This journal publishes original scientific contributions that advance understanding of hydrological processes, with international implications. The journal publishes research articles, scientific briefings, data notes, and visualizations. The journal also publishes several special issues annually, which relate to themes emergent from conferences and hydrological science societies and key research topics identified by the Editorial Board. Typical papers might consider mechanisms underlying the movement and storage of water in the environment; the interaction of water with geological, biogeochemical, atmospheric and ecological systems; and/or techniques used to observe or quantify hydrological processes. Not all papers related to water resources are appropriate for submission to this journal; rather we seek novel papers that clearly articulate the role(s) of hydrological processes. Authors should ensure that papers take appropriate account of uncertainty in both data and model results, and describe data availability.

We accept the following article types:

HP Research Articles:

These should be original and novel contributions that advance our understanding of hydrological processes by presenting new concepts, theories or results.

All research articles should take the following into account:

Presentation of Observational Data - The Editors strongly encourage authors to provide details of the techniques and uncertainties associated with data collection and analysis.

This should include:

• The units and an estimate of the precision of individual observations;
• If the number of observations is great enough summary sample statistics should be associated with estimates of uncertainty, including in graphical presentations of data as error bars or box plots of distributions. For a small number of observations all data should be shown;
• Where statistical tests are used, the test should be clearly named, and the number of observations and critical values of the test statistic and probability should be clearly stated. Consideration should be clearly given to the critical assumptions required (e.g. normality of distributions, independence of observations), and those assumptions tested as appropriate.

Presentation of modelling results - The Editors strongly encourage authors to provide details of the evaluation and uncertainties of modelling results presented.

This should include:

• An assessment of the uncertainty of the observations used in the evaluation of relevant model variables;
• Full details of the methods of model evaluation and performance measures used;
• Some assessment of the uncertainty associated with the modelling results. This should at least be based on a sensitivity analysis even if a full uncertainty analysis is not feasible.
• A statement of the conditionality of the modelling analysis giving full details of the sources of uncertainty considered and the assumptions used (if necessary in the Supplementary Material). Where this includes treating uncertain variables as known precisely, this should be stated explicitly.

HPToday:

Devoted to research and sources of information which are considered to be deserving of rapid dissemination to hydrologists. As such, it should be seen as a forum for rapid scientific communication and as a vehicle for up-to-date dialogues in hydrological sciences.

HPToday includes the following article types:

Scientific Briefings - These are short papers that follow a fast track publication route, offering a total time from submission to publication not normally exceeding four months. The review process for such submissions will be completed within four weeks. Scientific briefings are limited to four submitted pages pr around 5000 words, and are concise research letters that present scientific advances that are likely to have immediate influence on the research of other hydrological investigators. Scientific briefings can focus on a specific technique, process or models that have broad significance to the understanding of hydrological processes. The structure should be similar to that of a regular paper but greatly condensed for rapid communication and focused on a single important and timely point.

Data Notes - The purpose of HPToday Data Notes is to alert the scientific community to the existence of data sets and data bases that could be used in further hydrological, or multi-disciplinary collaborative research. Contributions will have a maximum length of two (2) submitted pages, and will be subject to peer-review. The following components should be included in a Data Note:

• The official title of the data set/data base.
• A listing of all contributors to the creation of the data set/data base, a statement of the funding origins and ownership of the data set/data base, together with any licensing or embargo restrictions.
• A description of the data, and (If relevant) a description of the study site at which the data were obtained.
• A description of the method(s) used to create the data, including instruments, proprietary software or other research-critical equipment, and assessment of uncertainty associated with the data.
• A statement of the contribution that the data make to an improved understanding of hydrological processes, including citations to publications that have used it, and an outline of the range of applications that the data may have in hydrology.
• Details about how the data may be accessed (including landing page url, DOI or other identifier), and the means to access any software that might be needed in order to access and process the data to convert them to a usable form.

