Scope

Aims, scope and focus

The Revista Sofia (ISSN 2317-2339, classified as A2 in Qualis 2021-2024), affiliated with the Graduate Program in Philosophy at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES), publishes original articles, translations, and reviews in the field of Philosophy, authored by professors and researchers who are doctoral candidates or hold a master's or doctoral degree, and which are not under evaluation for publication in another journal. In this sense, the Revista Sofia has the mission of contributing to the qualification of debate within the national and international philosophical community. The journal is published semiannually, with issues scheduled for July and December. Its content includes thematic dossiers, articles submitted in continuous flow, translations, and reviews. Original works will be accepted in Portuguese, English, French, Spanish, Italian, or German. The Revista Sofia is funded by FAPES (Espírito Santo Research and Innovation Support Foundation), through FAPES NOTICE No. 19/2023 SUPPORT FOR JOURNAL EDITING AND PUBLICATION, valid until July 31, 2025. Peer Review Process The Revista Sofia follows the double-blind review system, i.e., evaluation by two anonymous reviewers to analyze each proposed article, review, or translation. In the case of contradictory reviews, the submission will be sent to a third anonymous reviewer. Prior to this, the originals are sent to the Journal's Editorial Board, which may reject the submission if it does not meet the Focus and Scope of the publication. Reviews are issued by specialists with a doctorate degree in the area of the submitted work and who are part of the reviewer body; if the specialist in the topic in question is not in our reviewer system, the journal will request an ad hoc review. Review recommendations are "acceptance," "rejection," or "acceptance with revisions," justified through objective and qualitative criteria present in our evaluation form. It is the responsibility of the Editorial Board to accept or not the reviewers' recommendations and to forward any requests for reformulation to the authors. In the case of proposal rejection, the editors will issue a justification and, in the case of acceptance conditioned on revisions, the author will receive the recommendations and a deadline to meet the Editorial Board's requests. The Managing Editor will respond to authors' questions about the submission process at any of its stages. Final acceptance of articles depends on the following criteria:
