About the journal
Hydrogeology Journal was founded in 1992 to foster understanding of hydrogeology; to describe worldwide progress in hydrogeology; and to provide an accessible forum for scientists, researchers, engineers, and practitioners in developing and industrialized countries.
Since then, the journal has earned a large worldwide readership. Its peer-reviewed research articles integrate subsurface hydrology and geology with supporting disciplines: geochemistry, geophysics, geomorphology, geobiology, surface-water hydrology, tectonics, numerical modeling, economics, and sociology.
Articles explore theoretical and applied aspects of hydrogeologic science, including studies ranging from local areas and short time periods to global problems and geologic time; innovative instrumentation; water-resource and mineral-resource evaluations; overviews of hydrogeologic systems of interest in various regions, and more.

Instructions to Authors
Hydrogeology Journal
Manuscript submission
- Legal requirements
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it (in its entirety or any major part) is not under consideration for publication anywhere else, nor will it be submitted for consideration of publication anywhere else until a final publication decision concerning this manuscript has been made by the Editors of Hydrogeology Journal; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities - tacitly or explicitly - at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
- Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their manuscripts. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
If the published material was created by the author and published in another Springer journal, the author does not need to seek permission to republish in Hydrogeology Journal. However, if the published material was created by somebody else (whether published by Springer or any other publisher), permission must be sought to republish in Hydrogeology Journal.
Permission may be granted by the owner of copyright (mostly it is the publisher not the original author), usually in the form of a letter or email. Publishers sometimes require specific wording in the appropriate part of the text, for example, "Figure 2. Map of study area (Smith 2007, with permission from [name of publisher/copyrightholder])". Furthermore, publishers usually grant permission only for a single publication, so permission to republish should be sought on each occasion.
It is the original publisher that needs to be contacted, not all subsequent publishers of the material in question.
- How to submit
Authors must submit their manuscripts online. Electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing times and shortens overall publication times. Please connect directly to the site:
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/hydrogeology
and upload all of your manuscript files following the on-screen instructions.
The maximum file size is 60 MB.

Article types
Hydrogeology Journal’s scope includes contributions on any aspect of scientific hydrogeology and related disciplines from authors in any part of the world. An article based on supporting disciplines is acceptable if its main emphasis is hydrogeology – the study of the interaction of subsurface water with the solid earth. Articles are classified into one of the following categories for publication:
- Paper: An article concerning new scientific results of general interest; an article that applies innovative techniques to evaluate the hydrogeology of an area;
- Report: A review or overview on a specific topic; an article that applies conventional techniques to evaluate the hydrogeology of an area; an article that gives a description of the hydrogeology of an area;
- Technical Note: A short article that describes innovative techniques of data collection or analysis;
- Essay: A very short article giving the author’s view on a technical or philosophical subject related to hydrogeology. Length may be no more than four journal pages; please see special instructions for Essays at the end of these instructions.
- Profile: A biographical sketch of an eminent hydrogeologist, describing his or her contributions to the science;
- Publication Note: A short description or review of a new or little-known but significant publication; and
- Comment and Reply: A discussion related to an article published in the journal.
Article type is not an indication of the quality of an article. All article types have equally high citation scores and are equally highly valued by readers. For organizational purposes, article type is indicated in each issue’s Table of Contents and in Online Contents, while the article itself (in online, printed and reprint versions) does not include an indication of type in the article information. The published article type for unclear cases, most often for Papers and Reports, is selected by the Editor.
Manuscript processing
Scientific-Technical Reviews
Upon initial receipt of a manuscript, an Editor will make a preliminary judgment of acceptability for publication in Hydrogeology Journal. All promising articles then undergo two or more independent scientific-technical reviews; this process is overseen by an Associate Editor and completed reviews are returned to the Editor with the Associate Editor’s recommendation. The Editor then makes a publication decision and will return the reviewers’ and Associate Editor’s comments to the author, with the publication decision. The decision categories are “accept,” “accept following minor revisions,” “accept following major revisions,” and “not accept.” This process may take about four months.
After Technical Review
For all categories except “not accept,” the author must consider review comments, revise the manuscript accordingly, and submit the revised version online. Any discussion or disagreement of the author with review comments or questions about required revisions may be sent by e-mail to the Editor. Another required part of the resubmittal is a complete list of author responses to each review comment made by reviewers, Associate Editor and Editor.
Please note: an article is considered to be withdrawn if a revised version is not submitted or the author does not otherwise respond within 4 months.
Editing for Scientific Expression, Language and Format
Following receipt of an “accept” decision from the Editor, the manuscript passes to Hydrogeology Journal’s Technical Editorial Advisor. The Technical Editorial Advisor undertakes or supervises a review of scientific expression, language and conformance to journal format and will correspond with the author concerning any required changes. Only editorial changes are made at this stage; authors may not make revisions that alter the technical arguments or data presented in the manuscript. Following acceptable revisions, the Technical Editorial Advisor issues a “final accept” decision and the manuscript is forwarded to the publisher, Springer. At this point, the manuscript is issued with a digital object identifier (DOI) and it can be cited, although it is, as yet, unpublished.
All text, including text contained in illustrations, is published in English and authors should submit English-language manuscripts. However, an author should not hesitate to submit an English-language manuscript simply because the writer is not fluent in English. Technical reviewers are instructed to consider the technical content and organization of such manuscripts, rather than language. The Technical Editorial Advisor and Springer copy editors will edit the English of an accepted manuscript in order to improve the clarity of writing.
Manuscript preparation
Form and content of the manuscript of the accepted article should be carefully checked to exclude the need for later corrections.
- Title page
The title page should include:
- The name(s) of the author(s)
- A concise and informative title
- The affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s)
- The e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author
– Abstract
Please provide an English abstract of maximum 200 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references. It should contain a statement of the problem, objectives, methods, results, and conclusions. The title and abstract will be translated into French and Spanish, as a minimum, by hydrogeologists appointed by the editorial team. Translation to approximately 30 other languages is possible. The author/translator certifies that the translation faithfully represents the official version in English, which is the published title/abstract of record and is the only title/abstract to be used for reference and citation.
– Keywords
Please provide up to five keywords. The author may create new keywords, if needed, but should select at least two from the standard list at the end of these instructions. Include the name of a country or multi-country region, if appropriate.
– Main Body of Text
The main text should include a number of sections, for example: The Introduction states the purpose of the investigation and gives a short review of the pertinent literature. The Material and methods section provides enough information to permit repetition of experimental work. The Results section describes the outcome of the study. Data should be presented as concisely as possible, for example in the form of tables or figures. The Discussion gives an interpretation of the results and their significance, with reference to work by other authors.
- Text
– Text formatting
For submission in Word
• The text must be double spaced, single column, with at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) margins all around.
• Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 10-point Times Roman) for text.
• Use italics for emphasis. Do not underline.
• Use the automatic page numbering and line numbering functions.
• Do not use field functions.
• Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar.
• Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables.
• Use the equation editor or MathType for equations (English versions)
Note: If you use Word 2007, it is preferable that you do not create the equations with the default equation editor as this may cause errors in your publication. If possible, use Word 2003 or MathType instead.
• Save your file in doc or rtf formats. Do not submit docx files.
– Heading levels, numbering
Please use the decimal system of headings with no more than three levels.
– Journal style
• Do not use the first person (I/my, we/our etc.)
• Standard International (SI) or metric units should be used. If English units are required, follow them with equivalent SI units in parenthesis.
• Use ‘groundwater’ (one word) and ‘hydrogeology’ (rather than geohydrology).
– Abbreviations and acronyms
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.
– Equations
Please use the standard mathematical notation for formulae, symbols etc.:
• Italic for single letters that denote mathematical constants, variables, and unknown quantities
• Roman/upright for numerals, operators, and punctuation, and commonly defined functions or abbreviations, e.g., cos, det, e or exp, lim, log, max, min, sin, tan, d (for derivative)
• Bold for vectors, tensors, and matrices.
• Multiplication should not be represented with an asterisk. Alternatives include: A x B, AB or A B, (A)(B) or A • B.
– Footnotes
Footnotes on the title page are not given reference symbols. Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data).
- Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the reference list. The names of funding organizations should be written in full. Authors must disclose any commercial or other associations that might pose a conflict of interest in connection with the submitted material. It is appropriate to acknowledge oral communications and the contributions of reviewers and editors.
- References
The list of References should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. (Give: “name, affiliation, personal communication (or unpublished data), year” in parenthesis.) Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.
– Citation in text
Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Some examples:
• Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson 1990).
• This result was later contradicted (Becker and Seligman 1996).
• This effect has been widely studied (Abbott 1991; Barakat et al. 1995; Kelso and Smith 1998; Medvec et al. 1993).
– List style
Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work.

