journal-of-hydrology
Use when targeting Journal of Hydrology or deciding whether a hydrology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the broad process/observational/applied-hydrology contribution bar, data-and-reproducibility expectations, Elsevier house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Journal of Hydrology (journal-of-hydrology) ## Journal positioning Journal of Hydrology is Elsevier's broad-scope outlet for the hydrological sciences, covering surface and subsurface hydrology, hydrometeorology, water quality, hydrological modeling, and observational hydrology across catchment to continental scales. Its defining expectation is a **sound, useful hydrological advance** — a process insight, a method, a dataset-driven analysis, or an applied result that improves how hydrologic systems are understood, predicted, or managed; it deliberately accommodates process, observational, methodological, and applied studies more broadly than AGU's Water Resources Research, whose bar is fundamental water-science novelty. A well-executed regional study can fit here if it yields transferable lessons or clear hydrological insight, even without a wholly new theory. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidance. Before submitting, re-check the live Journal of Hydrology author instructions and data policy. ## When to trigger - The author names Journal of Hydrology and wants a fit/framing check for a hydrology paper

What does the journal-of-hydrology skill do?
Use when targeting Journal of Hydrology or deciding whether a hydrology manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the broad process/observational/applied-hydrology contribution bar, data-and-reproducibility expectations, Elsevier house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill journal-of-hydrology --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
