Journal Guide

Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy directly relates Chinese philosophy to other philosophical traditions, covering all subfields of philosophy. Most uniquely, Dao does not only focus on the comparison of Chinese and Western philosophy: it also publishes articles on the relation between Chinese philosophy and other Asian philosophies – such as Indian, Japanese, and Korean philosophy - and between Chinese philosophy and African and Islamic philosophy. Dao is thus a truly international and multicultural journal, which is also reflected by the various nationalities of the board members and the contributors to the journal. In addition to high-quality research articles on comparative philosophy and articles on its theories and methodologies, Dao also publishes book reviews in the area of Chinese and comparative philosophy. Dao is in fact the only journal that regularly publishes reviews of books in Chinese, as well as full-length articles reviewing works of contemporary philosophers in China.

Darwiniana is a half-yearly botanic publication of the Instituto de Botánica Darwinion, (CONICET-ANCEFN).

Main articles are usually included in the following sections: Archeobotany and Ethnobotany, Reproductive biology, Ecology and Phytogeography, Structure and Development, Genetics, Systematics and Taxonomy of Nonvascular Plants, and Systematics and Taxonomy of Vascular Plants. The Editorial Board may publish book reviews, obituaries, communications to the subscribers, and the instructions to authors in the section "Miscellany".The editing process includes 4 main succesive steps: 1) a preliminary evaluation of the article; 2) a peer review made by two or three independent reviewers not belonging to the Darwiniana Editorial Board; 3) the style corrections; and 4) correction of print proofs. .

The major aim of the journal is to identify, investigate and analyze the underlying principles in the design and effective use of these systems. DKE achieves this aim by publishing original research results, technical advances and news items concerning data engineering, knowledge engineering, and the interface of these two fields.DKE covers the following topics:1. Representation and Manipulation of Data & Knowledge: Conceptual data models. Knowledge representation techniques. Data/knowledge manipulation languages and techniques.2. Architectures of database, expert, or knowledge-based systems: New architectures for database / knowledge base / expert systems, design and implementation techniques, languages and user interfaces, distributed architectures.3. Construction of data/knowledge bases: Data / knowledge base design methodologies and tools, data/knowledge acquisition methods, integrity/security/maintenance issues.4. Applications, case studies, and management issues: Data administration issues, knowledge engineering practice, office and engineering applications.5. Tools for specifying and developing Data and Knowledge Bases using tools based on Linguistics or Human Machine Interface principles.6.
