About WATER

WATER is an interdisciplinary journal that brings together research from diverse disciplines. Throughout all of nature water plays pivotal roles, and the goal of this open-access journal is to provide a forum within which workers in one discipline can gain access to the understanding gained in others. WATER is meant to serve as a communication hub, as well as a forum for endeavors not covered by existing journals.

WATER’s focus is on experimental work, although theoretical/computational approaches will be considered if they are accompanied by serious experimental studies. WATER carries original research papers, reviews, and tutorials on advances made within the journal’s scope. All articles are peer-reviewed, and reviewer comments, together with responses by authors, are published as an integral part of each paper.

Disciplines covered by the journal include but are not limited to the following:

  • chemistry of water
  • physics of water
  • water in animal biology
  • water in plant, agricultural, food, and pharmaceutical science
  • water in environmental science
  • water in oceanographic and atmospheric science
