Journal of Sediment Research, founded in Beijing in January 1956, is a national periodical with public circulation, which is a basic research academic journal (bimonthly) supervised by China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by China Water Resources Association, and edited and published by Sediment Committee. The journal is a national Chinese core journal, Chinese science and technology core journals, is China's water conservancy industry founded earlier, sediment professional influence of the largest Chinese academic journals, in the international arena has an important impact.
The aim of Journal of Sediment Research is to publish academic papers and scientific research results on sediment and related aspects, exchange technical experience, carry out academic discussions, report academic dynamics, so that the scientific research results on sediment and the experience gained in engineering practice can be exchanged and promoted, using the needs of the development of engineering construction.
Journal of Sediment Research publishes academic papers, thematic reviews and summaries of engineering technology in the field of sedimentation, and the main professional scope includes: basic theory of sediment movement, river dynamics, riverbed evolution, river geomorphology; watershed sand production, soil and water conservation, water and sand changes, sediment configuration and use; reservoir sediment, river and waterway improvement, estuary, harbour and coastal sediment Sedimentation of reservoirs, river and channel regulation, estuarine, harbour and coastal sedimentation; sedimentation of hubs and power stations, sedimentation of drainage systems, environmental sedimentation, mudflow and wind-sand, pipeline solids conveyance, and sand control of industrial water abstraction; sediment mathematical modeling technology, sediment solid modeling technology, and sediment testing instrumentation and technology.
Journal of Sediment Research is one of the ‘Chinese Core Journals’, ‘Chinese Science and Technology Core Journals’ and ‘RCCSE Chinese Core Academic Journals (A)’. Journal of Sediment Research is selected as ‘Chinese Core Journal’, ‘Chinese Core Journal of Science and Technology’ and ‘RCCSE Chinese Core Academic Journal (A)’ by China Association for Science and Technology (CAST), selected by Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAST) Literature Intelligence Centre (LIC) and selected by Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCDB), selected by China Academy of Science and Technology (CAST) Information Institute (CASTII) and designated as ‘Source Journal of Chinese Science and Technology Papers Statistics of National Science and Technology Commission (NSTC)’. It has also been included in Tsinghua University's ‘Chinese Academic Journals (CD-ROM Edition)’, and included in ‘China Academic Journals Comprehensive Evaluation Database’, ‘China Periodicals Full Text Database’, ‘China Science and Technology Periodicals Database’, ‘China Science Citation Database’, and other important periodicals databases.
