Quaestio facti es una revista sobre razonamiento probatorio, publicada en formato electrónico y en open access, editada por la Cátedra de Cultura Jurídica de la Universitat de Girona y distribuida por la editorial Marcial Pons. La revista pretende dar cabida y difusión al análisis de los problemas que plantea el razonamiento probatorio en la aplicación del derecho, lo que incluye el proceso judicial, pero también muchos procesos administrativos. Al igual que el propio razonamiento probatorio, Quaestio facti quiere ser una revista en las fronteras de muchas disciplinas y ámbitos: entre derecho procesal, la epistemología jurídica, el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos, las distintas ciencias de aplicación forense, así como entre los ámbitos culturales de civil y common law. No es una revista de derecho probatorio de uno u otro país, por lo que los trabajos que publicamos deben abordar problemas generales del razonamiento probatorio, que vayan más allá de cuestiones interpretativas o jurisprudenciales de una concreta legislación nacional. Quaestio facti está dirigida a investigadores, académicos, estudiantes y lectores de todo el mundo que comparten interés por la temática de la revista. Quaestio facti publica, con periodicidad bianual, artículos inéditos en español, inglés, italiano y portugués seleccionados mediante un proceso de revisión ciega por pares. La revista se estructura en cuatro secciones: La sección Ensayos recoge artículos generales, inéditos y originales. La sección Conjeturas y refutaciones, dedicada a la discusión de un artículo con 4-5 réplicas cortas. La Conjetura es una contribución por invitación por parte del equipo editorial, mientras que la autoría de las Refutaciones son propuestas por el autor/a del artículo principal. La sección Iuris prudentia, en la que se presenta algún comentario de sentencia con relevancia sobre el derecho y/o el razonamiento probatorios. La sección Ciencia para el proceso, en la que se presentan novedades o análisis provenientes de la ciencia relevantes en su utilización en el proceso. El primer número, publicado en enero de cada año, contiene cinco o seis ensayos y la conjetura de la segunda sección. Además, se incluyen las secciones Iuris prudentia y Ciencia para el proceso. En el segundo número, publicado en junio, se incluye cinco o seis ensayos de la sección general y las cuatro o cinco refutaciones a la conjetura del primer número.
