About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Palimpsesto is a free quarterly student magazine, which publishes texts from graduate students, masters, doctors and researchers in co-authorship with any of the previously mentioned profiles. The magazine is interested in featuring texts that are inserted in any perspective, empirical or theoretical, in the great areas of Language, Linguistics and Literature, and also their possible intersections, such as History, Philosophy, Psychology, Archaeology, Pedagogy and others. We published articles originally written in Portuguese, English, Spanish and French.

Peer Review Process

The review process is done through the double-blind peer review by two members of the Editorial Board and/or external reviewers ad hoc, so as to maintain and guarantee impartiality, always so important when it comes to academic merit. In the case of discrepancy, the text is sent to a third examiner, who is responsible for the final decision.
