“…Arendt, Ravichandran, and Brown (2007) indicated that there were 57 tourism and hospitality related journals. Several academics suggest there are more than 100 (Ma & Law, 2009;McKercher, Law, & Lam, 2006). Nevertheless, a standard list of ranked tourism journals accepted by all universities and researchers does not exist (Law, 2010;McKercher et al, 2006).…”

Nevertheless, a standard list of ranked tourism journals accepted by all universities and researchers does not exist (Law, 2010;McKercher et al, 2006). More recently, ever since several hospitality, leisure, sports, and tourism related journals were included in the Thomson Reuters Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), impact factors have also been used to evaluate journals.…”

ABSTRACT. Over the past two decades, there has been an increasing focus on the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), as well as the impact that they have had on the tourism industry and on travelers' behaviors. However, research on what drives consumers to purchase travel online has typically been fragmented. In order to better understand consumers' behavior toward online travel purchasing, this article offers a review of articles that were published in leading tourism and hospitality journals, the ENTER proceedings, and several articles from other peer-reviewed journals, found on the main academic search databases. The antecedents of online travel shopping found are classified into three main categories: Consumer Characteristics, Perceived Channel Characteristics, and Website and Product Characteristics. Finally, this study identifies several gaps and provides some orientation for future research.

“…From the analysis it is clear that the survey/questionnaire is the predominant research method employed in event-based studies, with the eventspecific journals employing the method 82 times of synergetic nature of sports, tourism, and events, but also because the journal was the only sportsbased journal that was ranked by the McKercher, Law, and Lam (2006) study.…”

In reviewing 165 of the most prominent event articles, this article provides a timely evaluation of prevalent research methods that have shaped event research in the past 16 years. We adopt critical case sampling and citation analysis approaches to identify 21 journals and the 165 articles. We subsequently analyzed the content of each article to reveal the method(s) used and classified these by journal and by year. To facilitate discussion about the findings, the article initially appraises the character of the event phenomenon and the implications of this for methods selection. This discussion portrays a largely social and contingent character to events that presents specific requirements to researchers seeking to interrogate it. The discussion pinpoints key considerations that should shape event researchers' decisions about their selection of methods. The findings reveal a preponderance of survey-based approaches and also very limited adoption of multiple methods. The findings also indicate a less prominent, but growing, application of subjectivist-oriented approaches, such as interviews, indicating a progressive trend that is discussed as being more favorable to the character of the subject matter. Ultimately we provide six precepts that emerge from this study, to signpost key considerations for event researchers as our discipline moves beyond the early stages of its development toward a more mature phase.

“…Analysis of the tourism sector research itself has not been an issue specifically addressed in the scientific literature, as from the beginning it was very clear that scientific journals on tourism were clearly organized in a hierarchical fashion by users based on knowledge criteria and perceived quality (McKercher, Law, & Lam, 2006). Beyond studies such as these, only a few authors have taken on the task of meta-analysis of scientific research.…”

La utilidad del análisis de redes sociales en las publicaciones académicas: un estudio de las revistas de turismo del primer cuartil Antonio Peláez-VerdetUniversidad de Málaga, Facultad de Turismo, C/ Leon Tolstoi, 4, Despacho 12, 29071, Málaga, Spain, apv@uma.es Manuel Ferrera-BlascoUniversidad de Málaga, Facultad de Turismo, C/ Leon Tolstoi, 4, Despacho 12, 29071, Málaga, Spain, manuelferrera@uma.es AbstractThe introduction of social network techniques in scholarly research analysis has driven a better understanding of the main authors and their debates. These tools have improved the traditional bibliographic models considerably. The present analysis applied the centrality indicators from social network analysis to first-tier journal articles (index: Journal Citation Reports (SSE)). The results revealed that journal specialization within the tourism theme is consistently in line with their editorial line, with minor issues detected. When it comes to academic debate, however, the topics are not concentrated homogenously. The authors at the center of the debate are not always the most prolific, yet it turns out that co-authoring helps them to gain central positions within the debate.Keywords: Social media, tourism, first-tier journals, author networks, literature review. ResumenEn el análisis de la literatura científica, los principales autores y sus debates han podido analizarse mejor desde que se han importado las técnicas de análisis de redes sociales, que mejoran las herramientas de bibliometría tradicionales. Este análisis ha aplicado los indicadores de centralidad del análisis de redes sociales a los artículos de investigación publicados en revistas de turismo de primer cuartil del Journal Citation Reports (SSE). Los resultados revelan que la especialización de las revistas, aún dentro de la temática del turismo, responde a sus líneas editoriales con algunos matices, aunque las inclinaciones en cuanto al análisis de las materias turísticas no se distribuyen de manera tan homogénea. Los autores que ocupan el centro del debate académico no siempre coinciden con los más prolíficos, aunque podría decirse que la coautoría ayuda a los autores a posicionarse en el centro de la discusión.Palabras clave: Redes sociales, turismo, revistas de primer cuartil, redes de autores, revisión de la literatura.
