Peer Review Process

Each submitted paper will be evaluated by at least one external reviewer and, in the event of an inconclusive opinion, it will be evaluated by a second external reviewer. In the event of disagreement between both opinions, a third opinion will be sought.

Articles will be evaluated without identifying the author, using a blind-review system.

The author must have a doctorate degree or be a doctoral student, preferably in the area of ​​Philosophy, but not exclusively.

The standard time for evaluation by reviewers is at least 120 days and is directly related to the availability of reviewers. However, this period might be extended due to the circumstances of each submitted paper and the topic addressed.

The publication of work by researchers from UFPE will be restricted to a maximum of 20% of the articles in an issue of the journal; and these same researchers may only publish a new article in the journal 24 months after their last published work.

This restriction does not apply to reviews and translations.

In the case of the publication of works by researchers from outside UFPE, the same author may only have a new work published in the journal after 12 months have passed since the issue of their last publication.

This restriction does not apply to reviews and translations.

Periodicity

The publication is biannual, primarily electronic, but with printed issues for libraries and for Exchange journals.

Policy on the Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence

The Revista Perspectiva Filosófica reaffirms its commitment to academic integrity and transparency in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools throughout all stages of the editorial process. 

The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) — such as those provided by OpenAI, Alphabet (Google), or other institutions — must be clearly declared and documented in a specific section of the manuscript when its use goes beyond the mere revision of writing, grammar, and spelling. 

For the purposes of this policy, AI-assisted text revision is understood as the use of AI tools to improve texts produced entirely by humans, with the aim of improving readability, clarity, linguistic accuracy, style, punctuation, spelling, and minor aspects of rewriting or formatting. Thus, this type of use does not require a declaration, provided that it does not result in the generation of new substantive content, arguments, data, analyses, or conceptual elements that constitute an original intellectual contribution.

It is expressly forbidden to list any AI tool, LLM, or automated system as an author or co-author of manuscripts submitted to the journal, as such tools do not meet the criteria for scientific authorship.
