Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

Studia UBB Historia Artium publishes original and innovative research in Art History, Heritage Studies, and other domains pertaining to Visual Culture that has not been previously published elsewhere, either partially or in full, in the original language or in translation.

Articles

Articles based on research presented at conferences, or any revised versions thereof, may be sent to our journal only if they have not been submitted for publication in conference proceedings.

The articles published in Studia UBB Historia Artium may be published afterwards in any other journals and may be included in subsequent books written by the author, in the original language or in translation, on condition that Studia UBB Historia Artium is cited as the original publisher.

Articles should be sent to the journal by the authors themselves. By submitting a manuscript to Studia UBB Historia Artium, the authors acknowledge that it represents the final draft and consent to have it reviewed for publication. The authors shall bear sole responsibility for the content of their articles throughout the reviewing process.

Studia UBB Historia Artium will not accept multiple submissions by the same author for the same issue.

The journal has a double-blind peer review policy. The articles that pass the initial editorial screening and selection enter the double-blind peer review process pursuant to which the authors will receive two evaluation reports for the submitted material. Based on the recommendations of the reviewers, the editors make an informed decision on whether to accept or reject the article. In the case of multiple authors, only the corresponding author will receive these reports. Authors are advised to include their identification data when submitting a manuscript; it is the duty of the editor and/or the editor of a special-themed issue to anonymize the materials while handling the logistics of the peer-review process.

Submissions that include slanderous, discriminatory or illegal material will not be accepted.

Book reviews and interviews

In addition to research studies, Studia UBB Historia Artium publishes book reviews, exhibition reviews as well as interviews and profile features personalities in the broader field of Art History, Heritage studies, and Visual Culture. The journal welcomes both commissioned and unsolicited book reviews targeting its fields of interest. Book and exhibition reviews should be around 1,000-1,500 words and consider solely relevant works published in the previous 5 years or exhibitions opened during the previous and current calendar year.

The size and structure of the interviews or profiles will be discussed with the editor.
