Scientific paper

We will introduce the main objectives of the future Chinese LAMOST spectroscopic quasar survey, aiming at discovering 0.4 million new quasars in the next 5 years. This will hopefully provide the largest quasar sample for the further studies of AGNs. The data from the existing and future X-ray surveys will be very helpful in the quasar candidate selection and the constructions of sub-samples of X-ray selected or obscured quasars. We will also describe our improved quasar selection criteria based on the UKIDSS near-IR and SDSS optical colors, and their advantages in recovering the missing quasars in the `redshift desert'. In addition, some recent discoveries of new quasars by the LAMOST commissioning observations will be presented.
