About Journal of Air & Water Borne Diseases
An open access platform advancing research on waterborne and airborne pathogen transmission, aquatic environmental health, atmospheric contamination science, and evidence-based interventions to protect public health through ecological surveillance and water quality management.
JAWD welcomes submissions exploring the environmental and ecological dimensions of disease transmission through air and water. Our editorial priorities emphasize scientific rigor, reproducibility, and practical applications for environmental monitoring, outbreak response, and protective infrastructure development.
Waterborne Pathogen Ecology
Microbial contamination in surface water, groundwater, drinking water systems, and aquatic ecosystems; pathogen persistence, transport mechanisms, and environmental reservoirs.
Airborne Disease Transmission
Atmospheric dispersion of infectious agents, bioaerosol dynamics, ventilation systems, indoor air quality, and pathogen viability in respiratory aerosols.
Water Quality Monitoring
Detection methods, sensor technologies, real-time surveillance systems, indicator organisms, and molecular diagnostics for aquatic pathogen identification.
Environmental Epidemiology
Outbreak investigations linking environmental exposure to disease incidence, spatial analysis, risk modeling, and surveillance program evaluation.
Water Treatment & Disinfection
Filtration technologies, chemical disinfection, UV treatment, membrane processes, and validation of pathogen removal in water systems.
Climate & Environmental Change
Impact of temperature, precipitation, flooding, and extreme weather on pathogen distribution, survival, and transmission in air and water.
One Health Approaches
Integrated surveillance bridging human, animal, and environmental health; cross-species pathogen transmission and ecosystem-level interventions.
Environmental Policy & Infrastructure
Regulatory frameworks, sanitation programs, water safety plans, building design for infection control, and evaluation of intervention effectiveness.

JAWD operates on an open access model supported by article processing charges (APCs) assessed upon manuscript acceptance. These fees cover peer review coordination, copyediting, production, indexing, and perpetual hosting. Transparent pricing and waiver policies ensure equitable access for researchers from all economic contexts.
View detailed information on fees, institutional agreements, and financial support eligibility on our Article Processing Charges page. Authors from low-income countries and early-career investigators may qualify for reduced or waived fees.
"I was impressed by the swift services of the journal and easy navigation beginning from manuscript submission to galley proof. I would recommend future authors — consider this journal if you are wondering where to publish your scientific work. They are Google Scholar indexed and so you do not have to worry if your scientific work won't reach the community of other researchers."
Long Island University
"Our experience working with Open Access Pub is excellent. I strongly recommend to specialists in environmental health and public health sciences to publish their research studies in this open access journal."
