About the Journal

Symbolon is an academic journal published by the UArtPress Publishing House of the University of Arts Târgu Mureș, both in print (ISSN 1582-327X) and online (ISSN 2344-4460) since 2000. All articles published since 2021 are assigned a DOI under the journal’s prefix 10.46522/S. The journal publishes the same number of articles in print and electronic format, with no differences in content between the two formats. We do not practice the form of online-first publishing. Each issue was published separately.

Symbolon publishes articles in English, Romanian, French, and Hungarian, with all submissions subject to a double-blind peer review process. The journal upholds the highest standards of editorial ethics, academic transparency, and international scholarly communication.

The first three issues were published annually, and since 2003, the magazine has been published biannually. Since 2014, one of the issues has contained studies in the media field, the other being on the performing arts. Since 2017, we have been publishing special issues on art education and music.

The journal is preserved in the PKP Preservation Network. The authors are allowed to deposit the submitted, accepted and published versions of their paper on any archival site, including the journal’s website.
