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.
