Frequency

Escritos is a continuous publication journal issued on a biannual basis (January–June and July–December). Each continuous publication period closes on June 30 and December 31 of every year. The journal receives and publishes articles throughout the year in the thematic areas defined by its editorial scope.

The sections of the journal are the following

• Open Topic: includes articles on a variety of research interests in philosophy and literature, different from those gathered in the dossier. 
• Dossier: brings together articles focused on a specific theme previously proposed by the Editorial Team.

The journal modifies the presentation structure of its sections in issues devoted exclusively to Open Topic, in which the Dossier section does not appear. In some editions, Escritos includes a Translation section containing articles or texts originally published in other languages.

The journal declares that all submitted articles are screened using the Turnitin plagiarism detection tool; the contents published in the digital version are open access and may be downloaded in PDF and HTML formats; authors must state that the text is original, authored by them, and respectful of third-party intellectual property rights; and reviewers must indicate in the evaluation form that they have no conflicts of interest regarding the authors or the topics under review.

Evaluation Timeline

The estimated time for the evaluation process is approximately six (6) months from the receipt of the manuscript. The estimated time for the publication process is approximately two (2) months from the manuscript’s acceptance by peer reviewers and the verification carried out by the journal’s Editorial Team.
