Author Guidelines

 All papers submitted for publication in our journal have to be free from publishing commitments to any other journal or publishing house. Contributions are first reviewed based on their focal theme by our Editorial Committee and then strictly and thoroughly peer-reviewed. The review process is double blind by both internal and external reviewers. You may submit your paper by emailing revista@fundacionmenteclara.org.ar, including your identifiers (ID) of Redalyc, ORCID and ResearcherID. When the submission has more than one author, they must indicate at the bottom of the article and before the references, the Declaration of Authorship according to the Taxonomy of academic collaboration roles. Along with the article, the supporting data of the research must be sent to be uploaded to the platform for reviewers to use. Once evaluated, and if the article is approved, the set of supporting data will be accessible in our institutional repository in accordance with Law 26.899 on Open Access Institutional Digital Repositories, unless the dissemination of this data may cause some type of damage, such as those that allow the location or identification of people, which could violate the so-called very personal rights, such as the rights to honor, privacy and image.

Our journal does not charge researchers any type of fees to publish their papers. No submission or processing fees are applied to authors to secure research freedom and speed up proper dissemination among the scientific community. 

If the article passes the double-blind review process and is accepted, the MenteClara Foundation will award the author a grant of 594 euros to cover 100% of the processing, publication, and dissemination costs of their research.

Papers must be submitted following standard bibliographical and layout rules such as Vancouver, Harvard or APA writing rules. Our committee recommends Argentine authors specialized in social sciences to use the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th Edition, 2024 (APA).

Our journal publishes papers in both Spanish and English. For submission, authors must download a layout model here in Spanish. There, you will find the rules established by the publisher, as well as the peer-review policy. Download here in English a layout template for shipment. In it you can see the rules established for the edit and the peer review policy.

Papers that do not strictly adhere to these shipping guidelines, set forth in the layout template, will incur a $100 fee.

We strongly suggest that you review this peer review policy before making your submission. There you will find part of the questionnaire that reviewers must answer to evaluate your paper. Some of the questions are specific to specific academic areas. We suggest you answer affirmatively at least 50% of those that correspond to yours. In do so, your article will not be rejected and the review process will begin.

The Editorial Committee is fully compliant with established international standards regarding codes of ethics and good scientific publishing practices. We ask authors to carefully read these standards in COPE's International standards for responsible research publication for editors and authors before sending us their research.

We strongly suggest that before writing your articles you go through the article addressed in Trip Database (Turning Research Into Practice) to verify the latest clinical updates related to your paper as well as you make sure that your work is original and unpublished, since our journal uses Dupli Checker and Crossref Similarity Check among other plagiarism checker tools.

Acta Tántrica

Esta sección está dedicada a integrar el conocimiento académico del Budismo Tántrico Tibetano, preservado en la Universidad Tántrica de Gyuto, con el conocimiento formal occidental.

Acta Tántrica es un foro de discusión abierto pero riguroso para el debate acerca del budismo tántrico tibetano (tantrismo), sus diversas manifestaciones e interpretaciones contemporáneas, y de los diferentes problemas a los que alcanza la visión tántrica.

Nuestra misión es promover e integrar el conocimiento académico del tantrismo, con el conocimiento formal occidental.

«Sostener el origen de una idea y encadenarla con las subsecuentes ideas generadas a partir de ella permite un continuo desarrollo del conocimiento académico. Nada justifica renombrarlas y auto asignarse derechos fundacionales sobre un concepto preexistente llamándolo de otro modo solo para cobrar derechos de autor o no quedar excluidos de sus grupos de pertenencia como se vieron obligados a hacerlo los primeros jesuitas iniciados en el budismo tántrico tibetano que, en vez de tántricos, se denominaron alumbrados». (Gómez O. 1995)

En esta sección se incluirán artículos, análisis críticos de libros, ensayos y todo otro documento relacionado con la temática. Es decir atravesados por la idea del sujeto -y su género- como una construcción de la cultura, independiente de la deidad e iguales entre si.

