Life on earth is impossible without water, but increasing materialism day by day has given rise to various types of serious problems related to water, whom study and search for solutions is the basic responsibility of hydrologists and researchers. Researchers usually publish their research output in research journals or present it in scientific seminars. From the point of view of use, the information sources that publish research output can be of two types, closed access or open access.In this article, an attempt has been made to assess open access research articles from various aspects in ten years from 2012 to 2021, for which data has been taken from the database of Web of Science. A broad searchable term 'Water Research' has been used for data mining. The search results have been presented through tables and figures.
