“…For instance, in early 1990s, IJCHM 35,2 Sheldon (1991) conducted authorship contribution analysis in tourism research, leading a stream of review research which sees later and contemporary applications (cf. Jogaratnam et al, 2005;Wong et al, 2021). Recently, Wong et al (2021) conducted a longitudinal analysis on 14,229 journal articles published in 12 selected SSCI journals in tourism and hospitality from 2000 to 2019 and identified shifts of prolific authors and research collaboration patterns over time.…”

“…Quartile 1 (Q1) and Quartile 2 (Q2) journals in social science citation index (SSCI) provide good quality control in their peer-review system, and the empirical studies published in these journals would generally represent the quality work in the field. Therefore, it is not uncommon to see tourism researchers use the SSCI listed journals as quality indicators in review studies (Wong et al , 2021). Accordingly, we set up our review scope to be the 19 Q1 and Q2 journals in tourism and hospitality based on the 2021 SSCI journal impact factor (JIF) data.…”

Purpose This study aims to provide a timely review of the COVID-19-related empirical research published in 19 quartile one (Q1) and quartile two (Q2) tourism and hospitality journals in social science citation index (SSCI). Design/methodology/approach A total of 407 COVID-19-related empirical papers were collected from the 19 SSCI Q1 and Q2 tourism and hospitality journals via Scopus database. Thematic content analysis was supplemented with Leximancer software to identify the research themes/subthemes, research methods and countries/regions of research. Findings The study found studies of COVID-19’s impact on consumer behaviour predominate in number, followed by studies on response actions and recovery strategies, impact on industry or sectors and impact on workers and employees. Based on the research themes identified, a knowledge mapping framework was produced. Over 70% of the studies used quantitative methods with quantitative survey as the dominant method of data collection. The USA and China were found to be the most studied countries. Research limitations/implications The study reviewed empirical research papers until January 2022 and covered most of the COVID-19-related empirical works in the field. An overview of the current state of COVID-19-related empirical research was provided with some critical discussions and suggestions for future research topics. Originality/value The findings give researchers a clear index for the current state of the art of COVID-19 research in hospitality and tourism. The paper provides practical implications for industry practitioners to retrieve relevant knowledge from the recent COVID-19-related literature in tourism and hospitality in coping with practical challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“…Ye et al (2013) used bibliometrics to analyze academic collaborations in tourism and hospitality by examining articles published in six journals from 1991 to 2010. A similar analysis has been conducted by Wong et al (2021) who examine the current status of authorship in this field by expanding his focus to 12 SSCI journals. This study innovatively probes into this field by dividing the first 20 years of the new millennium into four periods.…”

“…This study innovatively probes into this field by dividing the first 20 years of the new millennium into four periods. Distinct from Ye et al (2013), Wong et al (2021) In the present study, we provide an overview of the thematic structure while also focusing on citation and authors' productivity in tourism and hospitality. One important aspect to note is that as per uncovering thematic structure, we go one step further to examine abstracts by resorting to corpus linguistic tools and NLP techniques.…”

PurposeThis study aims to track the historical development in tourism and hospitality research over the past 30 years by applying a novel interdisciplinary approach, combining both corpus linguistics and bibliometric analysis.Design/methodology/approachMost frequently discussed topics and newly emerging topics were identified by investigating 18,266 abstracts from 18 leading tourism and hospitality journals with corpus linguistics toolkit AntConc and natural language processing (NLP) tool spaCy. Trend analysis and bibliometric methods were used to determine the longitudinal changes of research topics, most highly-cited publications and authors' production.FindingsThis study revealed the evolution patterns of the identified 576 most frequently discussed topics across the four subperiods (1991–2000, 2001–2010, 2011–2015 and 2016–2020). Specifically, results showed that information technology-related topics account for the largest proportion of the identified 38 newly emerging topics from 2011. Besides, researchers are increasingly focusing on the use of more sophisticated and advanced statistical methodologies.Practical implicationsThis study helps researchers make sensible decisions on what research topics to explore; it also helps practitioners and stakeholders make the shift and track opportunities in the field.Originality/valueNo other studies have employed the novel interdisciplinary approach, combining corpus linguistic tools in linguistics, NLP techniques in computer science and bibliometric analysis in library and information science, for exploring research trends in tourism and hospitality.

“…Truong (2020)'s study is notable in being the first major study on mixed methods research in HTM journals. In addition to methodologies, networks in the field of HTM are being studied, including research on the creation and delivery of HTM outputs (Wong et al, 2021). This is the first HTM study to apply bibliographic analysis to the past 20 years of author collaboration and output in 5-year periods.This study notes that rankings are affected by long-term scholarship, and that the use of 5-year periods is important in order to more accurately analyze authorship trends and output.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop insight into the scholarly communications trends in hospitality and tourism management by looking at the practice of publishing Special Issues (SIs) in top-ranked hospitality and tourism management (HTM) academic journals: examining the relationship of SIs to journal impact as a measurement of quality, identifying some principal topics of SI and the trend of publishing SI as monographs. Design/methodology/approach This paper consists of an analysis of 22 top-ranked HTM journals from 1995 to 2020, in-depth case studies reviewing studies in two top-ranked HTM journals and an examination of which publishers supplement their revenue by selling their special issues as monographs. This paper includes a substantial review of literature regarding special issue publishing within business academic journals. Findings There was growth in the publication of HTM SI from 1995 to 2020, both in numbers and as a percentage of total issues. There is no evidence that SI are reducing impact within HTM journals; impact has grown exponentially since the mid-1990s. In one case, there was a significant increase in SI publication as well as in impact. The number of Regular Issues (RI) published increased during the same period but at a marginally lower rate. There is no evidence that SI are negatively affecting RI. The in-depth analysis of the two journals concurred with the above findings and suggested that SI studies discuss topics of the highest impact. SI increased the revenue of the publisher through monograph publishing. This practice also furthered the field by making SI available to be purchased as a monograph by nonsubscribers. Research limitations/implications This study provides a deeper understanding of scholarly publishing in top-ranking HTM journals and provides a foundation for future research on HTM publishing practices. Its practical implications extend to practitioners who rely on HTM scholarship for dissemination of vital research that can guide or drive decision-making. This study also informs the critical question as to whether such research is compromised by publishing practices. Other practical implications include providing reassuring information to editors who publish SI that these issues do not appear to contribute to lower journal impact. For researchers who are considering submitting manuscripts to SIs, this study similarly implies that their paper should not be considered of lower value and that there is no indication that its impact will be lessened. Furthermore, the authors hope that this study encourages would-be guest editors to publish SI if they have held back because of quality/impact concerns. Finally, this paper may provide evidence to journal editors who do not regularly publish SI because of quality and impact concerns that they may reconsider this choice. Implications for HTM journal editors and guest editors include adding or increasing SI in their publishing practice will not decrease the journal’s quality, while SI publishing also could contribute to the goals of their publication and increase revenues for the publishers. Researchers who may have been reluctant to publish in SI should be more inclined to submit to them or endeavor to become guest editors to explore avenues of developing their field. Originality/value SI publication and impact within the field of hospitality and tourism scholarly communications are rarely discussed. Literature reviews on SI publication in business are also limited. Investigation into publication practices of focused/special issues can help inform researchers, publishers and editors and provide a state of the industry.
