Sections

Editorial | Editorial - Dossier

It is a section with introductory text written by the editor-in-chief, the guest editor or the assistant editor in charge. The Editorial is the sole responsibility of the team of editors and expresses the opinion of the journal, not being submitted to peer review.

Articles | Articles - Dossier

The section accepts unpublished texts, that is, texts that have not been formally published in their final version as scientific articles in other periodicals of any area. The journal accepts articles in their final format even if they have had their preliminary versions published for debate in congresses, seminars, colloquia or lectures and | or published in a preliminary version in the Proceedings of these events. The texts in this section also need to incorporate interdisciplinary understandings of the sciences from humanist perspectives in which man himself is also the object of reflection. The dialogue of Philosophy and its subareas with other sciences, such as Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, including papers on socio-historical and anthropological approaches or Art studies, is fundamental to the understanding of the construction of knowledge in a diachronic perspective. The content of the submitted texts is the responsibility of the authors and their publication in the journal depends on approval in the blind peer review.

Articles should:

• List the bibliographic references that support the scientific argument in question;
• Have a title, abstract (up to 250 words), and keywords (from 3 to 5) in three languages: Portuguese, English, and Spanish;
• Have 6,000 to 10,000 words
• Be composed of an introduction, the development, a conclusion, and the list of references;
• Organize the bibliographic references in APA format.
• Be submitted through the platform and follow the graphic standards described in the documents pdf and Modelo_Autor_Estilos.dotx
