AIH aims to promote the application of hydrologic sciences by bringing together our community of hydrologists through dialogue and knowledge sharing. One avenue of knowledge sharing has been the AIH technical articles shared by members – a mainstay opportunity for the community to share their experiences, interesting studies, lessons learned, and technical innovations.
We believe the community appreciates the opportunity to share on a professional platform – a location that is more formal than social media, where we include an AIH Communications Committee review process, but not the burden (or cost!) of journal publishing. We want to make sure that the AIH community has a professional platform to share their works, and one that can be easily cited and referenced given your contributions and hard work.
As such, the AIH is excited to announce a change to the process for technical article publications – rather than embedding technical articles within Bulletins, submitted articles will be shared as standalone publications. This brings a number of benefits:
- Easier to cite and reference with direct permanent links
- Ability to share cross-platform for author promotion
- Standardized archiving of technical articles
- Asynchronous publication de-linked from AIH Bulletins
- Networking opportunities by broadly sharing your unique expertise or perspectives
AIH Members can submit articles for review and consideration at this link HERE. Guidelines for preparing a manuscript can be found HERE. Images should be shared as separate referenced image files (rather than embedded in the document), and text may be shared in Microsoft Word for easy review and comment prior to publication. Please refrain from submitting promotional material for services or products – articles should help support and grow the hydrologic community.
Once articles are provided for review, they will undergo an AIH process that consists of a small panel of PH members. Articles are reviewed for technical relevance, appropriateness for AIH members, and readability. Comments will be provided to the author for consideration before final publication. Review and publication times will vary, but we aim to turnaround articles as quickly as possible to be sure your works are shared in a timely manner.
Potential topics of interest include:
- Technical reports or findings,
- Reviews or perspectives on recent hydrologic events, or
- Case studies
We’re excited about these changes and welcome your submittals to be published and shared with the community. Please contact admin@aihydrology.org with any questions, otherwise please share your submittals HERE.
