Publishing in the Journal of Travel Research

Abstract

This article reports on a study that examined manuscript and review data for the Journal of Travel Research ( JTR). Two sets of data were examined to address the question “what are the key issues affecting acceptance and/or rejection of manuscripts submitted for publication in JTR?” Manuscripts reviewed for publication in JTR are sent to three editorial board members for review. Reviewers are asked to (a) quantitatively rate the manuscript on a review form and (b) provide qualitative comments to the authors articulating their perspectives of the manuscript along with concerns and constructive recommendations. Stratified, random samples of these quantitative ratings and qualitative comments for both manuscripts that were subsequently rejected and manuscripts that were ultimately accepted for publication provided the data for this study. The article presents these data and concludes with recommendations for authors.
