Information For Authors
The different sections of Phi/Psy are "Materials", "Articles" and "Dialogues". The "Materials" section contains essays by distinguished figures in Italian translation, often accompanied by a brief introduction. The "Articles" section contains essays that have undergone a double-blind referencing process. Finally, the "Dialogues" section hosts dialogues between scholars on a topic chosen by the editors.
How the review process works
The journal relies on a double-blind peer review process. Papers proposed by authors are received by the Editors, who decide whether to reject the proposal ex officio (in the case of obvious misconduct, or if the proposal’s topic is incompatible with the journal's scientific objectives) or to initiate the review process. In the latter case, the editors are assisted by the members of the Editorial Board in managing the anonymous review process, which involves the following steps: identifying the two reviewers, mediating between the reviewers and the authors while protecting their identities, and taking a final decision on the publication of the proposal. In the event of a strong disagreement between the two reviewers, the Editors and the Editorial Board may reserve the right to request a new opinion and initiate a second round of review.
The Open Journal System platform, which the journal relies on for the editorial production process and the issue’s publication, guarantees the protection of the identities of those involved in the blind review process. Reviewers are required to justify their judgment by completing the review form on the journal's OJS platform.
Upon request, members of the Editorial Board may disclose the identity of reviewers and authors only at the end of the review process and for the sole purpose of establishing direct contact.
Authors and reviewers should contact the Editorial Board and Editors in case of disputes or reports.
