undated; multi-annual publication


Explanation:
In academic English, the standard term for this is:
undated
or:
multi-annual publication

The former of these is much more common than the latter for publication summaries such as you have here. The latter is more used in free-flowing text (“in the/a multi-annual publication…”)

fără an


Explanation:
- În unele cazuri, editura nu menţionează în lucrare anul de apariţie. Atunci, în locul anului, se introduce f. a. (= fără an).

- fără anul apariţiei

If no publication date is given in the book but it can be ascertained, put the year in square brackets e.g.
[1989]. If no year can be determined write [n.d.], meaning no date.
