Recommendations for authors:
Transilvania journal is published by the ASTRA National Museum Complex under the authority of the Sibiu County Council.
It is an inter/transdisciplinary scientific journal, indexed in the SCOPUS and EBSCO databases for fields related to Humanities.
The materials will be sent to the editorial office in electronic format, preferably in .doc or .docx format, accompanied by their version converted to portable format (pdf); it is preferable that the text does not contain other codes such as bookmarks, terms marked for indexes (names, localities, etc.), hyperlinks, automatic paragraph numbering, manual word separation, etc; font-level formatting is allowed; if tables, diagrams, and other graphics are used, it is preferable that they are sent in a separate file (in .xls, .tiff, .jpeg, .pdf format); If for reasons of economy of space adjustments are necessary (in the sense of adding or deleting graphic elements), the Editorial Board reserves the right to intervene on the material in this regard. Even if the Editorial Board ensures the correction of the materials in terms of grammatical and stylistic correctness, we recommend the authors to check these aspects before sending them (for more info on publication policy please see section Ethics & Peer Review).
The presence of the following elements is mandatory on the first page of the materials:

– The name of the author(s) and the institutional affiliation (in the language in which the article is written and in English) accompanied by the address of the institution; it will be clearly specified whether the author is part of different institutional collectives; the full address of the institutions to which the author belongs must also be specified (address, telephone number, e-mail address).
