Research areas

Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai Philologia publishes articles, interviews, and book reviews addressing a variety of research areas, such as: literary studies, literary history and theory, comparative literature, cultural studies, gender studies, digital humanities, environmental studies, theoretical linguistics, applied linguistics, pragmatics, translation studies, language teaching, aiming at the highest standards of excellence in research. The journal offers a broad space of dialogue for a large community of researchers who intend to contribute to the academic international developments in their field of interest. Open to both junior researchers (doctoral candidates and master’s students) and experienced scholars, the journal reflects the diversity and the quality of philological studies in Cluj-Napoca.

Manuscript submission

The manuscripts should be sent by email to philologia.studia @ ubbcluj.ro, respecting the deadline for each issue, as specified below. If the calls for themed sections set different deadlines or submission procedures, potential contributors will respect the provisions specified thereby. Submissions that do not comply with the recommendations in the Instructions-for-authors RO / EN will be returned to the author for the necessary adjustments.

Manuscripts for the Miscellanea section can be submitted throughout the year. In case the revised version of a manuscript, following peer review, is not received by the journal in time for publication in the issue for which it was originally submitted, it can be considered for inclusion in a future issue.

All submissions will go through an initial evaluation done by the editors. The editorial board will reject those papers that do not meet the standards of the journal. For the themed sections, this first selection will be made together with the guest editors. The result of this initial evaluation will be communicated to the author within a maximum of 30 days from the submission of the manuscript. The selected articles will enter the double-blind peer review process (for details, see PEER REVIEW). The publication decision shall be made in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.

For the special-themed sections of the journal, the expected review time for articles, from submission until publication, is 3-6 months. For the Miscellanea section, this timeframe may be extended up to 9 months.

The deadlines for submissions are:
- 1 November for Issue 1,
