About the Journal
Presentation
Twice a year, Argumentos publishes first-rate articles, discussion notes, reviews, and/or a special issue, on all aspects of philosophy, written in Portuguese, English, Spanish, Germany or French. Its main goal is to present and expand philosophy, broadly construed. Argumentos strives to offer articles with solid and well-written argumentation on the philosophical issues at hand. In 2011, the journal entered a new stage and became the official scientific journal of the graduate programme of philosophy at the Federal University of Ceará, Brazil. Its aim is to be a high-standard philosophy publication with impact both in Brazil and overseas. With that objective in mind, Argumentos has four main co-editors, who take care of two broad areas: (1) theoretical philosophy (mostly, but not exclusively, analytic in nature) and (2) practical philosophy (mostly, but not exclusively, continental). In order to guarantee high quality in its publications, Argumentos has a scientific committee comprising both non-Brazilian and Brazilian philosophers.
In the most recent CAPES quadrennial evaluation, covering the period 2017-2020, Argumentos received the A2 classification, directing the efforts of the Scientific-Editorial Committee towards consolidating the internationalization of the journal.
Focus and reach
Argumentos is a Philosophy Journal of the Postgraduate Program in Philosophy at the Federal University of Ceará. It aims to disseminate and interchange, primarily, the work of researchers in Philosophy in Brazil and abroad in the following lines of research: Ethics and Political Philosophy and Philosophy of Knowledge and Language. These lines are compatible with the research policy of the Postgraduate Program in Philosophy at UFC.
Peer Review Process
Each submitted article will be evaluated by at least one reviewer and, in case of non-conclusive opinion, it will be evaluated by a second reviewer; in case of disagreement in the opinions of both, a third opinion will be sent to issue a new opinion. The articles will be evaluated without identifying the author, in the blind-review system.
The author (s) must have a doctoral degree, preferably in philosophy, but not exclusively.
The standard time for completing an evaluation is at least 120 (one hundred and twenty) days and is related to the availability of the evaluators. However, this period can be extended due to the circumstances of each work submitted and the theme addressed.
The publication of work by researchers from the UFC will be restricted to a maximum of 20% of the articles in each issue of the magazine; and these same researchers will only be able to publish a new article in Argumentos 24 (twenty four) months after the last work published in the journal. This restriction does not apply to reviews and bibliographic notes.
In the case of publication of works by researchers outside the UFC, the same author will only have a new work published in the journal after 1 (one) year in relation to the number of his last publication. This restriction does not apply to reviews and bibliographic notes.
