In 1879 the name of the Societatea Academica Română was changed to the Academia Română, which was replaced, in 1948, by the Academia Republicii Populare Romîne. In 1965 its name was changed to Academia Republicii Socialiste România. In 1970 part of the activities of the academy were transferred to the newly established Academia de Științe Sociale și Politice a Republicii Socialiste România. Works by these bodies are found under the name used at the time of publication.
