This Collection welcomes submissions from all authors – and not by invitation only – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of npj Clean Water more generally. See their editorial process page for more details. The Collection will publish original research Articles, Reviews, Perspectives and Comments. Papers will be published in npj Clean Water as soon as they are accepted and then collected together and promoted on the Collection homepage.
