Journal of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Development Scholarship Winner Announced
IWA and The Water Institute at UNC are pleased to award a scholarship to Dr Emmanuel Akpabio, University of Uyo, Nigeria for his paper "Water Meanings, Sanitation Practices and Hygiene Behaviors in the Cultural Mirror: A Perspective form Nigeria". Candidates for this scholarship were authors from low-income countries who had an article published within the last year in the Journal of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Development. Dr Akpabio was chosen as a recipient for a full scholarship based on the quality of his paper and will receive airfare, lodging and complementary conference registration.
SUPPORT FOR AUTHORS FROM LOWER AND MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIES
The Journal of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Development is concerned to attract high quality papers from a wide range of countries, sectors and disciplines. Its Editors recognize that there are barriers that often discourage individuals and teams, especially in low income countries, from publishing in international journals. Some of these barriers relate to language (lesser confidence in English as the language of publication) and to ease-of-access to colleagues with familiarity with paper writing processes, skills and demands.
The Journal, IWA and its Editors have launched three initiatives to help reduce the impact of these barriers and to increase access to publication in JWaSHDev:
MENTORSHIP SUPPORT FOR AUTHORS FROM LOWER AND MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIES
How will mentoring work in practice? All papers must be submitted on-line in the usual way. If a Journal Editor (on first reviewing a paper or on receipt of reviewer comments), considers that a paper from an author or team from a low- or middle-income country contains the basis of a publishable paper but requires substantive language and/or presentational improvement they may ask the author if they would be interested to be offered guidance and support from a mentor. If agreed, the editor will identify an appropriate mentor from a list of pre-identified mentors and refer the author to him/her. Mentor support is not considered appropriate where a co-author on the paper is from a high-income country institution.
What does this mean for mentors? Effective mentors will be sensitive to cultural as well as linguistic differences including different styles of argumentation; and will guide authors in developing an understanding of effective paper writing and associated skill development rather than simply providing direct editing support or re-writing text. We would not expect any mentor to have more than one mentorship at a given time nor to take on more than one mentorship in a year. Mentors are asked to provide this assistance in support of the wider good and not to seek co-authorship on papers for which they provide assistance.
What does this mean for authors? Authors are asked to understand that mentors are providing this assistance voluntarily and in good faith; and to recognise that this may limit the speed with which comments and responses can be provided. Authors would normally be expected to recognize the support provided by the mentor in an 'Acknowledgements' section in their paper.
WORKSHOPS ON HOW TO PUBLISH IN JWaSHDev
Workshops on writing, communication and publishing journal articles will be held at conferences and key events linked to JWaSHDev. The workshops will include a presentation on how to prepare a journal manuscript, advice on what to include and what to avoid, and an opportunity to ask questions and share experiences. To find out when the next workshop will take place or to suggest a venue suitable for a workshop, contact washdev@iwap.co.uk
PRIZE FOR BEST PAPER FROM A LOWER INCOME COUNTRY
The Water Institute at UNC is pleased to offer a prize to the best paper published by the Journal of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Development:
- With a first named author from and living in a lower income country.
- Where that author has not published in an international journal previously.
- Relevant to the mission and objectives of the Water Institute at UNC.
The best paper will be judged by a panel of selected experts. The prize will take the form of funding equivalent to up to $1500 towards the costs of the lead author’s participation in the 2011 UNC Conference on Water and Health (to cover travel, accommodation, and registration). The winner is expected to present at the 2011 conference.

Instructions to Authors
Journal of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Development
Instructions for authors
1. General policy
Journal of Water Sanitation and Hygiene for Development is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the dissemination of high-quality information on the science, policy and practice of drinking-water supply, sanitation and hygiene at local, national and international levels. The journal wishes to encourage diversity in published material, and welcomes the submission in English of original contributions including research, analysis, review and commentary:
Research Papers: Research papers are fully documented, interpreted accounts of significant findings of original research, and should not normally exceed 5000 words. Manuscripts exceeding 6000 words will not be accepted for review.
Practical Papers: Practical papers provide new information on subjects of interest to professionals in practice, and should not normally exceed 2500 words. Manuscripts exceeding 3500 words will not be accepted for review.
Short Communications: Short Communications are fully documented, interpreted accounts of significant findings of original research. As compared to research papers they normally reflect a tightly defined piece of work or works. They should not normally exceed 2500 words. Manuscripts exceeding 3500 words will not be accepted for review.
Review Papers: Review papers are critical and comprehensive reviews that provide new insights or interpretation of the subject through thorough and systematic evaluation of available evidence. They should not normally exceed 8000 words. Manuscripts exceeding 10,000 words will not be accepted for review.
Discussions: Discussions should normally take the form of a ‘letter’ and present significant comments or questions about a work published in the Journal. A discussion would normally include substantiated disagreement with, or alternative interpretation of, one or more aspects of a paper. It would also normally discuss associated implications for the conclusions reached. Discussions should be received within 3 months of the publication date of the paper on which they comment. Authors of potential discussions are encouraged to enter into communication with the Editor-in-Chief before preparation or submission of text. While there is no word limit, discussions should be brief and tightly focused. A discussion, if accepted, will normally be shared with the authors of the paper concerned who will be provided opportunity to respond.
