Preserving the Present, Leaving a Permanent Record for the Future
The Epochal Transition (ISSN 3083-5178) is an independently created and continuously published ten-language research journal founded and edited by Jeffi Chao Hui Wu, an Australian-based International Independent Scholar.
The journal documents and preserves
four decades of firsthand experience (1986–2026), bringing together
Chinese Australian history, migration experience, multidisciplinary
research, systems innovation, cultural heritage, martial arts
inheritance, and observations from the transition between the pre-AI
era and the age of artificial intelligence.
Since its establishment, The Epochal Transition has published twelve main issues together with numerous companion publications. Across all ten-language editions, the project now comprises more than 10 million published words, over 10,000 A4 pages, and more than 80 DOI-registered publications, forming one of the most comprehensive independently created multilingual documentary collections developed by a single author.
The journal contributes to the
preservation of Australia's multicultural documentary heritage through
continuous publication and long-term international digital
preservation. Its publications have been preserved, catalogued, or
connected with major international scholarly and library
infrastructures, including TROVE (National Library of Australia), WorldCat, Zenodo, OpenAIRE, DataCite DOI, ORCID,
and other international research infrastructures, ensuring long-term
public accessibility, discoverability, citation, and preservation.
The Epochal Transition is an independent publication. It is non-political, non-religious, and non-advocacy
in nature. Its purpose is to preserve authentic firsthand documentation
and make it permanently accessible to future generations through
multilingual publication and international scholarly infrastructures.
The twelve main issues of The Epochal Transition collectively
document four decades of firsthand experience (1986–2026), preserving
Chinese Australian history, migration experience, multidisciplinary
research, and the transition from the pre-AI era through ten-language
publication and long-term international digital preservation.
