  • If the manuscript is accepted, authors must know the followings:

     Any further published research on the exact topic based on this article requires a citation of ANALELE UNIVERSITĂŢII DIN ORADEA FASCICULA LIMBA ȘI LITERATURA ROMÂNĂ;  The article should not be sent for concurrent submission to another journal. However, if the article is integrated in an ampler, further research (in a book), there is obligatory reference to the article published in ALLRO. Authors must inform the reviews editors from the start if they do not fully comply with this condition (no manuscript sent here should be pending somewhere else)  Copyright transfer regarding the conditions and terms of publication. Approval for publication means automatically copyright transfer to ALLRO, in case of all accepted manuscripts. Obviously, this transfer does not refer in any way to the ownership of the intellectual content of the article. Authors are the only owners of their content. Suppose an author objects to being published online. Authors should know that, by copyright transfer, the decision about the form of publication belongs to ALLRO, not to them.  In case of ALLRO, copyright transfer refers solely to the conditions and terms of publication.

    Peer-review policy ALLRO advocates the open peer-review systems. It means that the sender of the manuscript appears with her/his name when the manuscript is sent by the reviews editor to the peer-reviewers (single-blind).

    We have weighed up the pros and cons of masked author identity in the first stage versus open identity of manuscript sender throughout both stages of publishing. We totally agree with the masked review policy as a necessary tool for the warranty of objective, unbiased evaluations. However, guided by the purpose of our journal above all, we have resorted to the open, unmasked review: single blind. The final decision of the selection or rejection of a manuscript is taken by the majority of 5 votes: 2 peer-reviewers, the editor-in-chief, together with the editorial secretary and the associate editor-in-chief. The two written votes for publication(either a YES or a NO, the YES meaning publication after major correction or publication after minor correction) are already expressed at the time of decision. The three editors carefully analyze the file with the responses of the peer-reviewers. The two peer-reviewers of each manuscript have already expressed their opinions: “pro” or “against” publication (Yes/No on the final question of the peer-review form). The three mentioned executive editors also express an opinion when deciding the table of contents, either “pro” or “against” publication. The majority ( ≥ 3 of the 5 opinions)wins. The author is informed by one of the reviews editors. If the topic of the manuscript is not covered by ALLRO, the reviews editors inform the author directly without sending the manuscript to the peer-reviewers
