Critical theory is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary framework for analyzing social, cultural, and political phenomena. It originated in the Frankfurt School in the 1930s by Max Horkheimer, and its leading proponents include Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, and Jürgen Habermas. Measuring the reflection of critical theory on tourism can be a complex task due to the interdisciplinary and multifaceted nature of critical theory and the tourism industry. This chapter will cover three critical topics. Firstly, the author will explore bibliometrics as a research tool for measuring scientific productivity in tourism journals through publications and citations. Secondly, he will delve into network analysis, which provides visualization of the relationships between nodes and components that shape the social structure of the tourism industry, including power dynamics. Lastly, the author will discuss using scientific methods to gain insight into the critical paradigm as a framework for understanding the tourism perspective. In the conclusion section, they will summarize and expand upon these findings.
