Preprints Policy

The Revista de Filosofía UCSC acknowledges the importance of preprints as a legitimate form of scientific communication that promotes the early dissemination of knowledge and academic dialogue. However, in coherence with its double-blind peer review policy and the philosophical nature of its editorial line, the journal only accepts original manuscripts that have not been previously shared as preprints. This policy aims to ensure the impartiality of the review process, prevent interference with anonymous evaluation, and guarantee that the first formal academic publication of the text takes place in the journal.

Once the editorial process is completed, authors may deposit the accepted article or its final version (postprint) in institutional or thematic repositories, provided that the full reference to the original publication in the Revista de Filosofía UCSC and, when applicable, the DOI link are clearly indicated. In this way, the journal seeks to balance the open dissemination of knowledge with a rigorous commitment to ethical standards in academic publishing.

 

Digital Preservation

The Revista de Filosofía UCSC implements several procedures to ensure permanent accessibility to published files. These include:

- Permanent backup copies of its server and files.
- Continuous updating of the software used.
- Metadata protocols.
- Use of DOI identifiers.
- The use of readable and downloadable file formats, ensuring easy reproducibility.

The journal is part of the Public Knowledge Project's Private LOCKSS Network (PKP-PLN), a fully decentralized system distributed among collaborating libraries, designed to create permanent archives of the journal’s content and to preserve or restore original files when necessary.

Data Deposit Policy

The Revista de Filosofía UCSC promotes transparency and traceability in philosophical research materials, broadly understood as textual corpora, documentary sources, unpublished translations, or analytical resources developed by the authors. In cases where an article is based on such materials, authors are encouraged to ensure their preservation and accessibility through institutional or thematic repositories that guarantee long-term archiving and public availability.

The deposit of these materials should be made in repositories that meet recognized standards of digital preservation and assign persistent identifiers (such as DOI or equivalent). Authors retain the intellectual property rights of the deposited materials and must clearly indicate in the article the reference and permanent link to the resource. Through this policy, the journal seeks to promote the responsible openness of knowledge while respecting the methodological and hermeneutical specificities of the philosophical discipline.
