About the Journal
The publication Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai Physica comes out in 1958 as an extension of the Bulletin of V. Babes and Bolyai Universities, Natural Sciences series. In 1958 the Physica series comes out under the editorship of Acad. C. Daicoviciu, and the articles are published in the Romanian and Hungarian languages.
Since 1962 the Physica series becomes Mathematica-Physica until 1969. In 1970 it changes back to Physica series, under the editorship of Professor St. Pascu. In the same year there appear the first foreign authors who publish in English. Since the 80's the articles are mainly published in international languages (English, French).
Starting with the 90's the articles sent for publication in Physica series go through the report procedure.
