The purpose of this study is to identify how much tourism-and hospitality-related academic professionals have contributed to their fields in recent years and to apply an authorship analysis following Sheldon's work to reconfirm her observation that full professors contribute more to academic professional journals more than authors with lower academic ranks. Our analyses of research productivity showed that tourism and hospitality (TH) academicians published more than non-TH professionals in some Social Science Citation Index (SSCI)-listed TH journals and that experienced scholars were more productive than novice professionals in other SSCI-registered TH journals. By conducting not only an authorship analysis in the senior TH-related journals but also a research productivity analysis of TH versus non-TH professionals and English-speaking (ES) versus non-ES researchers, in particular, the results of this study provide helpful information to young journals such as Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Management to be a high-quality academic journal across varied disciplinary boundaries and to collect extensive opinions from elder TH journals.
