Use when targeting Water Resources Research (WRR) or deciding whether a hydrology / water-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the quantitative water-science contribution bar, data-and-code deposition expectations, AGU house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Water Resources Research (water-resources-research) ## Journal positioning Water Resources Research (WRR) is the American Geophysical Union's flagship journal for the science of water — the physical, chemical, biological, and socio-hydrological processes governing water resources, and the methods used to observe, model, and manage them. The defining expectation is a **quantitative, generalizable advance in water science**: a new process understanding, method, theory, or analysis that transfers beyond one basin. An applied case study that reports model results for a single catchment with no methodological or conceptual contribution is a weak fit. 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 WRR/AGU author instructions and data policy. ## When to trigger - The author names WRR and wants a fit/framing check for a hydrology or water-science paper. - A basin-specific modeling or monitoring study must be re-framed into a transferable methodological or process contribution. - The author is choosing between WRR, `journal-of-hydrology`, and a broader earth-science venue. - The a

What does the water-resources-research skill do?
Use when targeting Water Resources Research (WRR) or deciding whether a hydrology / water-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the quantitative water-science contribution bar, data-and-code deposition expectations, AGU 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 water-resources-research --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.
