Ethical standards and good practices
Revista de Filosofía is an academic journal of philosophy addressed to philosophical scholars and students. It publishes original research articles by Chilean and foreign authors. The journal is interested in all areas of philosophy and opened to every philosophical current without discriminating against any of them. Occasionally, it dedicates an issue to a distinguished philosopher or to a memorable philosophical book. Every issue includes a section of book reviews and critical studies about recent philosophical works in Spanish or other languages. In every issue, there is a critical review section covering recent philosophy books, published either in Spanish or in any other language. In order to accomplish this task, the highest ethics and quality criteria are applied to the evaluation, selection, publication, and dissemination process of the works received.
