  • Impact factor: 4
Advances in Water Resources provides a forum for the presentation of fundamental scientific advances in the understanding of water resources systems. The scope of Advances in Water Resources includes any combination of theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches used to advance fundamental understanding of surface or subsurface water resources systems or the interaction of these systems with the atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and human societies. Manuscripts involving case studies that do not attempt to reach broader conclusions, research on engineering design, applied hydraulics, or water quality and treatment, as well as applications of existing knowledge that do not advance fundamental understanding of hydrological processes, are not appropriate for Advances in Water Resources.Examples of appropriate topical areas that will be considered include the following: • Surface and subsurface hydrology • Hydrometeorology • Environmental fluid dynamics • Ecohydrology and ecohydrodynamics • Multiphase transport phenomena in porous media • Fluid flow and species transport and reaction processesAdvances in Water Resources will be also be accepting Letters which are rapid communications providing short reports of significant fundamental research in all fields of hydrology. Contributions submitted as Letters should be not only fundamental and novel but also potentially transformative in impact by providing new observations, theories, or findings deserving of expedited review and publication. If a submission is deemed acceptable for consideration as a Letter contribution by the Editors, it will be reviewed by Editorial Advisory Board members for technical merits, impact, and broadness, with a review response expected to be within 15 days. Authors will be requested to respond to reviews within 10 days.

Analytic Methods in Accident Research

  • ISSN: 2213-6657
  • 5 Year impact factor: 12.3
  • Impact factor: 12.5
Analytic Methods in Accident Research publishes manuscripts that deal with the development and/or application of innovative statistical and econometric methods to the study of vehicle crashes and other transportation and non-transportation-related accidents. The intent of the journal is to demonstrate how such innovative methodological approaches can be used to provide new insights and quantification of the factors that affect the frequency and severity of accidents - thus providing new guidance for the implementation of appropriate countermeasures. While the focus of the journal is on the underlying analytic approach, acceptable application areas include all elements of transportation safety (road, pedestrian, air, rail, and water safety), construction safety, and any area of study where the unintended consequences of human behavior, machine failures or system failures result in property damage and/or bodily injury.

Artificial Intelligence in Geosciences

  • ISSN: 2666-5441
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the fastest growing disciplines in electronic information technology. Along with diversified data, AI-enabled technologies such as image processing, smart sensors, and intelligent inversion, are being tested by researchers in a wide variety of geosciences domains. These technologies have the potential to help geosciences move from qualitative to quantitative analysis. We believe that taking an interdisciplinary approach will deliver benefits to both geosciences and AI.Artificial Intelligence in Geosciences is an open access journal providing an interdisciplinary forum where ideas and solutions related to artificial intelligence and its applications in geosciences can be shared and discussed. To support this discussion, we encourage authors to open source their code, data, and the labels used in AI.We welcome both fundamental science and applied research describing the practical applications of AI methods in the fields of geology, rock physics, seismicity, hydrology, ecology, marine geosciences, planetary science, environment, volcanology, oceanography, remote sensing and GIS, and related areas.Submissions to Artificial Intelligence in Geosciences may take the form of original research articles, review articles, perspective papers, or short communications, and a variety of topics will be considered.
