Preprints Policy

The Revista de Derecho de la Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción acknowledges the importance of preprints as a legitimate form of scholarly communication that promotes the early dissemination of knowledge and academic dialogue. However, in line with its double-blind peer review policy and the editorial tradition of the legal discipline, in which the prior dissemination of manuscripts through preprints is not a common or recognized practice, the journal only accepts original works that have not been previously shared as preprints. This decision aims to ensure the impartiality of the review process, avoid any interference with anonymous evaluation, and guarantee that the first formal academic publication of the text takes place in the journal.
