Scope and policy
Revista Latinoamericana de Filosofía is an open access and blind peer-review publication that receives contributions in any area of philosophy. Open to all philosophical currents, ideas and trends, the journal aspires to the collaboration of all scholars who wish to present the results of their research to their colleagues and the public. In its more than forty years of life, the RLF has proposed to offer a space for the publication and dissemination of work in philosophy that is carried out not only in Argentina, but also in Latin America and the rest of the world, thus addressing members of the national and international philosophical community. Its main objective is to promote dialogue and exchange of productions in the field of philosophical research, whether they refer to current affairs or to the history of the discipline. The RLF welcomes works of all orientations if they are original, represent advances in the knowledge of the topics addressed and enrich the philosophical debate. The RLF publishes articles, notes, critical studies, and discussions. It also includes a permanent section of reviews and, occasionally, thematic dossiers are designed that do not interrupt the periodicity of the publication. The RLF is published twice a year, in May and November. Since 2019, the RLF is only published online. EVALUATION CRITERIA The blind review of the originals carried out by referees external to the Editorial Committee follows the following evaluation criteria: [1] RELEVANCE AND ORIGINALITY It is evaluated if the thematic area of the article is appropriate to the editorial line of the journal. If it does not fit these editorial guidelines, the article should not be recommended for publication. [2] HANDLING OF THE TOPIC AND REFERENCES The relevance, pertinence and timeliness of the bibliography used, as well as the general knowledge of the state of the art, are rated. The rating is made according to the following criteria: good, fair or poor. If the bibliography is irrelevant or outdated, the referee may mention some of the most important works that should be taken into consideration in the comments to item [2]. [3] CONSISTENCY AND CLARITY
[4] TITLE AND ABSTRACT
[5] REWRITING The referee may suggest or request the rewriting of certain passages or paragraphs if he/she considers it necessary. To do so, the referee will indicate in comments, in a precise manner, what changes, additions or corrections the author should make. [6] TABLES AND IMAGES If the work contains tables, images or figures, the referee will evaluate whether they are clear and necessary. If not, the referee will make the pertinent suggestions in the comments to item [6]. [7] FINAL OPINION (RECOMMENDATION FOR PUBLICATION) The referee gives a final grade of the paper according to the following criteria:
[8] REVIEWER'S COMMENT TO THE EDITORS (OPTIONAL) The referee can send to the editors of the journal the comments on the evaluated paper that he/she considers pertinent.

Plagiarism detection Submissions must be original and free of plagiarism. Before evaluation, the journal checks, using the detection tools at its disposal, that the work received does not incur in plagiarism. If plagiarism is detected, the work will be immediately rejected, and the author will be provided with the evidence collected. The sender may make any allegations he/she deems appropriate; however, the journal reserves the right to reject the submission definitively after review and appropriate response to the allegations made.

Form and preparation of manuscripts
Author Guidelines All collaborations must be submitted through the OJS system, following the instructions the system provides. Since RLF works with an anonymous peers-review system, the identity of the author should not be included in the manuscript, neither in the cover, notes or bibliography. All articles will be evaluated by at least one external reviewer. We accept manuscripts in Spanish, Portuguese or English. All manuscripts must be unpublished. Authors will not be able to introduce modifications in their manuscript once the article has been accepted for publication by the Editorial Committee. A) Structure
B) References RLF uses an author-year-page system. References can be either in the text itself or in footnotes and must follow the following model:
Quotations of three lines or more should be written in a smaller font, and indented in the left margin without quotation marks. In this case bibliographic references should not go in a footnote, but in the text itself. Shorter quotations, whether complete sentences or parts of a sentence, must be inserted in the text, in normal size font with double quotation marks, and must be followed by the corresponding bibliographic reference in parentheses. All quotations must be translated into the language in which the paper is written. In those cases in which philological considerations are relevant, original words or expressions may be included in parentheses and italicized, for example: (ousía), (tópos ouranós), (quod quid erat esse). Words in Greek or other non-Latin alphabets should be transliterated according to the most common conventions. The works mentioned in the text and the footnotes should be listed alphabetically at the end, under a BIBLIOGRAPHY title, and cited according to the following models. Books Edited collections Book chapters Articles Articles in online journals Roman numbers should not be used, neither in references of the Works consulted, nor in the bibliographical list. Authors must use Arabic numbers in all cases, including volumes, unless Roman numbers are essential to avoid misunderstandings. In case of doubts about how to reference works, authors can consult Robert Ritter, The Oxford Guide of Style (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2002), in particular Chapter 15, pages 566-572. |
