Foundation:

As a research journal, the beginnings can be traced back to the academic year of 1966-1967, when, under the name of Lucrari stiintifice, the section of academic research emerged at the University of Oradea. In 1991 the research journal changed its name and template, focusing on topics of immediate relevance and on thorough going studies, on cultural studies, analytic articles on Romanian literature and comparative literature. In 2006 emerged Confluente, a Modern Literature Fascicle, including academic literary studies in English, French, German and Italian. In 2012 the Romanian Ministry of Education and Research ranked our journal category C.
