Aims and Scope

Aims :

TATHO: International Journal of Islamic Thought and Sciences (e-ISSN: 3046-6776) is a double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access international journal published quarterly (February, May, August, and November) by International Tatho Academics, Indonesia.

TATHO serves as a premier global platform dedicated exclusively to advancing Transepistemic Islamic Thought and Sciences. Moving beyond conventional interdisciplinary models and regional boundaries, the journal establishes a novel paradigm that systematically bridges divine revelation (naql), rational inquiry ('aql), empirical data, and frontier technology. TATHO examines how foundational Islamic epistemologies interact with, critique, and transform contemporary technological, scientific, and socio-ethical realities.

Scope :

To ensure high intellectual impact and methodological rigor, TATHO strictly prioritizes empirical and theoretical manuscripts that demonstrate a clear dual contribution: advancing Islamic epistemological discourse while offering actionable solutions to global challenges.

The journal’s scope is centered on three core transepistemic pillars:

  1. Transepistemic AI, Digital Epistemologies, and Educational Innovations: Critical inquiries into the convergence of Islamic educational philosophy with Artificial Intelligence (e.g., Generative AI, machine learning), computational pedagogy, and digital ethics across formal and non-formal learning institutions worldwide.
  2. Transepistemic Hermeneutics, Digital Media, and Public Discourse: Methodological research linking classical Islamic exegesis (Tafsir and Hadith) with modern empirical discourse analysis (CDA), digital humanities, and new media ecosystems to examine how religious authority and public discourses are mediated globally.
  3. Transepistemic Bioethics, Socio-Legal Dynamics, and Economic Governance: Integrative applications of Islamic legal maxims (Maqasid al-Shariah) to contemporary bioethics, health humanities, gender-sensitive socio-legal issues, and ethical micro-economics (including grassroots Sharia micro-finance and digital Zakat governance).

Out of Scope :

To maintain a sharp editorial identity and high-quality control, TATHO does not consider:

  • Monodisciplinary natural or hard science studies (e.g., isolated laboratory experiments in physics, chemistry, biology, or clinical medicine) without direct transepistemic integration with Islamic thought or ethics.
  • Generic pedagogical or sociological studies lacking substantive engagement with Islamic epistemological frameworks.
  • Purely descriptive or hyper-local case studies that lack broader theoretical, methodological, or global significance.
