As the year draws to a close, the Hydrogeology Journal (HJ) team reflects on the ~150 articles that have successfully negotiated the peer-review process and been published in the 2023 issues. We focus on the technical content, its relevance today, and the accessibility of that science to target audiences. Some of the articles form a part of special issues or topical collections, and some are selected as Editors’ Choice by virtue of their outstanding contribution to the hydrogeological disciplines. We are supported well by our publisher, Springer Nature, who carries the manuscript through copyediting, presentation and copyright procedures, and sometimes grants articles a ‘free access’ period if they are not open access. These actions help to promote HJ’s metrics, such as the impact factor and other journal citation and ranking scores, which, in turn, give authors confidence in selecting HJ for future publications. HJ being the official journal of IAH, the IAH Secretariat then joins in with social media activity to promote groups of articles and encourages worldwide dissemination of the science.
And what about the authors themselves? Some authors are familiar with the whole process and some have never published before. Some authors have all the tools necessary to perform well during the review, and others struggle with the English or graphics software, or even with the expectations of the editors of a high-quality international journal. Having nurtured and modified their manuscript for (often) months, for all authors it is a relief to finally see their work published. The HJ team and IAH congratulate all authors, and we thank them all for their efforts to achieve the common goal.
Authors do not have to be IAH members to submit their manuscripts to HJ, and the majority of authors (~75%) are not. Of course, the HJ peer-review process does not distinguish IAH members from non-members. But at IAH, we like to give something extra, so we have drawn up a list of ‘IAH-member articles’ published in the 2023 issues. Eligibility, here, is currently defined as both the first author and corresponding author being IAH members during the manuscript review process. By appearing on this list, each IAH-member article will receive a boost to its Altmetric attention score, which provides the article with an indicator of its “influence”, i.e., a metric of its use in digital conversations.
Altmetric and Springer teamed up several years ago to enable articles to be credited in this way. By downloading the Altmetric bookmarklet to your device (https://www.altmetric.com/solutions/free-tools/bookmarklet/), you will be able to view the Altmetric badge (or ‘donut’) for any HJ article. Further information can be found at: https://www.springer.com/gp/about-springer/media/press-releases/corporate/springer-now-sharing-data-from-altmetric-on-springerlink/23770. To make good use of this facility, the IAH website’s News RSS feed will now be scanned by Altmetric for published article DOIs (digital object identifiers), as well as DOI mentions in other sources such as Facebook, X, news outlets, public policy sites, blogs, Wikipedia, and YouTube. Note, it can take a day or two for the Altmetric score to be updated after the online mention.
Feedback or queries about this new member benefit (especially any articles somehow missing from the list) would be most welcome – please contact the Secretariat at info@iah.org.
Here are the articles published in 2023 by IAH-member authors; these will receive the new ‘Altmetric attention score’ benefit.
