About the Journal

Axion Journal of Interdisciplinary Exploration (AJIE) is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal dedicated to publishing groundbreaking research at the intersections of natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, digital technologies, and the humanities. Named after the fundamental theoretical particle symbolizing a bridge between fundamental forces and undiscovered knowledge ("Axion"), the journal serves as a premier convergent scholarly forum for interdisciplinary scientists, systems engineers, data scientists, social theorists, and innovation strategists worldwide. AJIE prioritizes high-impact empirical research, cross-disciplinary computational modeling, complex systems analyses, socio-technical evaluations, and integrative conceptual frameworks that transcend traditional academic silos. By bridging hard sciences, quantitative computational methods, and human-centric social inquiries, the journal fosters a deep, comprehensive understanding of how multi-perspective scientific paradigms solve complex global challenges.

 

Scope and Topics
Reflecting its mandate to champion convergent scholarship and multi-domain problem solving, the journal welcomes high-quality original research articles, systematic interdisciplinary reviews, complex systems modeling, and cross-field experimental studies within the following thematic areas:

 

Socio-Technical Systems & AI Integration: Machine learning applications in social science, computational social science, ethical framework modeling for emerging technologies, and human-computer interaction dynamics.

 

Environmental Complexity, Climate & Geo-Engineering: Cross-disciplinary climate modeling, socio-ecological systems resilience, circular bio-economy systems, and sustainable urban infrastructure engineering.

 

Bio-Engineering, Computational Biology & Health Technology: Convergence of data science and biomedical engineering, bio-inspired algorithms, neural engineering, and synthetic biology systems.

 

Complex Physical Systems & Material Innovations: Advanced interdisciplinary materials science, quantum computing systems applications, energy transition technologies, and space systems engineering.

 

Interdisciplinary Governance, Policy & Economic Systems: Science policy frameworks, technological economics, risk management in complex global networks, and decision theory under systemic uncertainty.

 

Publication Frequency
To ensure rigorous editorial oversight, thorough peer review, and the timely dissemination of interdisciplinary research, AJIE is published semi-annually (2 issues per year, typically scheduled for release in June and December). Special thematic issues focusing on convergent AI applications, climate system modeling, or bio-digital technologies may be commissioned by the Editorial Board.

 

Peer Review Process
AJIE enforces a strict double-blind peer review policy to maintain the highest standards of scientific integrity, methodological rigor, and cross-disciplinary validity.
  • Initial Desk Evaluation: Every submission undergoes a preliminary screening by the Editor-in-Chief or a relevant Interdisciplinary Subject Editor to assess cross-domain alignment, methodological soundness (quantitative modeling precision, qualitative field rigor, computational validity, or experimental repeatability), and structural compliance. Plagiarism screening via Turnitin/iThenticate is strictly executed at this stage, requiring a similarity index below the journal's maximum threshold.
  • Expert Peer Review: Manuscripts passing the desk evaluation are anonymized and assigned to at least two independent international reviewers representing the distinct academic disciplines integrated within the paper.
  • Editorial Decision: Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the Editorial Board renders one of four decisions: Acceptance, Revisions Required (Minor/Major), Resubmit for Review, or Rejection. The final decision rests entirely on intellectual merit, interdisciplinary synergy, empirical rigor, and potential global impact.
