Abstract

This paper reviews the hydrological modelling research trends as published in the recent years. Three-round literature review technique was used to study journal papers published that are related to the hydrological modelling. The published papers were searched by using Web of Sciences engine. The first and second round were to examine the published papers as a general perspective in a wide range of hydrological modelling through title and keywords whereas the third round was to establish 139 papers as target publications through abstract and main texts. 139 target papers were analyzed in terms of (1) journals that produced two or more target papers, (2) research origin, (3) authors, (4) research center and (5) most cited papers. The score matric was used to rank these items. The results of analysis produced (1) 6 journals target papers, (2) United states got the highest score with 27.71 score for research origin, (3) Keith Beven got the highest score 8.03 for an active researcher, (4) Lancaster University got the highest score 9.93 for research center and (5) Keith Beven and Andrew Binley had the most cited papers.
