Water Policy mainly tackles studies in Water resources, Water resource management, Environmental resource management, Water supply and Environmental planning. It facilitates discussions on Water resources that incorporate concepts from other fields like Economic growth, Agriculture and Natural resource economics. The work on Economic growth tackled in Water Policy brings together disciplines like Government, Sanitation and Politics.
The journal holds forums on Water resource management that merges themes from other disciplines such as Water conservation, Irrigation, Drainage basin, Water use and Groundwater. Irrigation management is a major topic of Irrigation research presented in it. The journal focused on Drainage basin research but expanded to cover Structural basin.
It focuses on Environmental resource management but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Corporate governance, Sustainability and Environmental economics. The journal features studies on Water supply, including topics such as Water industry. Environmental planning and Environmental protection are closely related fields of research discussed in it.
The main points discussed in the journal articles deal with Water resources, Economic growth, Environmental protection, Agriculture and Natural resource economics. Issues in Water resources were discussed in the most cited papers, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Structural basin, Environmental planning, Environmental resource management and Water resource management. The journal articles focus on Natural resource economics but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Water use, Water conservation, Water pricing and Water scarcity.
Water Policy is organized to address concerns in the fields of Water resource management, Environmental planning, China, Drainage basin and Water resources. Issues in Water resource management were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Irrigation, Water productivity, Structural basin and Water scarcity. Water Policy focuses on Environmental planning research which is adjacent to topics in Groundwater.
Water use, Natural resource economics and Environmental protection are some topics wherein China research discussed in Water Policy have an impact. Topics in Water resources were tackled in line with various other fields like Corporate governance and Irrigation water.
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 Water Policy (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 Water Policy (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, 6.90% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 14.81% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.17% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.58% of all publications and 65.43% 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.
