Canadian Water Resources Journal / Revue canadienne des ressources hydriques

The Canadian Water Resources Journal is published for the Canadian Water Resources Association by Taylor & Francis, it prints abstracts in both official languages, and its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 2.4.《加拿大水资源杂志》由 Taylor & Francis 为加拿大水资源协会出版，摘要用英法两种官方语言，2025 年期刊影响因子 2.4。

The first issue came out in the fall of 1976, volumes are numbered one a year from there, and volume 51 covers 2026 as things stand.首期 1976 年秋问世，此后每年一卷，第 51 卷对应 2026 年。

Scope

• Groundwater is a regular subject here, running from aquifer suitability for heat pump systems to permits, contamination and the place groundwater holds in Canada's national monitoring programmes.地下水是这里的常规题目，从热泵系统的含水层适宜性，到取水许可与污染，再到地下水在加拿大全国监测体系里的位置。

• Water quality work covers algal composition, microcystin occurrence, phosphorus loads and stormwater, often with twenty-year records that let land use and climate be separated from one another.水质方面的稿子涉及藻类组成、微囊藻毒素的出现、磷负荷与雨洪，常带二十年尺度的记录，能把土地利用和气候各自的影响分开。

• Flooding takes a policy turn as well as a hydrological one, with municipal financial contribution examined as an incentive for risk reduction at the municipal level.洪水既有水文学的一面，也有政策的一面，市政出钱的份额被当作降低风险的激励来考察。

• Hydrological modelling appears in many forms, from lumped models built for teaching purposes to downscaled climate simulations and ensemble streamflow forecasting for reservoir operators across the country.水文模型以多种形态出现，从为教学搭的集总式模型，到降尺度气候模拟，再到面向全国水库调度者的径流集合预报。

• Snow and frozen ground get attention too, with snow water equivalent assessed over the Mackenzie basin and permafrost dynamics folded into water balance studies in northern catchments.积雪与冻土也有人做，马更些河流域的雪水当量被评估，冻土动态被并进北方流域的水量平衡研究。

• Lakes and rivers are monitored over long periods, and the resulting records support work on thermal regimes, environmental DNA and algal shifts measured across several decades and sites.湖泊与河流做长时段监测，由此形成的记录支撑热状况、环境 DNA 与藻类变化的研究，时间跨几十年，点位也不止一处。

• Water policy and governance are treated as research subjects in their own right, from water sharing in southern Alberta to Ontario permit data and the water commons.水政策与治理本身就被当作研究题目，从南艾伯塔的分水，到安大略许可数据的整理，再到把水当作共有资源来讨论。

• Indigenous rights and community monitoring enter the pages, with rights-based monitoring triggers and treatment devices tested on the ground with First Nations communities in Ontario.原住民权利与社区监测进入版面，以权利为依据的监测触发条件，以及与安大略原住民社区实地试验的处理装置都在其中。

• Economics and valuation appear alongside the science, from property-value meta-analysis to the water-energy-food nexus and long-term supply and demand projections built for an irrigation district.经济与估值研究与自然科学并列，从房价元分析，到水与能源粮食的关联，再到为某个灌区做的长期供需预测。

• Aquatic habitat questions are read through temperature, from thermal refuge zones in Atlantic salmon rivers in Quebec to river classification by thermal regime alone.水生栖息地的问题透过温度来看，魁北克大西洋鲑河流里的避热区，以及仅按热状况给河流分类的做法都在其中。

• National programmes and cross-country assessments are documented here, including the Global Water Futures programme and proposals for a national water quality model for Canada.全国性计划与跨区域评估在此留有记录，全球水未来计划在内，为加拿大建立全国水质模型的设想也在讨论。

• Preference is given to manuscripts on information and policy aspects of Canadian water management, which is a stated rule rather than a habit of the editors.加拿大水资源管理的信息与政策方面优先，这是写明在册的规则，不是编辑的习惯做法。

• Manuscripts may be written in English or French, and abstracts are published in both official languages, whichever language the paper uses, so a French paper still reaches English readers.稿件可用英文或法文撰写，摘要一律以两种官方语言刊出，法文稿子因此也能到英文读者手里。

• Practitioners and policy people are part of the intended audience, since the stated aim is to stimulate public awareness of Canada's water resources and their limits.从业者与政策圈也是目标读者，宗旨写明要唤起公众对加拿大水资源及其限度的认识。

History

• The journal was first published in the fall of 1976, which the association's own description of the title still records on the page it keeps for publications.刊物 1976 年秋首次出版，协会自己在出版物页面上至今仍这样记载。

• Volume numbers run from that first year, so volume 43 belongs to 2018 and volume 51 to 2026, one volume for each calendar year without a break.卷号从创刊那年排下来，第 43 卷属 2018 年，第 51 卷属 2026 年，一个公历年一卷，中间没有断。

• The publisher line is Taylor & Francis acting for the Canadian Water Resources Association, and the journal is the association's main scholarly publication in water resources.版权页上的出版方是代加拿大水资源协会行事的 Taylor & Francis，刊物是该协会在水资源领域的主要学术出版物。

