IntroductionInformation and communication technologies are an integral part of the hospitality and tourism field. By transforming industry practices, strategies and structures, information and communication technologies have been renovating the tourism sector since the 1980s (Porter, 2001;Bulchand-Gidumal et al., 2011). In addition, new technologies have been aiding in creating new business models in the hospitality and tourism business. Consumers presently rely on online consumer-produced content while making choices and opinions about destinations, hotels and restaurants (Cobanoglu, 2010). In response to the escalating involvement and need for information and communication technologies, the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Technology (JHTT) was launched in 2010 under Prof Cihan Cobanoglu from the University of South Florida. The journal aims to bridge the space between academia and industry and explicitly provide a pedagogic platform to hospitality and tourism information technology and e-business. Currently, JHTT is among the premier sources in this domain. The journal broadly focuses on the impact of information and communication technologies on the hospitality and tourism industry covering prominent and contemporary topics such as artificial intelligence, automation and robotics, blockchain/ cryptocurrencies, chatbots, digital marketing, e-marketing, e-word of mouth, internet of things, the service-oriented architecture of business systems, smart tourism and smart destinations, technologies for sustainable hospitality and tourism and so forth.JHTT has been continuously growing since 2010 and has succeeded in achieving a higher stature as a global academic research platform. Various metrics of the scholarly world reflect the progression and repute of JHTT. Among the quantitative measures, the journal has a five-year impact factor of 4.566 (as per Clarivate Analytics). The journal articles published between 2015 and 2019 have received an average of 4.566 citations in 2020. Moreover, the CiteScore of 5 reflects that articles published between 2017 and 2020 are credited with an average of five citations in 2021. The journal is ranked "B" by the Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) Journal Quality List as a qualitative measure. It is also acknowledged by the Chartered Association of Business Schools (CABS, UK) Academic Journal Guide for its original and high-quality peer-reviewed content. It is abstracted and indexed in many databases, including Scopus and Web of Science.Acknowledging the JHTT's growth as a regarded source and the importance of information and communication technologies in hospitality and tourism as a topic, this study aims to provide a retrospection of JHTT since its inception. It is essential to study its publications and citations as a whole so that the productivity and impact of a scientific source can be understood. This article offers an insightful understanding of the authors' publication, citation, collaboration and methodological choices in JHTT. The article uses various methods to...
