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:

• A small group of 'mentors' who assist potential authors from lower income countries.
• Workshops on how to prepare and publish in JWaSHDev.
• A prize for the best paper each year from an author from a developing country.
