Desalination is dedicated to promoting leading edge progress on the globally important topic of water desalting since 1966. It focuses broadly on science and engineering, being both fundamental and applied in motivation, respecting that desalination today is a widely accepted practice by industry and communities, but in need of ongoing innovation at all levels to ensure economic and environmental sustainability.Desalination therefore welcomes submissions detailing work that is clearly connected to water desalting including applications of desalination to seawater, groundwater and waste waters, such as thermal, membrane, sorption and hybrid processes. The journal considers articles showing advances in science made on desalination materials, processes and related technologies. Articles can feature transport and process modelling, energy consumption, renewable energy and energy recovery. Topics can also be on related systems such as pre-treatment, post-treatment, integrated plants and brine disposal. Performance aspects are also of interest, for example causes, consequences, and countermeasures of fouling and scaling. Articles presenting interesting technical, economic, and regulatory analyses of full-scale plants will also be considered. Overall, topics of submitted articles are prioritised to those well suited to a journal dedicated to the field of desalination.All submitted articles must predominantly consist of innovative work and original thinking, and present previously unreported outcomes and experiences. A high standard of quality (writing and presentation) is expected for submitted articles commensurate of articles published in leading international journals.

自1966年以來，海水淡化一直致力于推動全球海水淡化這一重要課題的前沿進展。它廣泛地側重于科學和工程，既作為基礎，又作為動力加以應用，考慮到今天海水淡化是工業和社區廣泛接受的做法，但需要各級不斷進行創新，以確保經濟和環境的可持續性。因此，海水淡化歡迎提交與海水淡化明確相關的詳細工作，包括將海水淡化應用于海水、地下水和廢水，如熱力、薄膜、吸附和混合工藝。該雜志認為，文章顯示了在脫鹽材料、工藝和相關技術方面的科學進展。文章可以特色運輸和過程建模，能源消耗，可再生能源和能源回收。主題也可以是相關的系統，如預處理，后處理，綜合工廠和鹽水處理。性能方面也很重要，例如污垢和結垢的原因、后果和對策。文章提出有趣的技術，經濟，和監管分析的全面工廠也將被考慮。總的來說，提交文章的主題優先考慮那些非常適合一本專門研究海水淡化領域的期刊的主題。所有提交的文章必須主要包括創新的工作和原創的想法，并提出以前未報告的結果和經驗。高水平的質量(寫作和展示)被期望提交的文章與在國際領先期刊上發表的文章相當。