Editorials: Editorials provide commentary, by a recognized authority, on an issue of wide interest. They may precede an event (such as an international development policy conference); or be in response to a development (for example to a major international policy change or pandemic disease). Authors of potential Editorials are encouraged to enter into communication with the Editor-in-Chief before preparation or submission of text. Editorials should not normally exceed 700 words and are limited to a maximum of 1500 words.
Support for authors from lower and middle income countries
The Journal of Water Sanitation and Hygiene for Development is concerned to attract high quality papers from a wide range of countries, sectors and disciplines. Its Editors recognize that there are barriers that often discourage individuals and teams, especially in low income countries, from publishing in international journals. Some of these barriers relate to language (lesser confidence in English as the language of publication) and to ease-of-access to colleagues with familiarity with paper writing processes, skills and demands. The Journal, IWA and its editors have launched three initiatives to help reduce the impact of these barriers and to increase access to publication in JWaSHDev: (i) a small group of 'mentors' who assist potential authors from lower income countries; (ii) workshops on how to prepare and publish in JWaSHDev, and (iii) a Prize for the best paper each year from an author from a developing country.
All submissions should be accompanied by a list of 3 potential referees.
Where requested to do so by the Editor, authors must revise their papers, normally within one month of the request (extensions are granted at the Editor’s discretion). No page charges apply for papers published in the journal. The journal can accommodate colour figures, at a cost to the author of £350 per figure.
Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the publisher.
JWaSHDev welcomes publications with lead and co-authors from countries at all stages of development. We often receive submissions reporting on work undertaken in a country other than that of residence or citizenship of the authors. We normally expect that such work will have involved active and substantive participation of individuals from the country concerned as partners and that they will therefore be engaged as co-authors. Papers submitted where this is not the case may be rejected. Exceptions include papers based on re-analysis of previously published data.
JWaSHDev requires ethical conduct in any work considered for publication. Many submissions to the journal involve research on human subjects, including for example interviews and focus groups. For such papers we normally expect inclusion of a statement concerning ethical review board (IRB) clearance/approval in the methods section of the manuscript.
All papers should be submitted electronically to https://www.editorialmanager.com/washdev
Upon acceptance of a paper, authors will be asked to sign a Transfer of Copyright Agreement releasing copyright of the paper to IWA Publishing. Provision is made on the form for work performed for the United States Government (for which Copyright cannot be assigned) and other extenuating circumstances.
Proofs will be sent by e-mail to the listed corresponding author. Any corrections must be returned within two days of receipt and should only cover typesetting errors. Proofs should be returned to Emma Gulseven at IWA Publishing in London.
2. Article content and format
(a) General. All pages in papers must be numbered consecutively. The main text should be typed flush left with no indents and double line spaced. Insert one return between paragraphs, and a double return between paper title, and authors' names and addresses on the first page.
(b) Title page. The title of the paper should be as concise as possible. The title page or section must also state the names and full addresses of all authors. Telephone, fax, e-mail numbers and, if appropriate, web site identifications must be included for the corresponding author to whom proofs will be sent. A short title of not more than 80 letters and spaces must be provided for printed page headings.
(c) An Abstract of 100-200 words should appear under the authors' names and addresses in printed papers, briefly specifying the aims of the work, the methods used, the main results obtained and the conclusions drawn.
(d) Under the abstract up to 6 Keywords should be listed in alphabetical order.
(e) Main text: for clarity this should normally be subdivided into:
Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, References
A conclusions section is particularly valuable to readers and should always be included in papers. Do not number or letter section headings.
(f) Abbreviations and Notations. Nomenclature must be listed at the beginning of all printed paper contributions and must conform to the system of standard SI units. Acronyms and abbreviations must be spelled out in full at their first occurrence in the text and summarised at the start of the contribution. Write equations in dimensionless form or in metric units.
(g) References: citations in text. Use surname of author and year of publication: Jones (1982) or (Jones 1982). Insert initials only if there are two different authors with the same surname and same year of publication.
Two or more years in parentheses following an author's name are cited chronologically, and two or more references published in the same year by the same author are differentiated by letters a, b, c, etc. For example: Brown (1969, 1972, 1973a, b). Different references cited together should be in date order, for example: (Smith 1959; Thomson & Jones 1982; Green 1990).
(h) List of references. References should be listed alphabetically at the end of contributions and in the case of printed papers should conform to the following styles for a journal or book reference.

(i) Figures. All Figures (graphs, drawings, photographs, etc.) must be numbered in sequence with Arabic numerals, in the order they are referred to in the text. Each Figure must have a caption, the general meaning of which can be understood without reference to the text. Figure captions should be concise, and not contain text that should be in the main text.
(j) Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in the order they are referred to in the text.
Table titles should be concise and not include text that should be in the main text. The rows and columns of Tables should be generated using word-processor tabulation features; do not use text separated by tabs, or graphics of tabulated data.
(k) Equations should be in dimensionless form or in SI units. Use italic letters to denote variables (in the text and the equations). In Equation Editor, define the font of all Styles (except Symbol) to Times New Roman. Number all equations in parentheses at the right hand margin. Ensure that a given mathematical symbol in an equation and a corresponding symbol in the main text, or in a Figure or Table, are clearly identifiable with each other, i.e. use the same font type, size and style.
(l) Supplementary data including appendices, annexes, data sets etc are permitted and will be published online only with a link provided in the main text.
