The War, Soil, and Freshwater Systems Conference 2026 will be followed by a curated post-conference volume within the Pollution and Diseases Book Series.
The post-conference book is intended to preserve the scientific outcomes of the conference and develop selected contributions into a structured scholarly volume.
Purpose of the volume
The post-conference book will bring together selected materials that make a substantial contribution to the conference theme:
**war-related pollution, soil systems, freshwater systems, exposure pathways, ecosystem effects, public health, restoration, governance, and long-term environmental security.**
The volume is designed to support long-term academic visibility and to preserve the intellectual record of the conference beyond the event itself.
What may be included
The volume may include:
- selected plenary contributions;- revised oral/session papers;- expanded poster-based papers;- analytical essays developed from conference discussions;- editorial syntheses;- selected additional papers submitted after the conference;- revised versions of conference materials where appropriate.
Inclusion in the post-conference book is not automatic.
All materials selected for the book may require editorial review, revision, formatting, and final approval.
Relationship to conference DOIs
Conference abstracts and presentation records may already have their own DOI records.
If a contribution is later expanded into a book chapter or included as a new version in the post-conference volume, the editorial team will determine the appropriate citation and DOI treatment.
Previously published materials will be clearly identified and linked to their original DOI records where applicable.
New book chapters or substantially revised contributions may receive their own DOI records.
Book Series platform
The post-conference book will be prepared within the Pollution and Diseases Book Series, the scholarly book platform for monographs, edited volumes, thematic collections, and conference-related volumes.
Book Series volumes may receive ISBNs and DOI records.
Full access conditions will be specified on the publication page of the volume.
Editorial process
The editorial process may include:
- selection by the editors;- author invitation or confirmation;- revision of conference materials;- editorial and/or peer review;- language and formatting preparation;- final approval before publication.
Authors whose contributions are selected will receive detailed instructions after the conference.