HPEye contributions - The purpose of the HPEye section in HPToday is to provide a venue for the presentation of short videos, animations or examples of data visualization that focus on hydrological processes. Examples of such contributions might include a brief video showing the installation of a specific type of equipment, or an animation illustrating a particular hydrological process. These contributions would be citable and would be assigned a DOI. All submissions would undergo peer review. The following components should be included in an HPEye contribution:

• The official title of the contribution.
• A listing of all contributors to the creation of the contribution.
• An image or series of images, animations in a generally recognized format (pdf, MP4, etc.).
• Details about how the video, animation or data visualization example may be accessed (e.g. url).
• A brief (no more than 1 printed page) description of the content of the video or animation, including the methods of its collection/generation and its relevance to hydrological processes.

Invited Commentaries – Authors are normally invited by the HPToday Editor to provide Commentaries that outline their perspective on topical issues related to hydrological processes. However, the Editor encourages authors to submit proposals for such Commentaries. These should all be sent to the HPToday Editor before a finalized Commentary is submitted to the journal.

HP James Buttle Invited Review :

The HP James Buttle invited review is a solicited article type covering high-profile current topics in hydrological process research.  Reviews revisiting classic hydrological process concepts may also be invited.  This type of article is named after Dr. James Buttle, who served as an exemplary Editor of HPToday articles from 2004 until 2022.

Cover Letters

Cover letters are not mandatory; however, they may be supplied at the author’s discretion.

Novelty and International Appeal Statement

All articles must be accompanied by a short author statement detailing the novelty and international significance of the paper to the understanding of hydrological processes

This statement should be uploaded as a separate file. The novelty and international significance should also be made clear within the main text of the article (i.e. the abstract, objectives, main findings and conclusions should make it clear how the article enhances understanding of hydrological processes and is of interest to a wide and international audience).

Parts of the Manuscript and File Types

Submissions via the new Research Exchange portal can be uploaded either as a single document (containing the main text, tables and figures), or with figures and tables provided as separate files. Should your manuscript reach revision stage, figures and tables must be provided as separate files. The main manuscript file can be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or LaTex (.tex) formats.

If submitting your manuscript file in LaTex format via Research Exchange, select the file designation “Main Document – LaTeX .tex File” on upload. When submitting a Latex Main Document, you must also provide a PDF version of the manuscript for Peer Review. Please upload this file as “Main Document - LaTeX PDF.” All supporting files that are referred to in the Latex Main Document should be uploaded as a “LaTeX Supplementary File.”

Cover Letters and Conflict of Interest statements may be provided as separate files, included in the manuscript, or provided as free text in the submission system. A statement of funding (including grant numbers, if applicable) should be included in the “Acknowledgements” section of your manuscript.

Copies of papers currently submitted to other journals by any of the authors that relate to the paper submitted to Hydrological Processes must be included with the initial submission and uploaded as "Supplementary Material for Review".

File types

Figure files: Please note that figure files should be submitted as separate files, with one figure per file. Figures should be submitted in .EPS/.TIFF/.TIF format, with a minimum resolution of 300 DPI for standard images, or 600 DPI for figures containing graphs. No figures should be submitted as part of the body of text. Please note that manuscripts that do not comply with these guidelines will be sent back to the Author Centre for amendments

EMBEDDED RICH MEDIA
This journal has the option for authors to embed video and audio within their final article. These files should be uploaded using either the "Embedded Video" or "Embedded Audio" file designation. Authors should upload a transcript of any speech within the video and/or audio files, using the "Transcription" file designation. If you have additional video or audio files, which are not intended to be part of the final article, these can be upload using the "Supporting Information" file designation. The maximum file size is 350 MB.

• Embedded Video: A video file that would be embedded within the final article. These files will be subject to peer review.
• Embedded Audio: An audio file that would be embedded within the final article. These files will be subject to peer review.
• Transcription: A typed version of any speech within the video and/or audio files.

For full guidance on accepted file types and resolution please see here.

Ensure each file is numbered (e.g. Video 1, Video 2, etc.) Legends for the rich media files should be placed at the end of the article.

