Basic information
Qualis/CAPES: A2 History The first issue of Trans/Form/Ação: Revista de Filosofia was published in 1974 by the Philosophy Department of the extinct Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Assis (Faculty of Philosophy, Sciences and Letters of Assis), which in 1976 became part of the Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Few years later the Department moved to the Campus of Marília. Since then, the greatest researchers from São Paulo, as well as other Brazilian and foreign philosophers associated to them published their interviews or articles on Trans/Form/Ação. In the beginning, the journal was associated to the creation of a Postgraduate Program in Philosophy and to an important philosophical event; the Philosophy and Theory of Human Sciences Journey (both from UNESP). Due to its role in fostering the study of academic philosophy by establishing a cosmopolitan pole and the importance of its first collaborators (Gilles Gaston Granger,Gérard Lebrun, Antônio Cândido de Mello e Souza, José Arthur Giannotti, among others) it acquired a remarkable presence in national and international philosophical scenario allowing the interlocution with great foreign intellectuals.
Mission The main goal of Trans Form/Ação: Revista de Filosofia is to publish (both in electronic and printed format) texts of excellence in philosophy or of philosophical relevance and so socializing knowledge by promoting debates and discussions of ideas. The journal is mainly composed of articles, reviews, translations and interviews of professionals of relevant production in philosophy. All forms of publication obey the thematic, methodological and periodic variety, maintaining, with this, respect for the different tendencies of philosophical knowledge, as well as for the different orientations of thought.
Text Similarity Check
Peer Review: The manuscript, whether in the form of an article, a translation of some philosophical text or a review of philosophical books, is submitted to the “double-blind” examination by at least two reviewers. The referees are, preferably, professors associated with national and international Philosophy Graduate Programs. Modifications and/or corrections suggested by the reviewers regarding the content and/or the wording (clarity of the text, grammar or new spelling rules) of the contributions are passed on to the respective authors, who will have a limited period of time to make the required alterations. The article, however, will be sent for evaluation only if it satisfies the originality and adequacy requirements set out above and the manuscript formatting model.

Equal distribution is sought between the areas of philosophy, geographic and gender. The committee is responsible for administrative matters and for the journal's editorial policy. The editorial board is composed of recognized national and foreign researchers. An equitable distribution is sought between the various areas of philosophy and some members of related areas, as well as gender, geographic and institutional, whether nationally or internationally. The criteria for choosing national members is based on their Lattes Curriculum, especially researchers with a CNPq/Category PQ-1 research productivity scholarship. For foreigners, the choice is made based on their curriculum, considering their production, impact factor and international reference. The editorial board has an advisory role and can be called upon to suggest decisions on opinions on material submitted in specific situations, make suggestions in the journal's editorial line, as well as suggest or organize thematic issues. |
Guidelines and Peer Review
Every contribution submitted to the Journal undergoes, first, a preliminary evaluation by the Editors, which analyzes the adequacy of the works according to the Journal's editorial line, their adequacy to the scope, and aspects such as contribution and originality of the text. Submissions that have gone through the editorial verification process are forwarded to at least two/two ad hoc reviewers specialized in the subject, who will subsidize the editors. The review system is by Double Blind Review: the names of the reviewers will remain confidential, also omitting the names of the authors from the reviewers. The criteria for evaluating the articles take into account the relevance of the topic, originality of the contribution in the thematic areas of the Journal, text clarity, adequacy of the bibliography, theoretical structure and development, methodology used, conclusions and contribution made to the knowledge of the area. The opinions may result in three types of assessments: Defer; Defer with restrictions; Dismiss. The publication of works is subject to compliance with the recommendations of the referees. The evaluation is based on the Evaluation Form Guiding questions for objective evaluation of the submission (indicate grades from 1 to 5 )
The objective requirements quantitatively indicate the opinion of the appraiser/a. However, it is essential, in order to fulfill the didactic and dialogic role of the opinion, that the evaluator also builds a descriptive opinion of the submission. In this sense, they have complete freedom to explain their assessment and decision, commenting on the items listed above, as well as other points they deem relevant to the improvement of the work evaluated. |
