<strong>Drinking</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong> and Science: the first open access journal for drinking<br />
water treatment<br />
On a cold winter morning, bicycling to the university library to find articles <strong>on</strong> the topic you are interested in.<br />
Remember those days? Things have improved, a lot of informati<strong>on</strong> can be found from your desk in the different<br />
e-journals that now exist. But that desk should be <strong>on</strong> the university campus to have access to those journals.<br />
On January 8th, <strong>Drinking</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong> and Science has been launched. The journal is the first <strong>on</strong>line<br />
open access journal <strong>on</strong> drinking water treatment.<br />
‘Open access’ are the key words: every<strong>on</strong>e can download the articles from the journal’s website for free without<br />
expensive subscripti<strong>on</strong>. Nothing is free in this world, you might think. Well, you are right. Publisher Copernicus<br />
hosts the journal and charges the authors for publicati<strong>on</strong>. UNESCO-IHE and <strong>Delft</strong> University of Technology<br />
have set up the journal and have decided to reduce the charges until the journal has an ISI impact factor. But<br />
since the journal is open access, a lot of other scientists will find the papers and cite them, so this should take<br />
not too l<strong>on</strong>g.<br />
The journal aims to be the leading scientific open access journal for the publicati<strong>on</strong> of original research in drinking<br />
water treatment. The focus is <strong>on</strong> fundamental and applied research in water sources, substances, drinking<br />
water treatment processes, distributi<strong>on</strong> systems and residual management. <strong>Drinking</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong> and<br />
Science serves scientists from universities and research institutes and engineers from water supply companies<br />
and engineering c<strong>on</strong>sulting firms. Every issue will c<strong>on</strong>tain at least <strong>on</strong>e paper <strong>on</strong> drinking water in developing<br />
countries. A fund will be established to give<br />
authors from developing countries the opportunity<br />
to publish their work.<br />
<strong>Drinking</strong> <strong>Water</strong><br />
The peer-review of submitted papers is public,<br />
<strong>Engineering</strong> and Science<br />
so if you visit the discussi<strong>on</strong> part of the journal’s<br />
An Interactive Open Access Journal<br />
website (DWESD), you will find the papers that<br />
have been submitted. D<strong>on</strong>’t hesitate to give<br />
Aims & Scope<br />
your comments <strong>on</strong> the papers! We look forward<br />
to receive your papers and to offer you high<br />
quality scientific informati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> drinking water<br />
treatment.<br />
