AUOC-SP is a peer reviewed academic journal, currently indexed in five international databases: ERIH Plus, CEEOL, Index Copernicus, HEIN Online, DOAJ and EBSCO.

They should have a title, an abstract of 200-250 words, written in English and Romanian and at least five key words. The abstract should reflect the structure of the article (research background, investigation methods, results and conclusions). The contributions must be sent in Microsoft Word format. Images illustrating the text must be sent as .jpg or .tiff files; the author assumes responsibility for the right to publish the images.