The content of the video should not display overt product advertising. Educational presentations are encouraged.

Any narration should be in English, if possible. A typed transcript of any speech within the video/audio should be provided. An English translation of any non-English speech should be provided in the transcript.

All embedded rich media will be subject to peer review. Editors reserve the right to request edits to rich media files as a condition of acceptance. Contributors are asked to be succinct, and the Editors reserve the right to require shorter video/audio duration. The video/audio should be high quality (both in content and visibility/audibility). The video/audio should make a specific point; particularly, it should demonstrate the features described in the text of the manuscript.

Participant Consent: It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to seek informed consent from any identifiable participant in the rich media files. Masking a participant’s eyes, or excluded head and shoulders is not sufficient. Please ensure that a consent form (https://authorservices.wiley.com/author-resources/Journal-Authors/licensing/licensing-info-faqs.html) is provided for each participant.

NON-LATEX USERS: Upload your manuscript files. At this stage, further source files do not need to be uploaded.

LATEX USERS: If you have used LaTeX to produce your manuscript please follow these instructions for submitting:

Please upload your LaTeX and EPS source files, designating them as files 'not for review'. These will be used for typesetting purposes and must be uploaded with each version of your paper, i.e. original version and all revisions. A single .tar or .zip file containing all of your source files and a readme file should be uploaded. If you have used a .bib file to generate your bibliography in LaTeX, please do include this in your .tar/.zip archive along with the .bbl and .tex files; this will aid the typesetting process.

Note Regarding pdfTeX: Please do not use pdfTeX to create your PDF. We have found that PDFs created using pdfTeX often fail. The latest version of pdfTeX is not currently supported by ScholarOne. If you have used pdfTeX, please also upload a PS file.

For reviewing purposes please upload a single PDF that you have generated from your own source files. Please use the file designation "Main Document". Please see the following guidelines for further information on restricted fonts and other useful tips for preparing your manuscript in LaTeX: LaTeX Helpful Tips.pdf

Revisions

NON-LATEX Users: Editable source files must be uploaded at this stage. Tables must be on separate pages after the reference list, and not incorporated into the main text. Figures should be uploaded as separate figure files.

LATEX USERS: When submitting your revision you must still upload a single .pdf that you have generated from your now revised source files. You must use the File Designation "Main Document" from the dropdown box. In addition you must upload your TeX source files. For all your source files you must use the File Designation "Supplemental Material not for review". Previous versions of uploaded documents must be deleted. If your manuscript is accepted for publication we will use the files you upload to typeset your article within a totally digital workflow.

Title Page

The title page should contain:

i. A short informative containing the major key words. The title should not contain abbreviations (see Wiley's best practice SEO tips);

ii. A short running title of less than 40 characters;

Wiley Author Resources

Manuscript Preparation Tips: Wiley has a range of resources for authors preparing manuscripts for submission available here. In particular, authors may benefit from referring to Wiley’s best practice tips on Writing for Search Engine Optimization .

Editing, Translation, and Formatting Support: Wiley Editing Services can greatly improve the chances of a manuscript being accepted. Offering expert help in English language editing, translation, manuscript formatting, and figure preparation, Wiley Editing Services ensures that the manuscript is ready for submission.

Preprint your manuscript while it’s under review

Beginning Fall 2019, Hydrological Processes is participating in a pilot of the under review service, Wiley’s new initiative to streamline the early sharing of research and open up the peer review process. Authors can now opt to preprint their manuscript during the submission process and showcase their work to the global research community as a preprint, before it is accepted or published. Please note that articles not accepted for publication in Hydrological Processes cannot be removed from Authorea if you have opted into this under review service.

The under review service is powered by Authorea, an open research platform for all your research outputs, including data, figures, and preprints. By opting-in authors can: 

• Seamlessly preprint at the same time you submit your research for publication 
• Share your work early, while indicating it is being considered at a specific journal
• Track the peer review process openly in real time
• Immediately make their work citable, discoverable, and easily shareable
• Get additional community feedback that can be used to improve your manuscript

 
Learn more about the benefits of the under review service.

