تذکری از سردبیران چهار ژورنال شاخص در زمینهٔ گردشگری:

"Shopping around" for a publication outlet?

Dear colleagues,

We are increasingly noticing that authors “shop their papers around” – they send them from one journal to another hoping that one of those journals will “bite”. The pattern of shopping papers around seems to be one where authors work down some journal ranking list. As a result, we see many of those papers crossing our desks … and getting rejected.
 
Unless a manuscript genuinely fits the aims and scope of a journal, it is extremely unlikely to be published. Therefore, every time a paper is being “shopped around” it wastes the authors’ and editor’s time. A more promising publishing strategy is to genuinely engage with the target journal (read many papers published in the journal, especially those directly relevant to the study, familiarise yourself with the style of papers published in the journal, get a feeling for how many figures and tables are typically included in the manuscript itself, ensure that you prepare the manuscript in line with submission guidelines, run the manuscript through a text similarity checker to be safe, ….). This approach leads to a much higher chance of a paper being published than the “shopping around” strategy.
 
Best wishes,

شگفتا که علوم انسانی و شاخه‌های مدیریت از جمله گردشگری در زمینه‌های مورد پذیرش جشنوارهٔ جوان خوارزمی جایی ندارد؛ البته جز هنر که خوش‌بختانه از غربال جَسته و لحاظ شده.

ای دوستان نادیدهٔ سیاست‌گذار در این جشنواره! علوم انسانی و مدیریت نقش نرم‌افزار و مغز متفکر و سکّان‌داری را دارد در جوامع. بهترین سخت‌افزار و مهندسی و فناوری و امکانات هم که باشد اگر نرم‌افزار و جهت و نحوهٔ حرکت درست نباشد، هیچکس راه به جایی نمی‌برد. اگر فهم و هدف‌گذاری و مسیر و رفتار اشتباه باشد، بهبود فنی-مهندسی و افزایش بودجه، به جای فایده، تأثیر مخرب دارد: قهقراء را تعمیق و تسریع می‌کند.

🔹مُقَرنَس‌کاری

مسجد جامع عباسی، میدان نقش جهان، اصفهان.

Muqarnas is a three-dimensional architectural decorative element that flourished in its most complete form mainly during the Islamic period.

Some early and simpler examples of muqarnas have been traced back to Iran during the Achaemenid Empire (c. 550-330 BCE), becoming more complex throughout the time of Parthia (247 BCE to 224 CE) and the Sassanian Empire (224-651 CE); thus, suggesting an Iranian origin for this architectural element.

Integrating Theory into Your Manuscript

By Co-Editors-In-Chief, Journal of Travel Research: McGehee and Petrick (2024, June 19)


Theory: it begins in your lit review

Researchers typically learn very early about the importance of theory as a means of setting the foundation for research. However, there seems to be some variation as to how to appropriately write this component of a lit review.

Arguing for a theoretical perspective is more than just a brief and superficial definition of your theoretical approach. Authors should demonstrate a deep knowledge of the theory in a concise manner.

Manuscripts should include the who, what, when, where, and how of a theory. Who has used it? In what fields? When was it first used? Where has it been used (e.g. Western vs Eastern thought) How has it evolved and how is it being used now?

While some research begs for a poly-theoretical approach, this is more the exception than the rule. Resist playing “theory bingo” by including many theories (e.g. one for each set of survey items) and instead read deeply enough that you are able to focus on 1 or 2 theories or theoretical perspectives.

Be sure to include other theories considered and justify why the theory chosen is the best for the research problem. Sometimes researchers “fall in love” with one theoretical perspective without surveying the greater theoretical landscape. Other times they may feel rushed and don’t take the time to explore the various options. The difference between good and great research is often in this detail. Take the time to read deeply across various theoretical areas and think deeply about which perspective is the most informative.

What are the shortcomings of the theory chosen and how can they be overcome? This is a section that is quickly disappearing from manuscripts. There are no perfect theories; understanding the shortcomings of the theory selected and being transparent about them will make the work stronger.

Theory: it’s not just for your lit review

Far too many manuscripts include a description of the theoretical perspective in the literature review, only to have the theory disappear from the rest of the paper. This is a fatal flaw for a potential JTR manuscript.

A successful manuscript needs to show how the theory informs the research questions, hypotheses if applicable, the methodological approach, and the findings. Be specific and clear, use citations and reference other similar work. If it’s a ground-breaking approach, even better, but explain why and how.

Don’t forget to include how the research findings impact and contribute to the theory in the conclusions section of the manuscript. What aspects of the theory were supported? What aspects were not supported? How has it expanded or changed the theory?

Include discussion of theory in the limitations and future research. What were the shortcomings of the theoretical perspective used? Could another theory have been useful? Should future work consider the theory used or are there other possibilities?


For JTR submissions it is vital to thread the theoretical perspective throughout the manuscript.
