When a manuscript is recommended by the referees and accepted by the Editorial Board for publication, the authors are required to compile and send
a signed copy of the Transfer of Copyright Agreement form to the Editorial Office of the Romanian Journal of Physics (RJP), preferably by electronic mail.
For this purpose, please, download the copyright transfer
agreement form (available in DOC and ODF format), compile it using a compatible document editing software (MS Word or Open Office), then print and sign the form. Please, scan the signed agreement and convert it to PDF format before sending it by electronic mail. It is compulsory to send a signed copy of the copyright transfer agreement form to the RJP Editorial Office before your manuscript can enter the final stages of publication. Failure to do so may result in further delays and even refusal from the journal to publish your paper.
Once the above-mentioned legal issues are settled, the latest existing form of the paper will become available (full text) in the
Accepted Manuscripts section of this web site.
For your submitted contribution and especially for papers accepted for publication please, provide a set of at least three key words to describe and better index your paper in scientific databases. Failure to do so will imply that the journal board would select these key words which may not always reflect properly the contents of your paper.
While in press the authors may still
ask for minor modifications/corrections of the content of the manuscript (preferably as soon as spotted) though this practice may introduce
further delays in the process of publishing the paper since the referees must also agree with every modification the authors make.
Changing the title and list of authors is allowed if and only if
the referees and the Editorial Board also agree to it and the authors provide a new, signed transfer of copyright agreement containing the updated data.
Once an accepted manuscript is assigned to appear in a specific issue of RJP, it will be included in the preliminary contents which is published on the web site well before the hard copy
is printed. At this point modifying the manuscript is strongly discouraged as it is almost impossible for the editors to intervene in the publication process. An electronic copy of the
manuscript (may not be latest version!) will continue to be available through the Accepted Manuscripts list until the official electronic version of the paper is posted on the website.
Please, do not link to entries on the temporary list of accepted papers when citing articles being processed for publication! You are welcome to ask the Editorial Office for the correct way of citing such articles. Please, check first if the paper has been assigned to an in-press number and if so, use the citing suggestion published on the number contents page.
In order to facilitate reference lookup and ensure that the papers published by this journal are properly indexed by
various organizations specialized in citation related services, authors are kindly asked to give correct and complete references
when citing published works. In the same spirit, the authors should cite only papers which are published online in their final, official form
(which also contains the page numbers/article number as printed). For scientific papers published in RJP, this site provides citation suggestions on the number contents web page (these changes are slowly propagated to older volumes - 2015 and earlier).
The RJP Editorial Office reserves the right to make last minute changes in the preliminary volume contents (indicated by Contents only) which are posted on this web site. When in doubt about the correct way to reference an article published in this journal, you are welcome to ask the redactional personnel for confirmation of the validity of such data.