After acceptance by the publisher
During the production phase the following issues have to be clarified:
- Copyright transfer
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.
- Offprints/Reprints
25 offprints of each contribution are supplied free of charge to the corresponding author.
One complimentary copy of the printed issue is supplied to the corresponding author.
- Color
Use the general Artwork Guidelines (follow the hyperlink). Inclusion of color figures in both online and printed versions of your article is free of cost.
- Online First
The article will be published online after receipt of the corrected proofs. This is the official first publication citable with the DOI. At a later stage, articles will be selected for a Hydrogeology Journal volume, which will be released online and in print. After release of the volume, the article can also be cited by issue and page numbers.
- Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. In such a case please contact the Technical Editorial Advisor, Mrs. Sue Duncan (e-mail: sduncan@iah.org)
After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article

Special instructions for Essays
An essay is a type of article that concisely presents information. Essays must fit exactly into whole pages of the journal, with a maximum of four pages. Essays do not have an abstract. It is the author’s responsibility to ensure that the manuscript will fit into the journal format, following the guidelines below.
If there are no figures, tables or internal headings, a four-page essay will occupy approximately 24,700 characters with spaces (approximately 4,100 six-letter words). If there are internal headings or a long title, these numbers will be reduced and the author must judge the likely reduction necessary.
If the essay contains figures or tables, the number of characters (or words) that would be replaced by these figures/tables must be calculated. It is important to first ensure that the labels/text within each figure/table are adequately sized (and still capable of being read after 30% size reduction).
The caption or title must be regarded as part of the figure/table.
Then, the following estimates can be subtracted from the total character/word count:
• A whole page figure/table replaces approx. 6700 characters (1100 words)
• A full width, half page height figure/table replaces approx. 3400 characters (570 words)
• A full width, quarter page height figure/table replaces approx. 1700 characters (280 words)
• A half width, half page height figure/table replaces 1700 characters (280 words)
• A half width, quarter page height figure/table replaces approx. 850 characters (140 words).
If the character or word count within the manuscript does not match the estimate for a four-page essay, the text will need to be either expanded or cut, or the selection of figures/tables revisited.
The author must arrive at a reasonably good match before submitting the manuscript for review.
The author should maintain the proper manuscript length during the review/revision process. If the essay is too long after acceptance, it will have to be cut to four pages prior to publication.
