Instructions for authors

JRLS welcomes contributions from Romanian and foreign authors, as long as they are relevant for the interest area of the journal (Romanian literature, literary criticism, literary theory, etc).

The articles should be written in either English, French, Italian or Romanian and sent in electronic format to the Editorial Manager, Prof. Iulian BOLDEA, PhD (see contact section). They will go through a process of assessment and peer-review as described in a separate section of the website.

All the materials should be submitted in Word 2007/2010 format (doc or docx), using the Times New Roman 12, justified, character set and including a consistent bibliography (with references and sources), as well as a short abstract written in English and 5 key-words.

Abbreviated title: should accompany the full title of the article, consisting in no more than 50 characters (including spaces).

Bibliographic references and specific abbreviations (especially in the field of Linguistics) should be reduced to a minimum in the abstract. In the case of inevitable bibliographic titles, these should be given in full form.

Key-words: 5 key-words should accompany the article, expressing essential terms and syntagms relevant to the content, type of approach and conclusions of the paper. The preciseness of these terms is also important for a further correct indexation of the article.
