5 Year impact factor: 4.5
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. Please see the Guide for Authors for more details.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Applied Ocean Research

ISSN: 0141-1187
5 Year impact factor: 4.1
Impact factor: 4.3

The aim of Applied Ocean Research is to publish open access papers that significantly advance state-of-the-art knowledge in a wide range of topics relevant to ocean research, technology and engineering applications. These topics include:Wave mechanics and hydrodynamicsWave-structure interactionStructural design, mechanics and dynamicsHazards, safety, reliability and risk managementMarine energy, both renewable and hydrocarbon basedOcean acousticsOffshore engineeringGeotechnical engineeringCoastal engineeringMaritime engineering and naval architectureSubsea engineeringArctic and polar engineeringControl and application of remotely-operated vehiclesEmerging methods in modelling and field researchIt is important that all papers, particularly very theoretical ones, should stress the practical importance and applicability of their contents. Purely theoretical papers with no application are discouraged.
