“…The case study submissions followed a formulaic approach in their presentation, obliged to include the fol- The REF administrators published all submitted case studies online in spring 2015, with full consent of the submitting institutions that the information will enter the public domain. The here analyzed sample size, is a subset of all 'tourism research impact' that was submitted to the REF 2014 [8]. The reason why we focus on this specific subset, is that these case studies were made from self-identified tourism researchers, i.e., individuals expected to master the language repertoire around describing the sustainability of tourism.…”

“…There are plenty of individual examples of researchers, the industry, and tourists finding avenues to increase social and environmental sustainability [5][6][7]. Yet, what impact tourism scholars themselves hold when contributing to sustainable tourism in general may be more difficult to trace [8]. Untangling the complexities involved in accounting for the impact of tourism researchers on sustainable tourism is the knowledge gap this research addresses.…”

Sustainable tourism (ST) has recently become the mainstream of the tourism industry and, accordingly, has influenced contemporary tourism research. However, ST is not just theories about indications and contraindications of global travel, but also a specific language that needs mastering to take sustainability work forward. In other words, what research receives recognition depends on the proficiency in how the articulation in research proposals and within assessment under the heading of “research impact”. The aim of this paper is to investigate how tourism research gains recognition within research evaluation, by investigating the national research appraisal in the United Kingdom (Research Excellence Framework). By using content analysis, we disentangle the rhetorical choices and narrative constructions within researchers’ impact claims. Our findings suggest that researchers adopt a rhetorical style that implies causality and promotes good outcomes facilitating ST. However, the structure of the assessment format enforces an articulation of sustainable research impact without stating the methodological limitations of that such claim. Therefore, the rhetorical choices of ST researchers merely represent a proxy indicator of the claimed impact. We conclude that the lack of rigor in accounting for the impact of ST research may inadvertently restrict attaining ST.

This article contains dataset on the behavior of international tourists when traveling is related to 1) tourist demographics, 2) things that affect tourists to choose travel destinations when planning, 3) use of mobile data while traveling, 4) how to get internet access while traveling, 5) social media used during traveling, and 6) behavior of smartphone use for tourists during traveling. The raw data presented here can be used as material to analyze the behavior of international tourists related to any media that affects international tourists in planning their trips, and how they behave during traveling. This data is a source of raw data from our research on smartphones and international tourist behavior, besides being used for various other research purposes.

“…Still, it remains a much-overlooked aspect of knowledge production due to our preoccupation with "meaning" (content 1 ) rather than with the process of meaning-making (cf. Brauer et al 2019). Our understanding of concepts is indicative of how we bring meaning to facts, principles, systems, theorems, etc.…”

The concept of ‘rural’ as a psychosocial process: From concept attainment to concept unlearning

Realising that human geography has been defined less by its canonical works but rather by its canonical concepts, the current status of the concept ‘rural’ puts a question mark over progress in human geography in terms of how well we have been able to adapt knowledge to reciprocate with societal change at large. As one of the oldest geographical concepts still in widespread use, ‘rural’ stands in stark contrast to the immense changes encountered by the society during the last century, let alone decades. And while this problem has been approached both empirically and philosophically, not enough stress has been put on the cognitive and sociological processes that have governed the attainment and retention of ‘rural’ in science, and beyond. In this vein, the aim of this paper is to provide a structured argument for facilitating a view of ‘rural’ less as a geographical space and more as a concept purportedly thought to define such space by way of inculcation.
