Journal metrics
13
• SJR Rank: It is a measure of journal’s impact, influence or prestige. It expresses the average number of weighted citations received in the selected year by the documents published in the journal in the three previous years. Uses similar algorithms like Google page rank.
• Impact factor: measures the average number ofcitations received in a particular year by paperspublished in the journal during the two precedingyears
• H-Index: journal‘s number of articles (h) that havereceived at least h citations over the whole period
Examples

JBR Symmetric Measures
JBR Journal Metrics
Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP): 1.684
SCImago Journal Rank (SJR): 1.183
Impact Factor: 1.480
5-Year Impact Factor: 2.324
Symmetric measures are the dominant logic but highly misleading
E.g., average number of holiday vacation flights annually by Americans equals 1.0, yet…
65% of Americans annually do not do holiday travel by air
Use asymmetric metrics as well! See next page.

Time to publish research failures• Karl Popper: “Refutations have often been regarded as establishing the failure of a scientist, or at least of his theory. It should be stressed that this is an inductivist error. Every refutation should be regarded as a great success. … Even if a new theory … should meet an early death, it should not be forgotten; rather its beauty should be remembered, and history should record our gratitude to it.”• Albert A. Michelson and Edward W. Morley Albert Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity; 1907 Nobel Prize in Physics

The quality criteria: ATR
Scope
Significance
Originality
Rigour
Threshold
29
Scope
Submissions must fall with the aims and scope of the journal. Annals of Tourism Research is a social sciences journal focusing on academic perspectives on tourism. Submissions must be able to clearly articulate how they satisfy both the social science and tourism test. This will normally be by reference to an underpinning by one or more social science disciplines and/or methods and a focus on a social aspect of tourism.
30
22.07.2015
16
Significance
Significance will be understood in terms of the development of the intellectual agenda of the field and may be theoretical, methodological and/or substantive. Due weight will be given to potential as well as actual significance, especially where the output is very recent.
31
Originality
Originality will be understood in terms of the innovative character of the research output. Research outputs that demonstrate originality may: engage with new and/or complex problems; develop innovative research methods, methodologies and analytical techniques; provide new empirical material; and/or advance theory or the analysis of doctrine, policy or practice.
32
22.07.2015
17
Rigour
Rigour will be understood in terms of the intellectual precision, robustness and appropriateness of the concepts, analyses, theories and methodologies deployed within a research output. Account will be taken of such qualities as the integrity, coherence and consistency of arguments and analysis, such as the due consideration of ethical issues.
33
Thresholds Of publishable standard: Demonstrates a level of significance rigour and originality that meets international standards of excellence. Enhances theory, knowledge, policy or practice of the social science of tourism and is likely to become an important point of reference in tourism research. Elegantly written with clarity and insight. Innovative.

SOME MORE CAVEATS BEFORESUBMITTING A PAPER
Arch. G. Woodside
35
1. Cover Letter
Write a cover letter! 1 in 10 authors do not include a cover letter; a big mistake. Cover letter is an opportunity to convince editor that your paper is worthy of reviewing.
Write to editor by her/his name and not “Dear Editor”. Personalize your letter.
Cover two topics in your cover letter. First, tell what is unique and valuable in the study that your paper reports. Only 2 in 10 authors take this step!
Second, tell how your paper is relevant to the journal that you are submitting your paper for review; provide evidence of relevancy! Only 1 in 10 authors take this step.

