Scientiae Studia aims to make academic production in the fields of philosophy and history of science visible. Merging articles in Portuguese and Spanish, the journal pursues not only the dissemination of critical studies (historical, epistemological and ethical) on science and philosophy, but also a greater linguistic and cultural integration among the Latin American countries.
The journal can be purchased or read online.
