“…Qualitative relational techniques such as literature reviews, meta-analyses and content analyses are common in tourism and have been used to investigate key themes (Hsu & Yeung, 2003;McKercher et al, 2006;Pechlaner et al, 2004;Schmidgall, Woods, & Hardigree, 2007;Sheldon, 1990;Zehrer, 2007) Expert panels (Ferreira, DeFranco, & Rappole, 1994, 1998 Literature reviews…”

“…The top five journals thus nominated are shown in Table 2. The results, though not in any sense capable of generalisation, do suggest a possible congruence with those of Ferreira et al (1994Ferreira et al ( , 1998. More interestingly, because the research value ranking is transparent for each of the first five positions, by applying a reverse scale (i.e.…”

“…In relatively new areas with limited and short research traditions perceived status of journals can arguably be influenced by a much wider range of variables over the, by definition, relative short term. For example, in an academic culture which is increasingly driven by encouragement to 'publish or perish', the availability of new journals (which, after all, often operate on market principles Table 1 Leading hospitality and tourism journals after Ferreira et al (1994Ferreira et al ( , 1998 …”

“…A number of studies focusing on the tourism and hospitality areas have appeared in the last dozen years or so (Weaver and McCleary, 1989; U N C O R R E C T E D P R O O F Weaver et al, 1990;Rutherford and Samenfink, 1992;Samenfink and Rutherford, 1996). Related studies have been undertaken on faculty selection and review criteria (Sheldon and Collinson, 1990;Schmidgall and Woods, 1992); trends in the authorship and content of published articles in hospitality (Chon et al, 1989;Roberts, 1998); the rating of different kinds of publications output (Schmidgall and Woods, 1993); the rating of journals in the hospitality and tourism fields (Ferreira et al, 1994(Ferreira et al, , 1998; and perceptions of the value of single, co-authored and multiple authored articles in hospitality (Woods, 1998). The 'publications counting' literature has been further extended by citation analysis of published hospitality research (Woods and Schmidgall, 1995;Howey et al, 1999).…”

This paper considers 'publications counting' literature, that literature which seeks to establish league tables of the published output of academics. Often justified on the grounds of benchmarking for supporting tenure and appointment decisions, publications counting literature is revealed to be methodologically flawed. This paper focuses on the major limitations of this kind of study, presenting a conceptual critique of existing 'publications counting' processes, and argues that the methods of such studies are neither reasonable nor consistent. This is particularly clear in areas such as the choice of journals to be sampled, the time frame established in sampling procedures, and various arithmetic procedures employed in calculating output measures. The paper concludes with discussion of possible alternative means of achieving goals of benchmarking hospitality scholarship while suggesting that publications counting should be abandoned as a sole means of determining research excellence. #

At present, the hospitality and tourism industries are largely relying on Information Technology [IT] [JHTR], as a database to analyze trends in IT research. A total of 4,031 full-length research papers have been published in these six research journals during the period 1985 to 2004. Excluding book reviews, research notes, editors' comments, readers' comments/rejoinders, and case studies, 185 entries of IT-related full-length papers were found. The number of full-length research papers had increased from 1,805 in the first studied decade (1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994) to 2,226 in the second studied decade (1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004). The number of published IT papers increased only slightly from 88 papers to 97 papers, representing a percentage decrease from 4.88% to 4.36%. While authors from the United States and the United Kingdom had contributed about 80% of all IT research papers during both decades, papers from the Asia Pacific region increased three-fold in the second decade. With intensified collaboration and the increasing complexity, difficulty, and comprehensiveness of research projects, multiple authorship has become increasingly common.
