Our mission is to collect, record and disseminate knowledge without any restrictions, helping researchers find accurate information efficiently. Beyond the Encyclopedia platform, a peer-reviewed namesake journal and Encyclopedia Books have also been established.
The Encyclopedia Journal
Encyclopedia (ISSN 2673-8392) is a peer-reviewed open access journal that publishes high-quality entries, field guides, reviews, systematic reviews, research articles and editorials in all scientific areas. Entries should be reliable, objective, and based on established knowledge rather than original research work or unproven hypotheses. Field guides mainly contain images/illustrations that help readers identify plants, fungi, animals, minerals, fossils, rocks, etc. Reviews should be critical and constructive and provide recommendations for future research. In addition, the section "Encyclopedia Studies" also accepts original research articles.
Encyclopedia Books
The Encyclopedia Books program aims to compile entries that offer comprehensive overviews of established terminology and mature concepts across all scientific disciplines.
