About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Pensamiento y Cultura is intended to serve as a specialized journal dedicated to circulating information on the progress and results of research on philosophy.  It accepts original articles on topics relative to the history of philosophy and on issues concerning ongoing debates in the different fields of philosophical research.  The Editorial Board of Pensamiento y Cultura accepts articles in English, Spanish, French or Portuguese, all of which are subject to a double-blind peer review.

Pensamiento y Cultura seeks to be a permanent forum for philosophic dialogue by encouraging the introduction, argumentation and discussion of essential or contemporary issues that are important to the discipline. It is directed to researchers, professors and students of philosophy and related areas of study.

Peer Review Process

All articles are reviewed by the Editorial Board to verify full compliance with the criteria requested in these instructions. Should any of the respective requirements not be met, the author(s) will be informed accordingly.

After being reviewed by the Editorial Board, the articles are sent to expert peers who evaluate their scientific and academic quality.  The identity of the authors is not disclosed to the reviewers, nor do the authors know who is reviewing their work. Once the designated external and internal academic peers have given their opinion, a decision is made to publish the material with modifications, to accept the material definitively, as is, or to reject it.

The Journal will notify the author(s) within a prudent period that shall not exceed 60 days. After being accepted and once all adjustments or modifications have been made, if such be the case, the articles are submitted for copy editing. This process respects each author's particular style and, in no case, does copy editing imply any changes whatsoever in the contents of an article.
