About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Cadernos de História e Filosofia da Ciência (Cahiers of History and Philosophy of Science) is aimed at readers interested in epistemology, philosophy of science, theory of knowledge and history of science. The journal's main objective is to publish original articles by Brazilian and foreign researchers, as well as translations of texts concerning central themes in the philosophical, methodological, and historical reflection on science. It also publishes annotated translations of notable texts from the historical development of this reflection, and reviews in the areas of knowledge covered by the journal.

Published since 1980 and edited by the Centre for Logic, Epistemology and History of Science (CLE) at Unicamp, the journal accepts contributions in Portuguese, Spanish, French and English on the history and philosophy of the formal and empirical sciences (pure and applied), focusing on scientific rather than institutional issues.

Target audience

Researchers, teachers, academics, students, libraries and institutes interested in the history and philosophy of science.

Periodicity

Since 2025, the journal has adopted a rolling publication system, enabling articles approved by the editorial team to be published quickly and efficiently. There are no issues; articles are published in a single volume as they are approved.
