Submission and correspondance
Articles should be submitted electronically to following adress: remus.cretan@e-uvt.ro.
Instruction for authors
1. Full articles published in Review of Historical Geography and Toponomastics should not exceed 12,000 words (approximately 22 pages in print). Research notes and comments should not contain more than 3,500 words, and book reviews should not be more than approximately 900 words. For manuscripts that that are longer, shortening before submission increases the chances of acceptance.
2. The form and content of the manuscript should be carefully checked to exclude the need for corrections at the proof stage. Manuscripts must be typed on one side of the paper only, with wide margins, and double line spacing. References, tables and figure legends should be typed on separate sheets.
3. The first manuscript page should provide the title, names of all authors, affiliations, any footnotes to the title, address to which proofs are to be sent, a short running title, and the fax number and/or e-mail address of the corresponding author in order to accelerate communication.
4. Each paper is to be preceded by a short abstract, which should not exceed 150 words. Up to five key words should also be furnished as well as The Journal of Economic Literature index number(s).
5. Footnotes to the text should be avoided as much as is reasonably feasible.
6. The list of references should be in alphabetical order and include the names and initials of all authors (see examples below). Whenever possible, please update all references to papers accepted for publication, preprints or technical reports, giving the exact name of the journal, as well as the volume, first and last page numbers and year, if the article has already been published or accepted for publication. When styling the references, the following examples should be observed.
7. Figures are to be numbered consecutively. Preferably, the figures should be professional quality computer graphics, as output by standard office software or plotting packages. If possible encapsulated Postscript graphics should be imported into the manuscript in the places where they are intended to appear. On acceptance, authors will be requested to supply these Postscript files separately. Figures should be captioned informatively, so that they can be understood without referring to the text.
8. Tables are to be numbered separately from the illustrations. Each table should have a short informative title.
9. Formulas should be numbered consecutively on the right-hand side of the page. Matrix and vector symbols should be denoted in boldface type, whereas scalars, elements of arrays, and other variables should be in italics. Abbreviations for mathematical operators (such as in, e, prob, and Max) should be typeset in roman. Ratios and fractions in the main text should be presented using a slash
10. A PDF file of the page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author by e-mail. The provisional page numbers given in the proofs may be referred to during the correction procedure. However, the final page numbers are inserted by the publisher when an issue is ready to go to press
11. A PDF offprint is supplied for each author for his own personel use. Orders for additional offprints at the contributor’s own expense can be placed by returning the order form with the corrected proofs.
Before sending the paper for consideration to be published in RHGT, please be advised to use the RHGT template (download it from here).
Peer-Review
RHGT uses double-blind peer review. This means the identities of reviewers and authors are not known to each other. Papers will be sent to two reviewers, who will be asked to evaluate the extent to which papers make a substantial contribution to advancing theoretical and methodological understanding of historical geography and toponymy. Editor-in-chief or the handling editor checks reviewers not to work in the same institution with the authors. Papers are currently taking approximately 4 months from submission to first decision. Since 2015 the language of the papers is exclusively English.
Publication ethics and malpractice
RHGT’s editors shall take reasonable steps to identify and prevent the publication of papers where research misconduct has occurred. RHGT and/or its editors does not encourage such misconduct, or knowingly allow such misconduct to take place. In the event that RHGT’s publisher or editors are made aware of any allegation of research misconduct the publisher or editors shall deal with allegations appropriately. The journal should retract or correct articles when needed. RHGT’s publisher and editors should always be willing to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when needed.
For more details on journal’s ethics, please read RHGT’s Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.

Two papers analyse the specific roles played by toponyms in geographical processes. Five papers analyse the spatial adjustment processes of the population and economy in time, and the relationship between these adjustment processes and growth. The themes dealt with by the seven papers complement each other and produce a state-of-the-art analysis and overview of our current understanding of the various mechanisms by which history, toponymy and geography reveal economic growth.