Example cover (bad) letter
To Arch G. Woodside:
We submitted you the manuscript “Consequences of Program Engagement in Online Loyalty Programs” in order to be considered to its publication in the journal “Journal of Business Research”. The authors of the paper are: XXX, a doctoral student of the School of Business and Economics of Valladolid (Spain) ; YYY, an associate professor of the School of Business and Economics of Valladolid (Spain); and ZZZ, an associate professor of the School of Business and Economics of Valladolid (Spain). We hope it was of interest to you.
Thank you in advance. We look forward to hearing from you.
37
2. Write in Active Voice Everywhere except the Method Section
BEFORE: “The paper used a dynamic research design to probe the relationship between boards, strategy and performance.”
AFTER: “This study probes relationships among board of directors’ characteristics, firm strategy, and firm performance.”
[“between” refers to two entitites]
[“The paper used…” is passive and implies old-hat, nothing new.]
“dynamic research design” conveys no meaning
Use a second comma in a string of three objects
Adopt a viewpoint that you need to revise all sentences in your paper twice before submitting the paper!
“among” when you are referring two 3+ objects. 38
22.07.2015
20
3. Ask Two Colleagues to Read Your Paper and Give You Comments before You Submit the Paper
Only 1 in 20 papers includes a thank you note that mentions specific names and affiliations of colleagues who have read and given comments on the paper before the paper’s submission. Big mistake!
A reading by a colleague always results in a paper’s
improvement in content and style. Always! Do not be in a hurry to submit. Take this step!
Editors and reviewers go nuts over misspellings, missing key references, and incomplete explanations in data analysis.
Editors love to read thank-you-note on bottom of cover page.
39
4. Your Title Should Indicate Your Contribution to Theory
Most titles of submissions to scholarly journals are bad.
Examples of bad titles An Investigation into the Factors Affecting Customers' Perception in B2C
"Business-to-Customer" E-commerce Shopping
Perceptions of firm performance in M&A context
Bring “theory” into your thinking and early drafts of your paper
Good titles (note absence of “Turkey”, “China”, “Brazil”, and the “USA”): How consumers consume: a typology of consumption practices
Why do brands cause trouble: A dialectical theory of consumer culture and branding
How brands become icons
Updating Heider’s balance theory: A Jewish couple buys a German car
How do men grab the phallus? Gender tourism in everyday consumption

5. Embrace the new logic that within the same data set, X relates to Y positively, negatively, and not all:contrarian case analysis supports this principle
Symmetric-based theory Core hypothesis: low X
associates with low Y; high X associates with high Y; test using statistics
Focus on fit validity only with no holdout sample testing
Testing for net effects—deconstruction
Now the dominant logic
Asymmetric-based theory Core hypothesis: low X
associates with low and high Y; high X associates with low and high Y—which depends on recipes
Focus on predictive validity testing with holdout samples
Testing for recipe usefulness in predicting high outcome score
Relatively new logic

6. Insure your paper fulfills the style requirements of thejournal that you are submitting the paper for review
The style in one paper in five JBR submissions does not match the style requirements of the JBR
Examples:
The JBR does not use structured abstracts
The JBR does not accept footnotes or end notes in papers
Figures and tables should appear after the reference pages (not true for JCR)
Use full abstracts: not teasers
43
7. Cover details in your abstract
Abstract should have lots of details
Details: issue (motivation), theory (problem), method (solution), key finding, implication to theory/practice
Good abstract:
This study advances a configural asymmetric theory of the complex antecedents to hospitality employee happiness-at-work and managers’ assessments of employees’ quality of work-performance.
The study identifies antecedent paths involving high-versus-low happy employees associating with high-versus-low managers’ assessments of these employees’ performances. The study merges data from surveys of employees (n=247) and surveys completed by their managers (n=43) and by using qualitative comparative analysis via the software program, fsQCA.com. 44

The study analyzes data from Janfusan Fancyworld, the largest (in revenues and number of employees) tourism business group in Taiwan; Janfusan Fancyworld includes tourist hotels, amusement parks, restaurants and additional firms in related service sectors.
The findings support the four tenets of configural analysis and theory construction:
recognize equifinality of different solutions for the same outcome;
test for asymmetric solutions;
test for causal asymmetric outcomes for very high versus very low happiness and work performance;
and embrace complexity.
The study provides useful case-level algorithms involving employees’ demographic characteristics and their assessments of work facet-specifics which are useful for explaining very high happiness-at-work and high quality-of-work performance (as assessed by managers)—as well as algorithms explaining very low happiness and very low quality-of-work performance.

8. Include a great visual (figure) in your paper:display below is Tufte and Napoleon’s army going
to and returning from Moscow
Available free: lots of pages of VISUAL DISPLAY OF QUANTITATIVE INFORMATION, E. Tufte at:

9. Try to use research genres other than surveyswith mostly 5, 6, or 7 point scales
Way too many early career authors/papers rely on 5 to 7 point scaled question responses
Substantial evidence supports the perspectives that (1) most thinking occurs unconsciously and (2) self-reports differ from reality of actual system 1 beliefs… and feelings … and accuracy substantially (see Nesbit and Wilson’s (1977) classic study—”Telling more than we can know” and Feldman and Lynch’s (1988) “self-generated validity”
Consider using additional genres such as historical records, field experiments, naturally generated self reports, the long interview method (in situ interviews), “structured analogies” (role-playing)—see J Scott Armstrong for structured analogies
Take two hours and read a few pages in Case Study Research: Theory, Methods and Practice—455 pages, covers 14 research genres and you can have a copy for free 47
Example of an unusual research genre (role-playing)
