1. Main WebsitePollution and Diseaseshttps://pollution-diseases.orgFunction: Public representation, strategic vision, and academic identity.This is the official information portal of the journal. It provides:• Journal scope and aims• Editorial board information• News, conferences, and announcements• Strategic themes (e.g., war & environment, freshwater systems)• Institutional information and policies• Contact and partnership informationPurpose in the system: This website represents the intellectual and institutional identity of the journal. It is the entry point for readers, authors, and partners.
2. Journal Publishing Platform (OJS). Open Journal SystemsPollution and Diseases OJShttps://pollution-diseases-ojs.org Function: Peer-reviewed journal publication system.This platform is the operational core of the journal where:• Authors submit manuscripts• Peer review is conducted• Articles are published with DOIs• Metadata is exported (Crossref, indexing systems)• Citations and downloads are trackedPurpose in the system: This is the official publishing engine of the journal. All peer-reviewed scientific articles are published here.
3. Research Repository (OJS-based)PD Repositoryhttps://pd-repository-ojs.orgFunction: Open research archive and supplementary materials storage.This repository serves as a complementary research infrastructure for:• Preprints• Data sets• Technical reports• Conference materials• Supplementary research documentationPurpose in the system: The repository increases transparency, reproducibility, and open science compliance. It allows authors to deposit materials that extend beyond the formal journal article.
4. Book Series PlatformPollution and Diseases Book Serieshttps://pd-book-series-ojs.orgFunction: Publication of academic monographs and edited volumes.This platform is dedicated to:• Thematic book projects• Edited scientific volumes• Conference proceedings• Long-form research studies• Interdisciplinary research collectionsPurpose in the system: The book series expands the journal’s mission beyond article-length publications, supporting deeper and more comprehensive academic contributions.
5. Conference Platform. P&D Conference https://pdconference.orgFunction: Academic conferences focused on pollution and disease-related research. The conference platform serves as a live extension of the ecosystem, enabling direct scientific exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration.The first conference will take place on October 15–17, 2026 in Prague. Conference theme: War, Soil, and Freshwater Systems. This topic reflects one of the most urgent and globally relevant research areas, addressing the environmental and public health consequences of war-related ecological damage.The conference also introduces a new format of academic interaction, combining traditional presentations with an integrated publishing workflow (DOI assignment, archiving, and post-conference availability of materials).Purpose in the system:The conference platform connects all elements of the ecosystem in real time — from idea exchange and presentation to publication and long-term accessibility — strengthening collaboration between researchers, institutions, and disciplines.
How the System Works TogetherThink of the structure as a layered academic ecosystem:● Main Website → Identity and Strategy● Journal OJS → Peer-reviewed articles● Repository → Open data and extended materials● Book Series → Long-form academic publishing● Conference Platform → Academic conferences focused on pollution and disease-related researchEach platform has a distinct function, but all are integrated under one academic mission:to advance interdisciplinary research at the intersection of pollution, environmental transformation, war-related ecological damage, and public health.
Why Multiple Platforms?Modern academic publishing requires:• Transparency• Metadata interoperability• DOI management• Long-term archiving• Open science compliance• Flexible publication formatsSeparating platforms improves clarity, technical stability, and indexing compatibility while preserving unified editorial governance.
