Submissions

Author Guidelines

1. Papers, reviews, translations and interviews will be presented to Voluntas: International Journal of Philosophy through the eletronic system of UFSM's Portal of Journals. Works will be evaluated under a double-blind peer review system by two external reviewers that shall make their decisions (favorable or not) with regards to the relevancy of the proposed material to the journal's profile and/or desidered Dossier, as well as with regards to the quality of the material. Contributions sent to the section Schopenhauerian Studies, of continuos flow, will be reviewed by researchers of renowned knowledge in schopenhauerian philosophy. The reviewers receive texts without identification of authorship. In cases where a work receives contradictory reviews, another evaluation by a third reviewer is requested. 

2. Authorship's identification must be removed from the file and the option "Properties" in Word, thus ensuring the journal's criterium of secrecy. Author's data must be in the system's field dedicated for this kind of information. 

3. Each author can only have one published article per edition and should not be able to publish in consecutive editions (of the same volume or not). That is, after publishing at Voluntas, the author must wait a year for submitting a new text. This rule does not apply, however, for translations and reviews. 

4. Theses, ideas, opinions, and concepts presented in the manuscripts are the sole responsibility of the authors.

5.2 They may publish the same text in other vehicles (such as book chapter, for example), with reference to the first publication in Voluntas: International Journal of Philosophy;

5.3 Papers may be printed as long as the source (edition data) of this journal is informed and authors are duly credited.

6. Papers sent for evaluation that do not comply with the norms and guidelines of submissions will be returned to the authors.