Editorial Review and Acceptance

The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality, originality and significance of the research and relevance to the scope of the journal. Except where otherwise stated, manuscripts are single-anonymized peer reviewed. Papers will only be sent to review if the handling Editor determines that the paper meets the appropriate quality and relevance requirements.

Wiley's policy on confidentiality of the review process is available here.

Appeals and Complaints 

Authors may appeal an editorial decision if they feel that the decision to reject was based on either a significant misunderstanding of a core aspect of the manuscript, a failure to understand how the manuscript advances the literature or concerns regarding the manuscript-handling process. Differences in opinion regarding the novelty or significance of the reported findings are not considered as grounds for appeal. To raise an appeal, please contact the journal by email, quoting your manuscript ID number and explaining your rationale for the appeal. The editor’s decision following an appeal consideration is final.  

To raise a complaint regarding editorial staff, policy or process please contact the journal in the first instance. If you believe further support outside the journal’s management is necessary, please refer to Wiley’s Best Practice Guidelines on Research Integrity and Publishing Ethics. 

Data Storage and Documentation

Hydrological Processes encourages data sharing wherever possible, unless this is prevented by ethical, privacy, or confidentiality matters. Authors publishing in the journal are therefore encouraged to make their data, scripts, and other artefacts used to generate the analyses presented in the paper available via a publicly available data repository; however, this is not mandatory. If the study includes original data, at least one author must confirm that he or she had full access to all the data in the study and takes responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of the data analysis.

Conflict of Interest

The journal requires that all authors disclose any potential sources of conflict of interest. Any interest or relationship, financial or otherwise that might be perceived as influencing an author's objectivity is considered a potential source of conflict of interest. These must be disclosed when directly relevant or directly related to the work that the authors describe in their manuscript. Potential sources of conflict of interest include, but are not limited to: patent or stock ownership, membership of a company board of directors, membership of an advisory board or committee for a company, and consultancy for or receipt of speaker's fees from a company. The existence of a conflict of interest does not preclude publication. If the authors have no conflict of interest to declare, they must also state this at submission. It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to review this policy with all authors and collectively to disclose with the submission ALL pertinent commercial and other relationships.

Funding

Authors should list all funding sources in the Acknowledgments section. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their funder designation. If in doubt, please check the Open Funder Registry for the correct nomenclature: https://www.crossref.org/services/funder-registry/

Authorship

The list of authors should accurately reflect who contributed to the work and a separate list detailing how the authors contributions were made should also be provided. All those listed as authors should qualify for authorship according to the following criteria:

1. Have made substantial contributions to conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data;
2. Been involved in drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important intellectual content;
3. Given final approval of the version to be published. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content; and
4. Agreed to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.

Contributions from anyone who does not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed, with permission from the contributor, in an Acknowledgments section (for example, to recognize contributions from people who provided technical help, collation of data, writing assistance, acquisition of funding, or a department chairperson who provided general support). Prior to submitting the article all authors should agree on the order in which their names will be listed in the manuscript.

Additional Authorship Options : Joint first or senior authorship: In the case of joint first authorship, a footnote should be added to the author listing, e.g. ‘X and Y should be considered joint first author’ or ‘X and Y should be considered joint senior author.’

ORCID

As part of the journal’s commitment to supporting authors at every step of the publishing process, the journal requires the submitting author (only) to provide an ORCID iD when submitting a manuscript. This takes around 2 minutes to complete. Find more information here.

If a paper is accepted for publication, the author identified as the formal corresponding author will receive an email prompting them to log in to Author Services, where via the Wiley Author Licensing Service (WALS) they will be required to complete a copyright license agreement on behalf of all authors of the paper.

Authors may choose to publish under the terms of the journal’s standard copyright agreement, or Open Access under the terms of a Creative Commons License.