• Four issues a year is the standing pattern, with occasional combined numbers such as 1-2 in volume 46 and 2-3 in volume 47 of the current run.一年四期是定式，偶尔出合刊，本轮里第 46 卷有 1-2 期合号，第 47 卷有 2-3 期合号。

• The paper count sat between 26 and 30 for most of the last decade, with a dip to 15 in 2021 and 13 in 2022 before it recovered.近十年多数年份的篇数落在 26 到 30 之间，2021 年掉到 15 篇，2022 年掉到 13 篇，之后回升。

• Volumes 48 and 49 each carried 30 papers, and the second of them holds items dated 2023 and 2024 together, which is how the record is filed.第 48 卷与第 49 卷各收 30 篇，后者把署 2023 年与 2024 年的条目放在一起，记录就是这么归档的。

• Volume 50 for 2025 carried 20 papers and volume 51 had 15 across three issues when the record was read for this entry, with a fourth issue still to come.2025 年第 50 卷收 20 篇，第 51 卷在读取记录时三期共 15 篇，第四期还没出。

• The Journal Impact Factor went 2.0 for 2022, 1.7 for 2023, 0.9 for 2024 and 2.4 for 2025, so the drop and the recovery are both in the record.影响因子 2022 年为 2.0，2023 年为 1.7，2024 年落到 0.9，2025 年回到 2.4，一跌一升都记在案上。

• It is third quartile in water resources at 79 of 132 titles, on the 40.5th percentile, and the edition it is measured in is the Science Citation Index Expanded.水资源类里它排第三区，132 种刊中列 79，百分位 40.5，计量所在科学引文索引扩展版。

• The 2025 release records 887 citations and 22 citable items, with a Journal Citation Indicator of 0.37 and a five-year impact figure of 2.3 for the same year.2025 年版记下总被引 887 次、可引条目 22 篇，同年的期刊引文指标为 0.37，五年影响因子 2.3。

• Only 4.48 per cent of recent articles are gold open access, so the subscription route carries almost all of the content that the journal publishes.近年只有 4.48% 的文章是金色开放获取，刊物发表的内容几乎都走订阅路径。

• There is no National Library of Medicine record for the title, and no PubMed or MEDLINE entry follows from it at all, because the journal sits outside biomedicine.国家医学图书馆没有这本刊的记录，PubMed 与 MEDLINE 里也就查不到，它本来就在生物医学之外。

• Taylor & Francis carries the full back file, and the association's members receive the journal as part of membership rather than through a separate subscription of their own.完整存档由 Taylor & Francis 承载，协会会员交会费就含刊物，不必另订。

Editors

• The editor speaks inside the journal itself, since a 2025 item carries the plain title Editor's note and speaks directly to readers about its published record.编辑的声音直接出现在刊物里，2025 年就有一条标题只写编者按的条目，面向读者谈已发表的内容。

• Every paper is reviewed by at least two qualified referees before it can be accepted, a rule the association states in plain terms on the page describing the journal.每篇论文录用前至少经两位合格评审，这条规则协会在介绍刊物的页面上写得明白。

• Manuscripts are accepted in English or French, so a Quebec author may submit in French and be reviewed in the same editorial system as anyone else.稿件可用英文或法文投，魁北克作者用法文投稿，走的编辑流程和别人一样。

• Abstracts are published in both official languages, which means a French-language paper still carries an English abstract that indexers and readers can use without translation.摘要以两种官方语言刊出，法文论文同样带英文摘要，索引编制者与读者都不必自己译。

• Three manuscript classes are recognised, research papers, application papers and invited papers, and the third of these is commissioned rather than submitted through the usual channel.稿件分三类，研究论文、应用论文与特约论文，第三类由编辑部约稿，不走常规投稿渠道。

• Invited papers are meant for topics of special interest, which gives the editor a way to open a subject the journal has not covered before at all.特约论文针对特别值得关注的题目，编辑因此能开一个刊物此前完全没有碰过的方向。

• Preference goes to manuscripts on the information and policy aspects of Canadian water management, and that preference is written into the description of the journal itself.加拿大水资源管理的信息与政策层面优先，这条偏好直接写在刊物的自我说明里。

• Papers from outside Canada are still welcome, provided the discussion turns to what the experience means for Canadian water management in practice at home.加拿大以外的稿子也收，前提是讨论要落到这些经验对本国水资源管理实践意味着什么。

• The association publishes instructions for authors and a separate editorial policy, so the rules that govern the journal are published outside the pages of any single issue and updated separately.协会另出作者须知与独立的编辑政策，管刊物的规则因此不藏在某一期里，而是单独更新。

• Membership of the association includes the journal, since the site tells members the printed title arrives in the mail rather than behind a separate paywall online for them.协会会员资格里含刊物，网站告诉会员纸质本会寄到信箱，不必再越过一道付费墙。

• Production and hosting sit with Taylor & Francis, which runs the online platform where the current issue and the back file are read, searched and cited.制作与托管在 Taylor & Francis 一侧，现刊与存档都在其平台上被阅读、检索和引用。
