ISH Journal of Hydraulic Engineering publishes original research works in the areas of hydraulic engineering, water resources, hydrology, environmental engineering, coastal and ocean engineering, oceanography and earth sciences. Theoretical, experimental, computational or field oriented studies leading to advancement of knowledge in these areas are especially welcome. Submissions must report the development of a new technology or an innovative application of an existing one; this could be a new discovery or insight into the existing understanding of a phenomenon. Case studies leading to significantly new knowledge or understanding are also encouraged.
Peer Review Statement
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to single anonymized peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. Submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.
Citation Metrics
Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles published in the
journal within a two-year window. Only journals in the Clarivate Science
Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI),
Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources
Citation Index (ESCI) have an Impact Factor.
Impact Factor Best Quartile*:
the journal’s highest subject category ranking in the Journal Citation
Reports. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest Impact Factors.
5 Year Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal
within a five-year window.
CiteScore (Scopus)†:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over
a four-year period.
CiteScore Best Quartile†:
the journal’s highest CiteScore ranking in a Scopus subject category. Q1
= 25% of journals with the highest CiteScores.
SNIP
(Source Normalized Impact per Paper):
the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation
potential in the field.
SJR
(Scimago Journal Rank):
Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the
number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
From submission to first decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a
first decision in the last six months.
From submission to first post-review decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision if it is sent out for peer review.
Based on manuscripts receiving a post-review first decision in the last
six months.
From acceptance to online publication:
the average (median) number of days from acceptance of a manuscript to
online publication of the Version of Record. Based on articles published
in the last six months.
Acceptance rate:
articles accepted for publication by the journal in the previous
calendar year as percentage of all papers receiving a final decision.

The Indian Society for Hydraulics ( ISH) was established in 1992 as a forum for Indian national investment on development related to water, energy, transportation and allied fields in the country, and considering the important role of the hydraulic research in maximizing the output from these investment. ISH is a technical, educational and non-profiteering voluntary national organization to encourage and foster understanding amongst engineers, scientists and other technical personnel engaged in various activities related to hydraulics. Official address of the ISH is Central Water and Power Research Station, Khadakwasla, Pune-411024, India.
ISH's objectives are to:
provide forum to engineers and scientists working in area of hydraulics and allied disciplines, including research, design and construction for exchange of information
disseminate information to persons in the field of hydraulics through seminars / symposiums / workshops
hold annual meetings of the society where the technical papers could be presented as also to hold smaller zonal meetings to provide a forum for regional needs
publish journal of hydraulic engineering and news letter containing research / review papers, notes, etc
liaise with various international societies working in the field of Hydraulics, such as International Association of Hydraulic Research, the International Conference on Coastal Engineering and the Conference of Port and Coastal Engineering in Developing Countries
accord recognition to outstanding workers in hydraulics, through suitable awards
