Call for Papers


Travel and tourism are important parts of modern, global society. They provide many benefits for communities all around the world. Technology has the possibility to emphasize the positive impacts of tourism while reducing the negative impacts. Instead of an exclusive activity, we should aim to find ways to include how tourism can bring benefits to society as a whole and take into account groups that are often marginalized or excluded. Connecting cultures, technology, and sustainability through tourism can help create an understanding of the possibilities that e-Tourism creates for a more inclusive society.

ENTER23 e-Tourism Conference brings together researchers and educators, tourism and hospitality industries, governments, and technology providers to find ways how technologies in tourism and hospitality could increase the inclusiveness of the field. The conference, with the theme Inclusive power of Tourism: connecting culture, technology and sustainability, contributes to the science and practice of tourism and provides various stakeholders possibilities to network, innovate, learn, experience, and develop the tourism field.

The International Federation for IT and Travel & Tourism (IFITT) together with Seeza Network, and Durban and Tshwane Universities of Technologies, call for the global e-tourism community, academics, technology and travel and hospitality business, destinations, and NGOs to contribute to ENTER Conference to think about how tourism and technology together can make tourism more inclusive.

Overview

The scientific conference ranking presented on this page offers a comprehensive, data-driven evaluation of conferences within the field of Business and Management. Compiled by Research.com, a foremost authority in providing reliable and extensive data on scientific contributions since 2014, this ranking draws on a decade-long tradition of excellence in research analytics across all major scientific disciplines.

This ranking utilizes a unique bibliometric score specifically developed by Research.com. The position of each conference is determined by a composite metric that takes into account the estimated h-index of the event and the number of leading scientists who have participated in the conference over the previous three years. This approach ensures that both the scholarly impact of the conference and its ability to attract prominent researchers are factored into the analysis, resulting in a rigorous and meaningful assessment.

For the 2024 edition, Impact Score values were gathered as of 2024-11-27. The process involved a meticulous examination of more than 216 conferences, each selected after a thorough review of over 727 scientific documents published in the last three years. The evaluation included contributions from 2,177 leading and well-respected scientists specializing in Business and Management, reflecting the breadth and depth of this ranking's research basis.

To ensure the highest standards of accuracy, credibility, and relevance, every stage of the ranking process was conducted with methodical precision by a team of experts. For a comprehensive explanation of the methodology employed in computing the ranking scores, please refer to our Methodology Page.

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each conference is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing at Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Rob Law (7 papers) published 7 papers at the last edition,
  • Jamie Murphy (4 papers) published 4 papers at the last edition,
  • Matthias Fuchs (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • Joy M. Grossman (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • Dimitrios Buhalis (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing at Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Bournemouth University (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • University of Lugano (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition,
  • Mid Sweden University (3 papers) published 3 papers at the last edition.

The overall trend for top affiliations publishing at this conference is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the conference for top affiliations.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions at the conference edition to all articles published within that conference. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the conference.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2010 edition, 11.86% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 42.31% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing at the conference. Another 15.38% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 42.31% of all publications and 0.00% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of conferences they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same conference from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the conference in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing at a conference. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a conference, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Connection to Other Fields of Study

While the main focus of Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism is on the tourism industry and its connection with technology, related research can provide valuable insights for other fields of study as well. For instance, principles of marketing, advertising, and the use of the internet and World Wide Web for business purposes can be applied in other industries.

Looking more specifically, research at Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism can prove useful for students pursuing an urban planning degree in Hawaii. A deeper understanding of tourism trends, marketing strategies and the role of technology provides a crucial advantage in urban planning, particularly for regions heavily reliant on tourism.

Furthermore, other disciplines including multimedia and usability can benefit from the insights and outcomes of the research conducted at Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism. By encouraging broader interdisciplinary conversations around the subject, there are immense opportunities for synergy and innovation.
