EDITING GUIDELINES
Aims & Scope
Acta Musei Napocensis is an annual scientific journal, printed at the end of the year (December). Its purpose is to publish studies and articles in international languages, in the field of ancient history and archeology. All specialists conducting research in this field are invited to submit for evaluation and publication the results of their research, taking into account the evaluation rules of the journal, as well as the international rules on ethics in research and publication.
Manuscripts will be written in English, French, German or Italian. Reviews of papers (books, journals, acts of congresses and international conferences etc.) are also welcome.
The papers must reach us as a Word document, not later than the 1st of June 2024.
All parts of the manuscript – abstract, text, legend of figures – will be written with Times or Times New Roman, 12, at 1 line space. Before publication, all manuscripts will be reviewed by the editors, who have the task of unifying all texts for publication. Where appropriate, authors will be asked to do a review of the texts, if there will be corrections and additions in the manuscript.
Peer review. The articles will be selected by a college of reviewers who, in agreement with the editorial board, will agree on the publication or non-publication of those articles, in case that they do not meet the scientific standards of the periodical.
Abstract. Each article will be accompanied by an abstract, not exceeding 10-15 lines (about 250 words), in English, in the language of the article and in Romanian, in which are outlined the problems discussed, methodology, and conclusions.
Keywords. We kindly ask you to indicate up to 5 keywords (in English, in the language of the article and in Romanian), which will allow us to organize the articles according to the problems raised.
Name and address. Authors are kindly asked to add at the end of their work the scientific title, their full name and institutional/personal address and their e-mail address. All this information will be published with your scientifically contribution.
References. Each article must have a unitary reference system (Oxford) according to accepted academic rules.
