Editura Universitara

Editura Universitara has made a mark on the book market in Romania through its high academic attitude of its publications dedicated to academic education, science, culture as a whole. One of the principles of our activity was represented, from the very beginning, by the constant orientation towards the teachers, the scientists community who ensure, through their efforts, the increasing visibility of the Romanian research in the country and in the world.

The exceptional results that led to all these concerns are demonstrated, among others, by the fact that our publishing house enjoyed in 2006 the CNCSIS accreditation, reconfirmed in the following years, then maintained in 2012 when the University Publishing House was accredited by the National Council of Scientific Research (CNCS). Subsequently, the National Council for Attestation of University Titles, Diplomas and Certificates (CNATDCU), following the evaluations made on the other scientific fields, included the publishing house among the publishing houses with recognized prestige.

Editura Universitara is present in dozens of university libraries, according to the international online catalog WorldCat (www.worldcat.org) and has concluded partnerships with research institutes in Bucharest and in the country.

The same time, we have the quality of membership of the Romanian Association of Publishers (AER), the most prestigious national profile organization.
