Since the year of 2014, the Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia introduced a Pre-evaluation system for all articles that are submitted for publication. With the steady increase in the number of texts submitted to the Journal (currently between 200-300 items per year), the Editorial Team was forced to enter a Trial stage of selection. During the Pre-evaluation articles are filtered and marked either as Accepted to Review or Rejected.
Articles that receive the mark Accepted to Review leads the text to the next phase which will be the peer review, while the Rejected is immediately rejected and the authors informed (with no formal report). The author whose article has received Accepted to Review classification in the pre-evaluation is not informed of it.
The Revista Portuguesa de Filosofia selects and evaluates the texts received (Accepted to Review in the Pre-evaluation) by peer review, according to the double-blind system of evaluation.
The Editorial Board will decide two referees (or even three) to elaborate a report concerning the text proposed for publication and give reasons for its acceptance (with or without revision) or rejection. They will focus mostly in the following points: originality, timeliness and scholarly relevance, adequacy of methodology, consistency of the general argument, theoretical and/ or empirical grounding, clarity, and correct use of language.
The Editorial Board will read and analyse the referees report, mantaining the right to seek other reports or exclude a report. The Editorial Board decided what report and if the report is to be sent to the authors.
Authors will be notified of evaluation results and the specific recommendations – if any – of the referees. If the text is not conditionally accepted, authors should make the suggested revisions by the deadline indicated.
The Editorial Board will compare and evaluate the final version of the text with the comments made to the article to see if it is fit to publication. If the Editorial Board analysis concludes that the final version of the text does not meet the quality required for publication it will reject the article.
There is no possibility of appeal on the final result of the Editorial Board decision.
