Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Increasing amounts of fresh water will be required in the future as a result of an increase in population rates and enhanced living standards, together with the expansion of industrial and agricultural activities. Available fresh-water resources from rivers and groundwater are presently limited, and growing water demands have led to a rapidly increasing desalination installation capacity worldwide.
Considering the attempt to lower carbon footprints resulting from high-energy consuming desalination processes, the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is announcing a Special Issue on the topic entitled “Advances in Desalination” to appear in 2020.
For this Issue, we invite submissions related to current status, practices, advances, R&D activities, and the prospects of state-of-the-art desalination technologies. In particular, prototype manuscripts may be related to thermal, membrane, and hybrid water desalination processes, as well novel desalination concepts. Moreover, the use of renewable energy or any other system design for lower energy consumption in desalination units is also welcome.
Dr. Dimitrios Sioutopoulos
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
