RRHA accepts contributions in French, English, German, Spanish and Italian. Punctuation systems, capitalization, etc. should follow conventions commonly used in the language of submission. For submissions in English, both American and British spelling are accepted so long as spelling is consistent throughout the text.

A short profile of the author – maximum 50 words – is required for all articles. This should include title, current position, institutional affiliation and areas of expertise. Please provide your profile in French and in English; type it on the 'cover' page of the manuscript, along with your contact information (postal address, telephone number and e-mail address). 

 

Main text

A typical article should not generally exceed 12,000 words, while papers to be included in the Notes section should be no longer than 7,000 words.

Prepare your text as a MS Word file (.doc) or as a Rich Text Format file (.rtf). Manuscripts must be formatted for A4 size paper, single-spaced. Please indent the first line of each paragraph using Word format options (Format à Paragraph à Special à First line à By 1.27 cm). Do not indent paragraphs by pressing TAB or by typing multiple spaces.

• an abstract of maximum 250 words for articles published in the main section of the journal, and of maximum 100 words for articles in the Notes section;
• 6-10 keywords; avoid repeating words in the title. 

If you feel that your article should be divided into sections, please use a single level of section headings. Do not number headings; put them in bold face type, centered (minimal capitalization). 

Prescribed font is Times New Roman; size should be 12 pt for main text and 10 pt for abstract, keywords, endnotes and captions.

Notes

Bibliographical references and explanatory notes should be inserted as endnotes, numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Endnotes must be produced by means of Word processor’s automatic endnote function (Insert à Reference à Endnote).

When citing a source for the first time, give the complete bibliographical reference: author’s name, title of work in italics, volume number for a multi-volume book, publisher (only for old editions and for books published by the Publishing House of the Romanian Academy), place of publication, year of publication, page number – all separated by commas. For subsequent citations of a source, use Latin abbreviations (ibid., id., ead., loc. cit., op. cit.) whenever appropriate.

Two or more writings by the same author must be distinguished by using the first words of the title, followed by three dots (as exemplified in notes 3, 6 and 8 below).

Complete names of each author/editor are to be cited; do not replace author/editor’s first name with an initial, unless it appears as such in the title of the cited work.

End citation with a full stop.
