FOCUS AND SCOPE

Mission

Published by FASBAM - Faculdade São Basílio Magno, through your publisher FASBAMPRESS, Basilíade - Journal of Philosophy aims at divulging the philosophical reflections which must not only show results based on original research on the level of post-graduation program, but also contribute to enrich the national philosophical culture.

Articles’ Scope

Basilíade - Journal of Philosophy publishes articles and reviews covering these areas: 1. Theoretical-systematic Philosophy (metaphysics, philosophical anthropology, ethics, among others). 2. History of Philosophy (ancient and medieval philosophy). The articles can be submitted, in addition to the Portuguese language, in English, French, Italian and Spanish, and other texts must be submitted in Portuguese only.

Double Blind Peer Review

Many factors are taken into account when evaluating of the manuscripts. These include the following: 1) analysis of the adequacy criteria and standards for publication in the Basilíade - Journal of Philosophy, carried out by the deputy editor. Papers that are not accepted are those that do not present: a) the author and/or co-author with a doctor degree required by a QUALIS A1 journal (except for book reviews which can be written by doctoral students and doctors); b) the standard format of a scientific paper: abstract, key words, introduction, conclusion, references. 2) Preliminary evaluation by the Editorial Board. In this phase, the article is subjected to a plagiarism check application that protects the International Laws of authors’ rights and their registration mark, assessment of the relevance, methodological and scientific quality of the text. 3) The papers that successfully pass the preliminary evaluation are then subject to the process of double blind review. The articles are sent, without identifying the author, to two ad hoc reviewers selected among the top scholars in the field from different states or from abroad. The LATTES platform was used to select the referees and subject areas. The reviewer’s opinion will take into consideration the theoretical-critical and methodological dimensions of the text, as well as the contribution of the production, innovation and diffusion of knowledge. The evaluation should be concluded in 30 days. Conflicts between evaluative positions will be resolved by other reviewers and / or members of the Editorial Board. The final decision on any conflict and on the publication of the manuscript is reserved for the Editorial Commission (Director, Editor, Deputy Editor) that will take into account the entire evaluation process and the code of conduct for editorial standards. 4) The conclusion of the evaluation process: the article, once accepted for publication and approved by the author, is then prepared for printing.

After such corrections, the manuscript will be resent to author for the final verification. The entire process between the submission of the article and the final approval could prolong up to four full months.

If any author gives up the evaluation process after the acceptance of her/his article with or without obligatory corrections and then after some months s/he resumes the process, in this case, the text/article will proceed to a new evaluation.

In cases of plagiarism

According to COPE guidelines, when there is proof of major duplicate or redundant publication by the Editor and/or reviewer who rated the evaluated the article, the author is asked to provide clarification. If it is proved by intended and/or unintended mistake, due to the lack of clarity of Instructions to Author or inexperience of the author, the article will be rejected with due explanation of the periodical posture and expected behavior in the future. If there is no response from the author, the Editor will contact the institution where he/she works, informing his/her superiors and/or the responsible person of the decision of the editorial team. Reviewers are also notified of the decision. In case of less significant similarity, the author will be prompted to reference the original works or eliminate the similarity. The evaluation will be thus continued.
