“…Most of the previous studies (Kumar et al, 2020;Merigó et al, 2019;Mulet-Forteza et al, 2019) based on individual journal review used VOSviewer software to conduct bibliometric analysis. This study has used "bibliometrix" tool to analyze the documents of JQAHT, which follows standard science mapping workflow.…”

“…According to Aria and Cuccurullo (2017), most of the widely used software tools that support bibliometric analysis do not help scholars to follow the complete Forno and Garibaldi (2015) recommended workflow of science mapping. Secondly, the bibliometric results have the potential benefits to the editors to determine and address the key research gaps in the quality aspect of tourism (Kumar et al, 2020). Thirdly, the contribution of the study can advise researchers regarding most influential authors and institutions, those who seek collaboration and exchange programs in the field of the quality aspect of tourism (Liao et al, 2019).…”

“…Similar types of studies are also evident in tourism literature when a journal completes a significant milestone or event. For instance, Merigó et al (2019) analyzed Tourism Geographies, Kumar et al (2020) examined the Journal of Heritage Tourism and Mulet-Forteza et al (2018) analyzed Journal of Travel and Tourism Marketing. This analytic technique has been increasingly used in the academic for science mapping due to the voluminous production of research publications.…”

This study bibliometrically examines 406 documents published in the Journal of Quality Assurance in Hospitality & Tourism (JQAHT) from 2000 to 2019 to uncover the scientific development, intellectual and conceptual structure in JQAHT and to rank most productive countries, institutions, authors, keywords and influential articles. The innovative tool "bibliometrix" was used to conduct the bibliometric analysis. The main results were interpreted and discussed through three levels of analysis: descriptive, intellectual structure, and co-word analysis. The descriptive analysis presents principal information about the authors, countries, publications, citations and keywords. Both co-citation analysis and historiographic mapping are used for intellectual structure and co-word analysis to reveal the conceptual structure. Han H, the USA and Oklahoma State University are the most productive author, country and institution in JQAHT, respectively, with service quality and customer satisfaction are the most researched themes. The findings provide a guide to researchers and practitioners to comprehensively understand the developmental trajectory of JQAHT and its structural and hidden implications.

“…The field analyzed herein has attracted the attention of many scholars over several decades (Belhassen and Caton, 2009) and has evolved into several sub-fields (McKercher and Tung, 2015), such as adventure tourism (Cheng et al , 2018); business ethics (Köseoglu et al , 2016b); finance (Jimenez-Caballero and Molina, 2017); gastronomy (Okumus et al , 2018); heritage tourism (Kumar et al , 2020); human resources (García-Lillo et al , 2018); innovation, information technology and social media (Leung et al , 2013; Nusair et al , 2019); marketing (Line and Runyan, 2012); service quality (Garrigos-Simon et al , 2018); revenue management (Denizci Guillet and Mohammed, 2015); and most commonly, sustainability (Ruhanen et al , 2015; Della Corte et al , 2019; Niñerola et al , 2019; Serrano et al , 2019).…”

Purpose This study aims to present a bibliometric overview of articles published in the field of tourism, leisure and hospitality and analyzed by researchers mainly affiliated with European institutions. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted a bibliometric study of journals included in the Web of Science related to the field of tourism, leisure and hospitality in 2019. The review incorporates various techniques to determine the field’s structure from a scientific and intellectual perspective. Findings The results are valuable for several reasons. First, they will support researchers in identifying those topics with the greatest potential for advancing research in this field. Second, they will constitute an important aid in the design of new policies for journal publishers. Practical implications This study can lead to advances in the tourism, leisure and hospitality field, as it identifies the publication trends of researchers who are mainly affiliated with European institutions. It also offers useful information for practitioners and academics in their endeavor to identify gaps in the extant literature and future trends. Originality/value No other studies have analyzed this field for a period of this length.

“…Building on this, in tourism research, other scholars have studied the most productive and influential institutions (Law et al , 2010) and work produced in specific countries (Lojo et al , 2019); they have even mapped the research structure of specific journals within the field (Kumar et al , 2020; Mulet-Forteza et al , 2019a). Some studies focus on co-authorship or collaborative methods, but they are based on a specific sub-sector or field such as medical tourism (Virani et al , 2020), restaurant research (Rodríguez-López et al , 2020), food or gastronomy tourism (Celebi et al , 2020), eco-tourism (Shasha et al , 2020), family tourism (Mimi et al , 2020), smart tourism (Johnson and Samakovlis, 2019), creative tourism (Galvagno and Giaccone, 2019) or sustainable tourism (Serrano et al , 2019).…”

Purpose Analyze patterns of co-authorship in hospitality and tourism (H&T) research using bibliometric methods. The purpose of this paper is to answer three questions related to collaborative practices, the number of authors, the order of signatures and the role of the corresponding author. Design/methodology/approach The methodology is based on the bibliometric techniques of authorship analyzes published in leading H&T journals. Evaluative techniques provide longitudinal evidence of the evolution of some indicators of authors’ collaboration: the percentage of alphabetized authorships; the percentage of articles were the most relevant author signs in the first, middle or last position; and the position of the corresponding author in the by-line. Findings First, the collaborative nature of H&T research is confirmed; almost 80% of articles in the sample are co-authored. Second, over the past 30 years, the alphabetized signature model has been in decline in this field. Today, about 20% of articles indexed in JCR journals are signed alphabetically. Third, the first author’s placement is less consistent than that of the corresponding author. Practical implications This work provides relevant information on researchers’ authorship habits that may help evaluators assign credit and accountability and avoid malpractice in the authorial assignment. Originality/value This study explores the habits of researchers who collaborate to improve their productivity, impact and reputation. This is often linked to facilitating access to research funding and obtaining recognition from incentive systems. Yet, no research specifically examines trends in signature order or the corresponding author’s role in the H&T field.
