Brasiliensis is an academic journal of philosophy and theology of the Redemptoris Mater Study Center (CERM) in Brasília, published biannually since 2012. Our main goal is to disseminate academic works of interest that are consistent with the tradition of Catholic thought and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.

The journal welcomes a variety of contributions, including research articles, critical notes, essays, book reviews, and other dissemination manuscripts, such as inaugural lectures of the academic year and conferences. In 2023, we implemented new editorial policies to strengthen the quality of our publications, publishing only original works and subjecting research articles to a double-blind peer review by an external peer.

Committed to visibility and accessibility, Brasiliensis assigns Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) to all its articles. We are currently indexed in Latindex (Directory) and undergo CAPES's QUALIS evaluation process, actively seeking inclusion in prestigious international directories and databases.
