What sources can we use to determine the total number of researchers in the field of Tourism and Hospitality research, as well as the number of journals and educational programs in the field?
I am using Essential Science Indicators (ESI) to determine the highly cited thresholds and Field Baselines (e.g., 1% or 0.01% in the field): https://esi.clarivate.com/BaselineAction.action
However, I have not been able to find the total number of researchers.
Similarly, we can obtain journal rankings in Tourism and Hospitality from sources such as SJR (https://www.scimagojr.com/journalrank.php?area=1400&category=1409), ABDC list (https://abdc.edu.au/abdc-journal-quality-list/), or Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=top_venues&hl=en&vq=bus_tourismhospitality), but it is not clear what the total number of journals in the field is.
Hello Maksim. This is a challenging task because there is no definitive method to establish the exact count of researchers working in the field of tourism and hospitality research. To ensure accuracy, you must specify your inclusion criteria. For instance, do you want to include only researchers specializing in this field, or do you also want to consider those with cross-disciplinary expertise? Also, do you want to incorporate gastronomy and foodservice-based researchers in your selection criteria?
Regarding journals, limiting your search to Scopus, WoS, and ERA index journals would be best. It's crucial to focus on quality over quantity since many non-indexed tourism and hospitality journals are available worldwide. I hope this information is helpful.
