents (see Archives).
