Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (TAO) is a SCI-accredited journal publishing original scientific articles, notes, correspondence and reviews on the solid earth, atmosphere, hydrosphere and space. In general, articles should not exceed 15 printed pages including illustrations. "Notes and correspondence" should be limited to 5 printed pages. "Reviews" should put previous scientific work of at least ten years into perspective. Although reviews may be longer than articles, prospective authors are advised to discuss their plans with an editor or associate editor in advance. Submission of a contribution is assumed to indicate that no similar paper, other than an abstract or a preliminary report, has been, or will be, submitted for publication elsewhere. We welcome your suggestions of potential reviewers for the Editor's reference. Note that it is required to sign the PUBLICATION CHARGE AGREEMENT (download) when you submit an article to us. |
