AGORA. Papeles de Filosofía publishes original papers on all fields in Philosophy.
Manuscripts may be sent in any of the more common formats (.doc, .docx, .odt). However .pdf submissions are not accepted. Authors can submit the following kinds of texts: Essays, Notes, Book Reviews and Translations.
Authorship of works. In works of multiple authorship, the responsible author must be identified, who will also be the contact author. The responsible author will ensure the recognition of all authors who share authorship of the work and make sure that all of them know and have approved the final version of the document.
The names of the authors must appear in alphabetical order by the first surname in case they all contributed in the same way in the work. If the contribution of each author is different, it is recommended to state it in a note using the conventionalized terminology CRediT ().
Essays (long papers) will be no longer than 60.000 characters (with spaces, and including title, author[s], affiliation[s], country[ies], ORCID number[s], abstract in two languages–one of them being English, or Spanish if the original abstract is in English–and keywords in the appropriate languages). In any case, the following data will only be included in the version for publication if it is accepted by the Editorial Board: author(s), affiliation(s), country(ies), ORCID number(s). The initial version submitted for evaluation must be completely anonymized.
Notes (short papers) will be no longer than 30.000 characters (with spaces, and including title, author[s], affiliation[s], country[ies], ORCID number[s], abstract in two languages–one of them being English, or Spanish if the original abstract is in English–and keywords in the appropriate languages). In any case, the following data will only be included in the version for publication if it is accepted by the Editorial Board: author(s), affiliation(s), country(ies), ORCID number(s). The initial version submitted for evaluation must be completely anonymized.
The pages of the manuscript will be numbered consecutively, including footnotes and references. Essays and Notes will have the structure of an academic paper, necessarily including a conclusion.
First page of Essays and Notes: The version for publication, once accepted by the Editorial Board, on its first page it will include as a heading, left paragraph indentation, the following information in separate lines or paragraphs: (1) title of the paper, (2) author(s), (3) affiliation(s) and country(ies), (4) ORCID number(s), (5) an abstract of between 100 and 200 words and (6) between 3 and 7 keywords. Title, abstract and keywords will have to be translated into English, or into Spanish in the case of papers written in English. In the anonymized version summited for evaluation, the following data will obviously not be included: (2) author(s), (3) affiliation(s) and country(ies), (4) ORCID number(s).
Footnotes: Footnotes (not endnotes) not corresponding to the heading of the paper will be numbered consecutively; those referring to the heading wil be marked with asterisks.
Format: Papers will be formatted in Times New Roman font, size 12, 1.5 spacing. Footnotes will be in size 10, single spacing. Textual quotations exceeding 4 lines will be separated from the body of the text, with a space before and after the text, font size 11, left paragraph indentation and without quotation marks.
Tables and Figures: Both tables and figures will be numbered with arabic numbers (Table 1, Table 2, ...; Figure 1, Figure 2, ...)
Bibliographic references: Bibliographical quotations will be presented integrated in the text with the author’s surname, year and page, e.g. "(Jakobson 1960, 370)". The complete reference will be included only at the end, in the “Bibliographical references” section. This section will be arranged alphabetically by surname, and in the case of several references by the same author, chronologically. In this case, the author’s name will be repeated in each of the references followed by the corresponding year.
In the case of self-citations, “Author” will be written in the anonymized text for evaluation, followed in parentheses by the corresponding year and page, and in bibliographical references the same will be placed at the beginning of the references, without adding other data. Papers accepted for publication in AGORA. Papeles de Filosofía will include the information on self-citations replacing “Author” by the corresponding surname, and in the bibliographical references by the complete references in the corresponding place in alphabetical order.
The way of consigning the references follows the Harvard style, in this way:
- Books: Mead, G. H. (1934). Mind, self and society. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
- Journal articles: Kaplan, B. (1962). "Radical metaphor, aesthetic, and the origin of language", Review of Existential Psychology and Psychiatry, n. 2, pp. 75-84.
- Book chapters: Jakobson, R. (1955). "Aphasia as a linguistic problem", en H. Werner (ed.), On expressive language, Worcester: Clark University Press, pp. 69-81.
Book Reviews will have no title (the title will be the bibliographic reference of the book that is being reviewed). They will not include any footnotes or end notes, nor, in principle, will they include bibliographical references. Maximum length: 12.000 characters (including spaces). Title example for a book review: Sádaba, Javier: Ética erótica. Una manera diferente de sentir, Barcelona: Península, Barcelona, 2014, 190 p.
The journal welcomes translations of articles (not translations of books or of book chapters), that have to be accompanied by the permissions necessary to comply with the legality of publishers’ and authors’ rights.