Esta sección al igual que la revista provee acceso libre, gratuito e inmediato a su contenido (sin necesidad de que el lector se registre) bajo el principio de que hacer disponible la investigación al publico fomenta un mayor intercambio del conocimiento global y por lo tanto un mayor desarrollo del hombre.

Para ser incluidos en la publicación, es necesario que los trabajos se encuentren libres de compromisos editoriales con cualquier otra revista u órgano editorial. Cada contribución será sometida primero a una evaluación de relevancia temática por el Comité Editorial y luego a una evaluación tipo doble ciego con evaluadores internos y externos.
Los envíos deberán hacerse llegar por correo electrónico a revista@fundacionmenteclara.org.ar

Special monographic on Egalitarian Philosophies

The Applied Hermeneutics department of the Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia Austral (Argentina), Fundación MenteClara Internacional’s Peer-Reviewed Journal and the history department of Savitribai Phule Pune University (India) call for papers addressing the following topics

egalitarian philosophies of caste, class, gender, and life choices

looking for relationships between humanist philosophies, existential phenomenology, and their influence on the work and thinking of those who fostered the evolution of shudras and dalits from ignorance and slavery in India, just as Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, Savitribai Phule, Sathyavani Muthu, and others have done in other continents.

This call aims at discussing and integrating concepts as well as creating new academic tools to emancipate individuals and bring them to the same condition of being by gathering, in a common forum, different disciplines that contribute to solve and make inequalities of caste, class, gender, and life choices visible.

We will have in particular consideration (financing projects) empirical research related to the critical analysis of the discourse of contemporary social actors to identify, in those leading or influencing the destinies of regions, tendencies to segregate, massify or emancipate people in verbal or body language.

In this section the articles published for this special call will be regrouped on April 30, 2020.

 

FMC monographic contest - University of Flores

The international MenteClara Foundation and the Health Psychology Chair of the Faculty of Psychology and Social Sciences of the University of Flores, Argentina, invite the participation of students who are taking the subject to produce bibliographic review articles that contemplate in its development the nuclear theoretical constructs that concern Positive Psychology.

In the last decades of the 20th century, Health Psychology began to position itself as a paradigm of psychological knowledge that reformulated the field of study. There is then a shift from a gravitational center that emphasized - during its development in the 19th and 20th centuries - on pathology and conflict, towards another that refers to strengths, virtues, cognitive, emotional, and bonding resources. and macrosocial of human beings. We hope that the articles that make up the monographic issue contribute to systematizing the findings in this field of knowledge.

Students from the University of Flores may participate in the contest, who must have the support of a qualified teacher of the subject Health Psychology.

Articles written by students will be reviewed by professors from the Universidad Andrés Bello in Chile, the Universidad de O’Higgins in Chile, the Universidad Científica del Sur in Peru, the Universidad Maimones in Argentina and the Universidad de Flores also in Argentina. The layout of the articles, corrections to academic and methodological publication standards, are the responsibility of the students supervised by professors from the aforementioned universities, as well as formatting, grammatical and style corrections.
The MenteClara Foundation, without any modification of the content, will convert the articles received for this dossier into PDF, HTML, XML and EPUB for their subsequent: assignment of permanent Digital Identifiers (doi), publication, storage in a Permanent Blind Repository (LOCKSS) as well as their dissemination and copying in Index and libraries.

The construction of a new post-pandemic paradigm

The Arbitrated Scientific Journal of the MenteClara International Foundation (RCAFMC) calls for the presentation of research works focused on the construction of a new subject paradigm and the individual, social, political and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic that seek to respond, among others, to the following questions:

What inequalities became visible with the pandemic?

What new rights were established?

What is the place of philosophy in these events?

How to rethink science and its organization, to respond to these situations?

What social, political, moral and religious discourses supported various ways of thinking about the pandemic?

What teaching instruments can collaborate in the construction of a thinking model that overcomes the subject prior to the COVID-19 pandemic?

This call aims to debate, articulate concepts and produce new academic tools to obtain a clear vision of the possible new post-pandemic system of thought, bringing together in a common forum intellectuals from different disciplines who contribute to solving the consequences of COVID-19 in the individuals and their world of social, political and economic relations.
