SummaryResearch in Water Resources is increasing 27% above average research growth, with China leading in research output.
The field is increasingly multidisciplinary which makes it challenging to comprehend by simply looking at the research output in journal categories.
Technological solutions help us understand the field, where it is moving and where we might want to offer incentives to drive it.
