The Pollution and Diseases Conference 2026 is connected to an integrated publishing workflow. This workflow is designed to preserve conference knowledge, make accepted contributions citable, and create several publication routes for authors who wish to develop their work further.
Conference publication does not mean that every accepted contribution automatically becomes a full journal article. Different types of materials follow different editorial and publication routes.
Publication routes
Conference-related materials may appear through the following routes:
1. accepted conference abstracts and presentation records;2. full journal articles based on conference contributions;3. accepted presentation records, including plenary, oral/session, poster, and e-poster presentations;4. selected materials in the post-conference book;5. expanded book chapters, edited volumes, or monographs in the Pollution and Diseases Book Series.
Each route has its own purpose, review process, metadata structure, and access model.
Accepted conference abstracts and presentation records
Accepted conference abstracts and presentation records are the primary publication output of the conference.
DOIs are assigned to abstracts accepted for the conference after official registration of the presenting participant has been confirmed.
Official registration means that the applicable conference registration fee has been paid and received.
DOIs are also assigned to all accepted conference presentation records, including:
- plenary presentations;- oral/session presentations;- poster presentations;- e-poster presentations.
DOIs are not assigned at the moment of submission. A DOI is assigned only after acceptance and confirmed registration.
The DOI prefix is:
**10.66659**
The DOI suffix is generated automatically by the publishing system.
Journal publications
Authors may develop their conference contribution into a full journal article for submission to the journal Pollution and Diseases.
Journal publication is a separate editorial process. Acceptance of an abstract or presentation for the conference does not automatically mean acceptance as a full journal article.
Full journal manuscripts undergo editorial screening, peer review, revision where required, and a final editorial decision.
Journal articles are published with complete bibliographic metadata, citation information, and DOI registration.
Accepted presentations
Accepted presentations are listed as part of the official conference record.
This includes plenary, oral/session, poster, and e-poster contributions accepted by the Scientific Committee and confirmed through participant registration.
Each accepted presentation record may include:
- title;- author names and affiliations;- abstract;- keywords;- presentation type;- conference session or thematic track;- DOI;- citation information;- access information for related files where applicable.
Full presentation files, slides, recordings, or discussion materials may be restricted to registered participants unless public access is approved by the authors and organizers.
Post-conference book
After the conference, selected materials may be developed into a post-conference volume within the Pollution and Diseases Book Series.
The post-conference book is a curated scholarly volume. It is not a simple automatic collection of all submitted materials.
The volume may include:
- selected plenary and session contributions;- revised conference papers;- expanded analytical essays;- selected poster-based contributions;- editorial syntheses of conference discussions;- additional papers submitted after the conference and accepted by the editors.
Inclusion in the post-conference book may require additional editorial review, revision, formatting, and author approval.
Pollution and Diseases Book Series
The Pollution and Diseases Book Series is a scholarly platform for academic books, edited volumes, monographs, thematic collections, and selected conference-related volumes.
The Book Series supports long-form academic publishing in environmental research, pollution studies, river systems, environmental security, public health, and related interdisciplinary fields.
Book Series volumes may receive ISBNs and DOIs. Individual chapters or new contributions may also receive DOI records where applicable.
Full book files may be distributed under the access model specified for each volume. DOI landing pages, bibliographic metadata, abstracts, keywords, and citation information remain available for academic discovery and citation.
Publication fees and registration
The conference registration fee covers the publication of accepted conference abstracts and presentation records for registered presenting authors.
No DOI or conference publication record is created for an unaccepted, withdrawn, duplicate, or unregistered contribution.
Full journal articles, book chapters, monographs, or expanded post-conference publications may follow the relevant publication policy of the journal or Book Series unless explicitly covered by a conference-specific arrangement.
Purpose of the publication workflow
The publication workflow is designed to:
- make accepted conference contributions citable;- preserve the intellectual record of the conference;- support long-term accessibility of scholarly materials;- distinguish conference outputs from full journal articles and book publications;- give authors a clear route from presentation to article, chapter, or book-length publication.
Authors should choose the publication route that best matches the maturity, length, and scholarly purpose of their work.
