About the Journal
Urban Water Journal is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing high-quality, original research. Please see the journal's Aims & Scope for information about its focus and peer-review policy.
Please note that this journal only publishes manuscripts in English.
Urban Water Journal accepts the following types of article:
Research Articles - A research article presents and discusses findings from a piece of original research. Typically, it should include an introduction (including a research question or hypothesis), a description of the research performed (theory and methods), an explanation of the results of that research, and a discussion of the importance of those results.
Review Articles - A review article discusses and assesses (i.e. reviews) the state of knowledge in a particular field within Urban Water Management. The author’s original research should not be the main focus of a review article, but original work needs to be undertaken by the author in comparing, critically evaluating and extracting useful insights from the review undertaken.
Case Studies - Case studies present results from specific projects, interventions or place-based studies, thus contributing data and insights useful for researchers and practitioners internationally. Case studies provide an opportunity to publish in the peer-reviewed literature findings that otherwise would have remained largely inaccessible to the wider academic community. Note: the title of the manuscript needs to include the term “case study”
Technical Notes - Technical notes present novel techniques, experimental or computational methods to solve a particular engineering problem in urban water management. They are targeted to the new solution, present data to support the validity of the approach and to allow readers to reproduce results.
