Call for Journal Papers
Special Issue on
Saltwater Intrusion and Coastal Aquifer Management
in
TRANSPORT IN POROUS MEDIA

Call for Full-Length, Refereed Journal Papers
The
Transport in Porous Media Journal agreed to issue, in conjunction with the conference, a Special Issue on Saltwater Intrusion and Coastal Aquifers that will include journal quality papers submitted to the conference. The Special Issue will be a part of the conference proceedings. Hardbound copies will be available at the conference.  Authors with accepted abstract and intended to attend the conference have the privilege to submit full length journal papers. 
Due to the limitation in size, only a relatively small part of conference papers will be published in a double-length journal issue. All papers submitted to the special issue will go through a rigorous review process same as papers submitted to a regular issue.  Only high quality and original contributions will be accepted.  The topic of the paper must be relevant to the theme of the special issue. Both theoretical and experimental (field and laboratory) types of papers will be accepted.
Special Conditions
Due to size limitation, the following conditions will be imposed:
1. This call for papers is open only to SWICA conference attendees.   The submission of a manuscript is equivalent to a commitment to attend the SWICA conference once the paper is accepted.
2. Papers are restricted to 16 printed journal pages (or equivalently 7,000 words) in length, inclusive of text, references, appendices, and figures.  Authors will be required to trim down the paper if the length limit is exceeded.
3. All paper submitted that meet the quality requirements will be reviewed. However, if the number of accepted papers exceeds the size of the special issue, they will be published on first-come first-serve basis.  Accepted papers that cannot be published in the special issue will be referred to the chief editor of the journal for consideration of publication in regular journal issues.
