In 2019, JHE published 91 papers throughout the year, of which only 79 were ARTICLES. The IF was 2.2 and article was very difficult to be published in this journal. ARTICLE (79); EDITORIAL MATERIAL (11); CORRECTION (1). In contrast, the water resources journal JH published 1,007 papers throughout the year, of which 972 were articles. The IF was 4.4 and article was not very difficult comparingly to be published there. If your article’s research direction is river and you could find the right reviewer on JH, it is a good choice to publish there. ARTICLE (972); REVIEW (20); EDITORIAL MATERIAL (11); CORRECTION (4).

Journals in hydrology tend to have higher impact factors than journals in hydraulics. Hydrology has several Q2 journals, like AWR, JH, HP, etc. J Hydraulic Engineering is only in Q3? I don’t like this CAS ranking. J Hydraulic Engineering is the flagship journal of ASCE. Although it is not as good as JGR, it shouldn’t be in Q3. As far as I know, this journal is viewed highly by the water and sediment field in United States and by the hydraulic field in several universities in China such as Tsinghua University, Sichuan University, and Zhejiang University.

Direction of bridge pier erosion, traditional topic innovation difficulties, and the submission process was quite challenging.

2022
6/4 Submission.
9/1 First revision. Three reviewers: 1# had no specific comments, focused on selecting the wrong article type; 2# Accept as is; 3# Suggested acceptance with dozens of specific comments.
11/15 Submitted after the first revision.

2023
1/10 Second revision. Added reviewer 4#, 1# suggested accepting as Technical Editor (TE); 3# suggested acceptance; 4# suggested accepting after proofreading with 12 specific comments, with 12#'s comments being the key focus of the second revision.
2/22 Submitted after the second revision.
3/13 Minor revision after the third review. Reviewer 4# suggested accepting as TE, but comments from 12# still needed clarification, and provided modification suggestions.
3/31 Submitted after the third revision.
4/20 Fourth revision for editor only. Reviewer 4# approved the previous modifications and suggested providing explanations in the discussion and conclusion sections for the corresponding issues.
4/25 Submitted after the fourth revision.
4/30 Accept (final).
5/31 Formatting review comments.
6/2 Submitted after formatting review.

Looking back now, if Technical Editor (TE) was selected instead of Technical Paper (TP) from the initial submission, it might have been smoother. So, I would like to remind everyone that choosing the correct article type is still very important.

The article focuses on river restoration projects. After discussions with collaborators in North America, it was decided to submit the article to the Journal of Hydraulic Engineering (JHE), which specializes in engineering fields, rather than a journal with higher impact factors in areas such as geomorphology and water resources. The aim is to have the methods seen and practiced by the engineering community. Since the article is quite long, communication with the editors is necessary before submission. Based on the communication, both the editor-in-chief and the associate editor (who is also an associate editor of Water Resources Research) seem to be of the same caliber as Water Resources Research. It is unknown if JHE can match its influence, but the review process is estimated to be slower. The first review takes three months with a six-week revision time. After the revisions, the second review takes two months. It is mentioned that external reviews will not be sought after the revisions and the decision will solely rely on the editor's opinion. It took almost three months to receive an acceptance notification after the revisions. JHE is well-known in the water industry, but its speed is not commendable. Therefore, only shorter applied articles will be considered for submission to JHE.

It’s really ridiculous to leave a message downstairs. The factor of 2.08 can be quite good in the three districts of the region.Although there are not many good journals in the water conservancy, they will not be able to go to the second district when they arrive at 2, and they will be ignorant.......PS: Water conservancy text is a mouth, downstairs to make up the partition try

The partition of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is really...In addition to the hydrology, there are 2 district journals?ASCE's flagship journals have been divided into three districts. This journal is still very difficult. The influence is very big.

This journal is definitely the first brand in the field of hydraulics and sediment research.The division of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is misleading!!Many scholars have been killed.

ASCE The old-fashioned journals, the most powerful of the water conservancy projects should be it.It is very difficult.In addition, one sentence, stupidly forced the Chinese Academy of Sciences division.

The first manuscript took 11 months from the time of receiving it, and it was felt that its review was inefficient.However, the journal is still well-recognized, and the second one was submitted on it.The second part of the first trial for 6 months, the editor gave a major repair, spent a month and a half to repair, the second trial has not been given results for nearly 6 months, mad.The review of this journal is too inefficient and needs to be improved.Although review is a voluntary labor, it can be very unfair to the author.In general, the second post has been unsuccessful for more than a year now.
