Publication chance based on affiliation

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

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 2021 edition, 88.60% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 23.08% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% of all publications and 76.92% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal 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 journal 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 in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, 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.

Understanding the Impact of Business Tourism

Another important aspect that our journal aims to investigate is the intersection between business tourism and economic development. Traveling for business purposes has its distinctive impacts, bringing about unique interactions with the local economy. Among the topics under the business tourism category we study extensively are the tourism expenditure patterns, accommodation and transportation services demand, and the economic significance of business-related travel activities. Special emphasis is placed on the increasing trend of hosting meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE), a lucrative aspect of the hospitality industry leveraging business tourism. To further explore the business sector's effect on tourism, consider some of the good business schools in Kansas, where specialized programs offer insights into the symbiotic relationship between these two industries. The reviews and research articles related to this topic provide relevant data for hotels, convention centers, and destination marketing organizations, as well as professionals in the hospitality, tourism, and business industries. By studying and analyzing business tourism models and practices, we aim to contribute to maximizing its economic benefits while minimizing environmental and cultural impacts. A detailed discussion about this topic will help industry professionals and researchers understand the nuances of business tourism, potentially informing policy decisions and strategic planning.
