As an open-access and continuous publishing journal, TAO aims to facilitate the circulation of novel knowledge and the communication of top researchers from around the globe.
Aims and scope
Launched by East China Normal University, TAO is an international, comprehensive, and innovative journal, aiming to promote the development of global science, technology, and civilization through quantum thinking and Lao Tzu's philosophy, and to explore the ‘Way’ of the world's science, technology, and civilization by publishing high-quality, cutting-edge research articles, reviews, communications, perspectives and commentaries.As a meta-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and even trans-disciplinary publication, the journal will focus on reflecting the revolutionary shifts in thinking systems, technological progress, and social innovation in the era of AI. The initial focus of the journal will be on the following five disciplines or areas:
Philosophy
Physics
Chemistry
Education
AI
The submissions on all topics related to the aforementioned academic disciplines or fields, especially systematic review articles that fully capture emerging concepts at the forefront of these disciplines and exploratory research papers that focus on addressing significant issues in these fields, are welcome. The journal also encourages experts in related fields to organize special issues or article collections in the journal that demonstrate similar characteristics.
TAO adopts the open-access and continuous publishing policy to facilitate the circulation of novel knowledge and the communication of top researchers from around the globe. Currently, the journal will also offer the full waiver of Article Processing Charge (APC) and the peer review process will always be our crucial editorial policy to ensure the high quality of the publication.
Editorial Board
Article types
Article type
Requirements
Review article
Summarize the recent progress in certain core scientific disciplines, comment on the research status, and highlight future directions. The author(s) should focus on one topical aspect rather than providing a comprehensive literature survey. Review papers should closely relate to, but not only focus on the authors own research work. Reviews should not exceed 12,000 words including up to 80 references, a 300-word abstract, 5-8 keywords, and 15 figures.
Research article
Originally report substantial advances regarding an important scientific problem. Articles normally include a 300-word abstract (with sub-headers: Introduction, Material and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions), 5-8 keywords, up to 10 figures or tables and 50 references. Other supporting information should usually be included in Supplementary materials that will only be published online.
Perspectives
Provide fresh insights on new advances of a specific research field of science and technology, or scientific policy and other issues related to science community. Authors should not primarily discuss their own work. While snapshot the issue or problem, perspectives are expected to propose a solution in detail. Perspectives should not exceed 2,000 words and should include an abstract of up to 250 words. They may include 5-8 keywords and up to 10 references.
Commentaries
Offer an opportunity to comment on and discuss a specific research direction or a recent scientific issue of broad interest, and propose detailed suggestions with strong coupling and potential. While snapshot an issue or problem, commentaries are expected to propose a solution in detail. Commentaries should not exceed 2,000 words and should include an abstract of up to 250 words. They may include up to five keywords and up to 10 references.
Short Communication
Short report or announcement of research, usually claiming certain results, which present original and significant material for rapid dissemination. Short Communications are expected to have a higher than average impact on the field rather than report on incremental research. Short communication should not exceed 4000 words.
