Statement of Ethics and Good Editorial Practices

Cuadernos de Filosofía

Cuadernos de Filosofía is committed to the principles of academic integrity, editorial transparency, and scientific responsibility. The journal adheres to international standards of good editorial practice and promotes a culture of intellectual honesty throughout all stages of the publication process.

1. Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo a double-blind peer review process.

Under this system:

  • Reviewers do not know the identity of the authors.

  • Authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.

Each manuscript is evaluated by specialists in the relevant field, who provide a reasoned, objective, and respectful report.

Review outcomes may recommend:

  • Acceptance without modifications

  • Acceptance with minor revisions

  • Major revisions

  • Rejection

The final decision rests with the editorial team, taking into account the reviewers’ reports and the journal’s academic standards.

2. Originality and Plagiarism Prevention

The journal requires that submitted works be original and unpublished, and that they are not under simultaneous consideration elsewhere.

Plagiarism includes:

  • The total or partial reproduction of texts without proper citation.

  • The appropriation of ideas or arguments without explicit reference.

  • Self-plagiarism, understood as the substantial reuse of previously published work without clear acknowledgment.

All submissions are screened using specialized plagiarism detection software (Compilatio) in order to verify textual originality prior to the peer review process.

If ethical violations are detected, the manuscript will be rejected and the editorial team may take additional measures depending on the severity of the case.

3. Conflicts of Interest

Authors must disclose any academic, financial, or institutional conflicts of interest that could influence the research or arguments presented.

Reviewers and members of the editorial team must recuse themselves from the evaluation or editorial decision if any conflict of interest exists that could compromise impartiality.

4. Responsibilities of Authors

Authors are responsible for:

  • The accuracy and truthfulness of the content presented.

  • Proper citation of all sources.

  • Obtaining permissions when required.

  • Including all individuals who have made significant intellectual contributions to the work.

Authorship must reflect genuine and verifiable intellectual contributions.

5. Responsibilities of Reviewers

Reviewers are expected to:

  • Provide objective, reasoned, and respectful reports.

  • Maintain the confidentiality of the manuscript.

  • Refrain from using information contained in the manuscript for personal or academic purposes prior to publication.

  • Inform the editorial team of any ethical concerns identified in the manuscript.

6. Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence

If generative artificial intelligence tools are used in the drafting, translation, or editing of a manuscript, authors must explicitly disclose this use.

The authors bear full responsibility for the content, arguments, and originality of the work. Artificial intelligence tools cannot be credited as authors.

7. Corrections, Retractions, and Clarifications

If significant errors are identified after publication, the journal may:

  • Publish corrections or clarifications.

  • Issue expressions of concern.

  • Retract the article when necessary.

Such decisions will be made by the editorial team in accordance with international standards of publication ethics.

8. Open Access and Copyright
