Evolutio Journal
New Foundations for Life, Evolution and Development
A Journal for the Unfolding of New Ideas
The Evolutio Journal is a transdisciplinary research journal and knowledge ecosystem dedicated to exploring life, evolution and development in all its dimensions—scientific, philosophical and societal. We publish theoretical, philosophical and empirical work that challenges conventional boundaries and invites new ways of thinking. Our mission is to create an open, inclusive and living space for ideas to unfold and evolve.
Aims & Scope
A Platform for Life, Thought, and Unfolding Ideas
The Evolutio Journal publishes original work that explores the unfolding of life, evolution and development across multiple dimensions:
- Theoretical — Conceptual frameworks, models, and new paradigms in biology, philosophy and systems thinking.
- Philosophical — Essays and reflections on the meaning, purpose and teleology of life.
- Empirical — Experimental, observational, and computational studies that illuminate evolutionary and developmental processes.
- Transdisciplinary — Contributions that integrate insights across science, philosophy, ethics, society and ecology.
The journal welcomes submissions that are innovative, integrative, and boundary-crossing, reflecting EVOLUTIO’s commitment to a life-centered and evolutionary epistemology—a living ecosystem of knowledge that transcends institutional boundaries.
- Open-access and freely available to all readers.
- Encourages submissions from independent thinkers, early-career researchers and established authors alike.
- Operates under a post-publication peer review (PPPR) model, prioritizing transparency, dialogue and continuous evaluation.
Editorial Leadership
The Evolutio Journal is curated and managed by EVOLUTIO, an independent evolutionary research center dedicated to the unfolding of life, thought and development.
The journal’s vision and integrity are guided by Agustín Ostachuk, Founding Director and Editor-in-Chief.
Peer-Review & Submission Guidelines
Transparent, Open, and Continuous Evaluation
The Evolutio Journal operates under a post-publication peer review (PPPR) model, emphasizing transparency, dialogue, and the ongoing evolution of ideas. This model reflects our belief that ideas flourish when exposed to critical engagement rather than gatekeeping.
How It Works:
- Submission: Authors submit their work via the journal platform. Articles may be theoretical, philosophical, empirical or transdisciplinary.
- Immediate Publication: Once submitted, the article is published online with a unique EVOLUTIO URI, making it openly accessible to all readers.
- Community Review:
- Peer commentary is open to registered reviewers, independent thinkers and readers.
- Reviews and responses are linked to the article and openly visible.
- Authors are encouraged to engage, respond and revise based on constructive feedback.
- Continuous Evaluation: Articles remain “living documents,” with updates and revisions documented and timestamped, reflecting the unfolding nature of knowledge.
Submission Guidelines:
- Format: Word, LaTeX or compatible open-access format (PDF for final published version).
- Length: Flexible; priority given to clarity, rigor and insight.
- Ethics: Authors must ensure integrity and originality. Citations and acknowledgments are mandatory.
- Open Access: All submissions are freely available; no fees required.
Model & Open-Access Philosophy
Knowledge Without Barriers
The Evolutio Journal is open-access and freely available to all, reflecting our commitment to democratizing knowledge and nurturing an inclusive intellectual ecosystem. We reject paywalls, subscriptions, and traditional gatekeeping that restrict the flow of ideas.
Core Principles:
- Free Access: Every article, dataset, and multimedia element is accessible to readers worldwide without cost.
- Independent Validation: Our journal establishes its own legitimacy through transparent post-publication peer review, semantic web integration, and community engagement, rather than relying on traditional indexes or institutional approval.
- Self-Contained Infrastructure: Hosted within the EVOLUTIO website, the journal leverages its semantic web architecture and EVQ IDs / URIs to ensure discoverability, referenceability, and cross-linking across concepts, papers, books, and innovations.
- Author Empowerment: Authors retain copyright and control over their work, fostering creative freedom and intellectual autonomy.

The Path of Life: From Life at the Center to a Dynamic Ontology and a Science for Good Living
The question of life resists reduction: the more it is dissected into mechanisms, the farther we often move from its meaning. This essay argues that life should be understood as a path: an inwardly directed process — an unfolding of…
Editorial: Toward a Living Ecology of Knowledge
Knowledge, once the act through which humanity oriented itself within the mystery of existence, has become the most coveted commodity of our time. Its institutions no longer serve the search for truth, but the circulation of prestige. Its networks no…
