Citation system

It is desirable that each contribution has a unitary critical system, according to the accepted scientific norms. For this purpose we propose the following citation system, derived from the Oxford system:

  • The notes will be introduced in the page footer, numbered from 1 to for the entire paper and will have the following format:
    • Gudea 1996, 149.
    • Florescu, Florescu, Diaconu 1958, 174, Pl. VI/4-6; Topoleanu 2000, 123. Bâltâc et al. 2016 (for more than three authors)
  • A note with several references will display them 1) thematically and/or 2) chronologically.

Book citations

  • The lists of references (bibliography) at the end of the article will be paginated in a table with two columns, according to the models below:
Topoleanu 2000Topoleanu, F., Ceramica romană şi romano-bizantină de la Halmyris (sec. I-VII p. Chr.), Editura CIMEC: Tulcea, 2000
Florescu, Florescu, Diaconu 1958 Florescu, Gr., Florescu, R., Diaconu, P., Capidava. Monografie arheologică, Vol. I, Editura Academiei RPR: București, 1958

Illustration

The illustration will be displayed in the form of plates, A4 format, arranged at the end of the article, as well as figures placed in the text, according to the authors’ preference.

The plates will be numbered from Plate I to Plate XXX (both in the illustration list and in the text). Inside the plates the illustrations (pictures, drawings, etc.) will be numbered from 1 to n, with TNR 10 normal font. Inside the text, the reference will be made with normal characters between brackets as follows: (Pl. VI or Fig. 6) or for plates with multiple illustrations (Pl. VI/3 or Fig. 6/3). For illustrations that require a key (for example maps, archeological profiles etc.), this will be preferably done on a separate file (but will also be received in a single file, illustration + key).

The illustrations designed to be placed inside of the text will be called “Figures” (in the language of the article, of course) and will be numbered from 1 to n. They will be sent as separate files, accompanied by a list of the figures containing the labeling of each of them. The preferred position of each figure will be explicitly mentioned in the text, in a separate paragraph, or through the distinct shading of the text (eg.: Figure 6).

The maximum width of the illustration is 17 cm. The maximum allowed height is 25 cm.

Illustrations are accepted only in .tif format at a resolution of at least 300 dpi. The journal also accepts color illustrations.

For any artifact illustration it is recommended to indicate the following: the museum and the collection; the inventory number; the author of the photograph or the publication.

When the author uses as illustrative material photographs, drawings, plans, sketches, etc. having a non-signatory author of the article, it is necessary to specify (in the List of illustrations) whether the legal right regarding the reproduction of the respective illustrations has been obtained in advance for the purpose of publication. Any issue regarding the reproduction rights and copyrights for the illustrative material used constitutes the sole responsibility of the corresponding author (who may or may not be the first author).
