Cover Letter to Reviewers
Dear Reviewer,
We would like to invite you to be a Reviewer of the new Journal of Polian Studies that aims to be a tool of encouragement for scientific cooperation and communication between researchers and professors towards the major themes of anthropology, metaphysics, and theory of knowledge. The Journal of Polian Studies focusses and takes inspiration from the deep, extensive, and original philosophical proposal of Leonardo Polo. Our principal aim is to publish articles that are models of interdisciplinary work and scientific accuracy allowing the readers to keep abreast of the central issues and problems of contemporary philosophy.
The double review by independent anonymous experts (double-blind review) is a central reference of journals of highest scientific quality. The Editorial Board of the Journal of Polian Studies will take your comments into account before deciding to publish the paper we have sent you. If you think there are any reasons that prevent an anonymous, independent and equitable evaluation of the article, please notify us.
We guarantee the confidentiality of the author and of the reviewers. The article that we submit for your review is a private document: please do not disclose it to third parties or reveal its contents to others before its publication. Your review will also be treated confidentially: we will only communicate to the author the observations that the journal considers most important for improving the manuscript, without revealing the identity of the reviewer. In the case that some of your comments are directed only to the Editorial Board of the Journal of Polian Studies and not to the author of the review article, please indicate this clearly.
In order for the editorial process to move quickly and to keep the authors from excessive waiting, please send the attached guideline as quickly as possible and before [date] to the editor of the Journal, Alberto I. Vargas (avargas@leonardopoloinstitute.org).
For further information please visit our webpage: http://www.leonardopoloinstitute.org/journal-of-polian-studies.html
