About the journal
Hydrological Sciences 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.
The editors will consider the following manuscript types for publication in Hydrological Sciences Journal (HSJ):
Research Article: Original research that clearly advances our understanding of the hydrological cycle of the Earth in hydrology worldwide. The original and novel components must be clear and include an explanation of the broader research implications that extend beyond the study area, for example, by noting its unique hydroclimatic setting and how knowledge about it could enhance the overall understanding of the hydrological processes or model studied. The article should demonstrate existing knowledge gaps, be motivated by a set of hypotheses, and explain why the approaches and/or application proposed are hypothesized to fill existing knowledge gaps.
Technical Note: Manuscripts in this category report (a) new developments, (b) significant advances and novel aspects of experimental and theoretical methods and techniques, or (c) new insights into previously published and widely used methods or models. A Technical Note should be short; detailed or specific technical information, such as computer code, should be included as supplementary material.
Rapid Communication: This category is limited to manuscripts that report quickly on either a new scientific finding, a new technology, or an ongoing or very recent extraordinary hydrological event (e.g. an extreme drought, or flood), therefore requiring prompt publication.
Opinion Paper: These manuscripts discuss a topical aspect of hydrology that is intended to stimulate debate among peers on new ideas, views, or perceptions in hydrology. Opinion papers are generally by invitation only. If authors have an idea for an opinion paper, they are encouraged to contact the Editor in Chief.
Discussion and Reply to Discussion: A discussion paper discusses work previously published in HSJ, ideally, but not exclusively, no more than 18 months prior to the submission date. The title should include “Discussion of:” followed by the title of the original article. The authors of the original article will be invited to reply to the discussion(s) and should submit this with “Reply to:” in the title. Both discussion and reply will be peer-reviewed, generally by the same associate editor and reviewers as the original article.
Special Issue Paper: These manuscripts are generally classified as Research Articles and are by invitation from the guest editor(s) of a particular Special Issue. For some Special Issues, a Call for Papers will be published, and submissions are solicited from the wider hydrological community.
Review Article: This type of article summarizes and synthesizes the status of knowledge so as to present novel and unreported or underreported insights into future directions of research within the aims and scope of the journal.
Open Access
