About the Journal

Focus and Scope

As stated in Article 2 of the statutes of the Society for Kantian Studies in the Spanish Language, the scientific objectives of the SEKLE are "to promote the study of Kant's philosophy, of his time, of his background and of his later influence, as well as of the themes related to his thought, his philosophical method and his possible current development and appropriation". These objectives are equivalent to the programmatic approach of the Journal of Kantian Studies. International publication of the SEKLE, shortened as REK. The journal will include high quality scientific research results written in Spanish (as it is the language of the Society which the REK serves as a scientific body), German (as it is the language of Kant) or English (as it is a lingua franca in the current global context) and referring to any of the fields related to Kantian philosophy, or in which its presence has a significant relevance.

In particular, collaborations (scientific articles and book reviews) linked to any of the following fields will be collected:

1. Pre-critical work

2. Theory of Knowledge, Philosophy of Science and Metaphysics

3. Moral and Religion

4. Political philosophy, Law and History

5. Aesthetics

6. Kant and other thinkers (both before and after him)

7. Kant's news

8. Kantian Historiography

9. Reviews, debates, interviews, chronicles, information

Acceptance of originals follows the blind peer review procedure. The rules for publication, as well as the evaluation criteria, are detailed in the corresponding section.

The e-ISSN of the journal is 2445-0669. The REK is published twice a year, in April and October. Exceptionally, and for symbolic reasons, its first issue was published on 12 February 2016, on the anniversary of Immanuel Kant's death.

Peer Review Process

Peer review process

The originals received are assessed, in the first instance, by one or more members of the journal's Editorial Board to decide on their suitability for the areas of knowledge and requirements that the journal has published.

The Editorial Board sends the originals, duly anonymised (blind-review), to two external evaluators on the Editorial Board, who issue their report. In case of disagreement between the two evaluators, the Editorial Board decides whether or not to request a third report. On these opinions, the Editorial Board decides to reject, accept or request modifications from the author of the work.

Authors receive a detailed and reasoned notification where the content of the original reports is presented and retouched, with specific indications for modification (if necessary) and an evaluation of their work according to the objective criteria that the journal has previously made public.

The work to be reviewed, whether minor or more important modifications have been requested, must be returned to the editorial committee within a maximum period of one month.

Open Access Policy

This journal provides immediate free access to its content under the principle that making research freely available to the public fosters greater global knowledge exchange. It thus adheres to the Berlin Declaration on Free Access to Scientific Literature, which was signed in 2003 at an international conference organised in the German capital by the Max Planck Society.

Ethical statement

Duties of the authors

Originality and plagiarism. Authors must ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if they have used the work and/or words of others, this must be properly cited. Such citations should be included in the references at the end of the article.

Multiple publication. An author should not publish manuscripts that describe essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting simultaneously the same manuscript to more than one journal constitutes unethical editorial behaviour and is unacceptable.

Source recognition. Due recognition should always be given to the work of others. Authors should cite publications that have influenced the development and nature of the work reported.

Authorship of the work. Authorship should be limited to those who have contributed significantly to the conception, design, implementation or interpretation of the study and should be listed as co-authors. Others, who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, should be recognised or listed as contributors.

Corresponding author. The corresponding author is the author responsible for communicating with the journal for publication. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors are included in the article. All co-authors must have seen and approved the final version of the document and accepted its submission for publication.

Acknowledgement of funding sources. Sources of funding for research indicated in the article should be duly acknowledged at the end of the article.

Disclosure and conflict of interest. All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other conflicts of interest that could be interpreted as influencing the outcome or interpretation of their manuscript.

Fundamental errors in published works. When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his or her own published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal editors or editorial team and to cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the work.

Duties of the reviewers

Contribution of the peer review. Peer review helps editors to make editorial decisions, while editorial communications with the author can also help the author to improve the work.

Lack of qualification for review and promptness. Any reviewer who feels that he or she is not qualified to review the assigned manuscript or cannot provide prompt review should notify the editors and excuse him or herself from the review process.

Confidentiality. Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They should not be shown to or discussed with others unless authorized by the editors. Information or privileged ideas obtained through peer review should be kept confidential and should not be used for personal gain.

Objectivity of standards. Reviews should be conducted in an objective manner. There will be no personal criticism of the author. Reviewers must express their opinions clearly and through solid arguments.

Acknowledgement of sources. Reviewers should identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the authors. Any statements that have been previously reported elsewhere should be accompanied by the appropriate citation. The reviewer should also bring to the attention of the editor-in-chief any substantial similarities or overlaps between the reviewed manuscript and any other published work of which he or she has personal knowledge.

Conflict of interest. Reviewers should decline to review manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors.
