Hydrological Processes focuses on Hydrology, Surface runoff, Drainage basin, Groundwater and Soil water. The journal explores research in Hydrology and the adjacent study of Precipitation. Snow and Climatology are some topics wherein Precipitation research discussed in Hydrological Processes have an impact.
Surface runoff research featured in it incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Infiltration (hydrology), Watershed and Water balance. Topics in Drainage basin explored in Hydrological Processes were investigated in conjunction with research in Structural basin, Sediment, STREAMS and Water resources. The journal centers on topics in Sediment, with a focus on Sediment transport.
Aquifer, Groundwater recharge, Groundwater flow, Water table and Groundwater discharge are some of the study areas of Groundwater discussed. The journal dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Soil water and Water content. The research on Snowmelt discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Meltwater.
The published papers are mainly concerned with subjects like Hydrology, Surface runoff, Drainage basin, Streamflow and Soil water. The study of Hydrology in the published papers encompasses disciplines such as Precipitation, as well as fields such as Climatology and Climate change, all of which overlap with one another. Aside from discussions in Surface runoff, the published articles also deal with the subject of Erosion which intersects with Sediment disciplines.
The journal covers a variety of subjects, including Hydrology, Drainage basin, Surface runoff, Groundwater and Streamflow. Aside from discussions in Hydrology, it also deals with the subject of Precipitation which intersects with Atmospheric sciences disciplines. In the journal, Vegetation, Climate change and Physical geography are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Drainage basin research.
The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Groundwater, apply to Surface water as well. The Streamflow study featured in the journal draws connections with the study of Snowmelt. Evapotranspiration study tackled is connected to the field of Water balance.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Hydrological Processes (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Hydrological Processes (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 4.80% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 25.44% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 12.59% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 12.34% of all publications and 49.62% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)For those interested in expanding their expertise beyond Environmental Sciences, related fields such as counseling and psychology offer promising career pathways. Exploring different types of counselors can help students identify specialized roles that align with their interests, whether it’s family therapy or mental health counseling.
Many aspiring professionals seek flexible learning options, and programs like mft master's programs online provide accessible pathways to gain critical skills and credentials. Additionally, affordable online programs can make pursuing advanced degrees more achievable; students can explore options through listings of affordable online masters in psychology.
For those interested in clinical roles, understanding the earning potential is crucial. For example, information on pmhnp salary highlights how psychiatric nurse practitioners can earn competitive wages across different states.
By considering these related degrees and career options, Environmental Sciences graduates can diversify their skill sets and open doors to interdisciplinary opportunities that address complex environmental and social challenges.
