Welcome to the Journal of Catalan Intellectual History (JOCIH). The JOCIH 
is an online and paper publication created with the twofold purpose of fostering 
and disseminating at an international level the studies on Catalan Philosophy 
and Intellectual History. This Journal is published in a Catalan and English elec-
tronic version (http://revistes.iec.cat/index.php/JOCIH) at the Open Journal 
System of the Institut d’Estudis Catalans (IEC), and in English paper version by 
Huygens Editorial (Barcelona). The appearance of the journal will be biannual. 
 The JOCIH is edited by several universities of the Catalan speaking 
area (Autonomous University of Barcelona, University of Barcelona, Univer-
sity of  Valencia) and three Academic Societies (Societat Catalana de Filosofia, 
Societat de Filosofia del País Valencià, Associació Filosòfica de les Illes Balears), 
with the support of three Institutes (Institut d’Estudis Catalans, Institut de Dret 
i Tecnologia UAB, Institut Ramon Llull). 
Content
As shown by the Catalan name of the journal –Revista d’Història de la Filosofia 
Catalana– the JOCIH focuses mainly on philosophy. However, we understand 
intellectual history as a synonymous of cultural heritage in a broader sense. From 
this point of view, we consider cultural history, the history of ideas and the his-
tory of philosophy as different and acceptable perspectives on this same matter. 
Authors are encouraged to submit papers on philosophy, humanities, social sci-
ences, religion, art and other related subjects from a historical approach.  But 
essays and more general reflections are welcome. 
Not only does the journal offer articles on specific topics, but it also 
contains critical reviews of editorial novelties, memory documentaries and 
exhaustive bio-bibliographies of the different Catalan, Valencian, Balearic or 
Northern Catalan authors (especially from 18th to 21st centuries). However, the 
JOCIH aims at fostering the international research on Catalan intellectual his-
tory from the sixteenth century as well. The website associated with the journal 
(http://www.catalanphilosophy.com) offers updated news on publications and

Peer Review Policy
The journal seeks for academic excellence. Authors from all over the world 
are invited to submit their manuscripts (up to 6000 words) at the IEC Open 
Journal System, using the JOCIH template, available at the JOCIH website. 
They may use either the Catalan or English templates (or both, which is recom-
mended). Publication guidelines can be also found on the website. Each paper 
will be carefully evaluated through a double blind peer review process related 
to the content. Accepted papers will be published in both languages, and will 
require an additional task of work of careful language editing.
