A World Ranking of the Top 100 Hospitality and Tourism Programs

Abstract

The article provides an analysis of scholarly contributions to 11 hospitality and tourism refereed journals for the years 2002-2006. It presents the top 100 programs as ranked by instances of publications across 11 journals for a recent five-year period. For the five-year period, results indicate Hong Kong Polytechnic University in the top position based on sums of instances, authors and articles. Secondly, the researchers updated, modified and extended a previous study published by the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Research for similar information for the years 1992-2001. Following the update, an additional 15-year aggregate snapshot of research output for top producing institutions provided a top 18 over the last 15year period. Next, researchers provide an updated analysis by contribution and world region among the specific journals with results indicating a large growth in the number of articles produced in Asia going from 6% of all publications over the former 10-year period from 1992 through 2001 to near 15% of published articles over the past five-year period from 2002 through 2006. The article concludes with suggestions for the extension of similar studies and provides implications for hospitality and tourism educators.

Examining the Personal and Institutional Determinants of Research Productivity in Hospitality and Tourism Management

“…The Internet survey was disseminated via email to 693 faculty members at US institutions from the list of 100 HTM programs in the world, ranked by instances of publications across 11 journals for a 5-year period by Severt et al (2009). The list of these 42 US-based institutions is presented in Appendix A.…”

“…While there are many studies on research productivity in HTM, these tend to focus on the ranking of institutions (Severt, Tesone, Bottorff, & Carpenter, 2009) and journals (Ryan, 2005) or institutional level productivity (H. "Andy" Lee & Law, 2011). The work at the level of focuses on the impact of institutional factors (for example, Davenport et al, 2002); the role played by personal factors is largely ignored.…”

“…An understanding of the factors that impact the ability of its researchers to create and disseminate knowledge is timely, as they strive to establish its perceptual legitimacy and status in comparison to other more established fields of study within the university (Severt et al, 2009). …”

Análise de citações de periódicos científicos de turismo no Brasil: subsídios para a estimação de indicadores de impacto

“…É importante ressaltar que nenhum autor brasileiro de turismo ou instituição de ensino brasileira de turismo figura nos vários rankings internacionais já feitos por Ryan (2005), Pechlaner et al (2004), Severt et al (2009) ou Park et al (2011. Os motivos para este fato até o momento não foram investigados e pairam no campo das hipóteses, en-Santos, G.E.O.…”

Career fairs: are they valuable eventsc Hospitality and tourism recruiter perceptions of attributes towards participation and activities

“…While the study was representative of the recruiters who attended the career fairs at the universities where the study was conducted, the possibility exists for differences with other similar programs and fairs based on the type of department in which the program is housed, the university's size, location of the university, and others. However, both of the programs have been in existence for over 50 years, are ranked in the top 10 among hospitality programs (Severt et al, 2009), and hold career fairs which are heavily attended by major companies in the hospitality industry. Therefore, these programs are viewed as highly generalisable within the hospitality program university setting.…”
