The universe of Open Science is expanding with many scientific disciplines, organizations and policymakers committing to openness, accessibility, transparency and reproducibility. The paper “A Hydrologist’s Guide to Open Science” (Hall et al., 2022) introduces four Open Hydrology Principles and provides a practical guide to empower hydrologists across the globe as they transition to open, accessible, reusable, and reproducible research in their academic work and beyond. In this poster, we will focus on the fourth principle of Hall et al. (2022), Open Publishing, which should build on the other three principles (1. Open Research Process and Approach, 2. Open Data, 3. Open Software Development and Use). We will present current Open Science policies of major hydrology journals based on the following five criteria: a) open-access model, b) publication finance policy, c) preprint policy, d) release requirements for data, code and software, and e) peer-review procedure. This overview can serve as a guideline for researchers that are in search of journals aligning with their Open Science perspectives. Additionally, we hope to kick off a broader discussion about the hydrologic publishing landscape and how it can evolve to foster Open Science.
