Publication History

Studia UBB Negotia journal is published since 1996, by the Faculty of Business, as part of the collection Studia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai.

Between 1996 and 1999 a joint volume including the journal’s two issues was published each year.

From 2000 until 2008 the publication frequency was of two volumes per year.

Starting with issue 2 of 2004, Studia UBB Negotia Editorial Board decided to publish only academic papers written in English or French.

Since 2009, Studia UBB Negotia publishes four issues per year, written in English.

Starting with issue 1 of 2010 Studia UBB Negotia became an open-access journal.

The journal’s role within the scientific community is to bring into attention original and interesting studies in the areas of business, business economics and development, and in the related areas.

A rigorous selection process is ensured at two levels. The papers which do not fulfill the journal standards are desk rejected by the executive editors. The papers which pass the preliminary screening undergo a double blind peer review process. This process involves the members of the editorial board and external reviewers.

Currently the rejection rate is of 40%.

For further development the journal objectives are:

• To index the journal in prestigious international databases
• To ensure a good balance between foreign and Romanian authors
• To increase the visibility of the electronic version of the journal
• To distribute the publication abroad based on subscriptions and orders
• To improve the quality of graphics of the printed publications
