Japan is aiming at becoming a "Tourism-oriented Country" because
there is a high potential in the tourism industry to bring a major economic
ripple effect on the economy. However, there are not enough academic studies
and publications regarding tourism in Japan at this moment to establish
a tourism nation. It is necessary to collect many tourism related subjects
from inside and outside of Japan, and disseminate the knowledge and expertise
to the world to establish a worldwide tourism nation. The International
Society for Tourism Research (ISTR) publishes the Journal of Global Tourism Research (JGTR). It is an Open Access journal that aims to provide and share the
latest information on all aspects of tourism. JGTR publishes a range of
peer-reviewed articles that explore comprehensive and specific aspects
of this emerging field, as well as important reviews and methods. This
journal is published continuously online and also a printed version is
available. JGTR has a global audience that freely uses the contents to
remain informed and up-to-date with tourism issues. It is significant and
important to publish the journal from Japan promoting the exchange of worldwide
knowledge and ideas.

Peer Review Rules | ||
as of June 27, 2024 | ||
Purpose of Peer-review The peer-review is a fair and objective evaluation of submitted papers (general article, opinion, original article, research letter, technical report, note) and it determines if the submitted papers are appropriate for publication in the academic journal "Journal of Global Tourism Research." |
||
Reviewer The editor-in-chief or the representative of the secretariat selects two peer-reviewers, suitable for the content of the submitted paper, from the editorial committee or outside the department and requests a review. The process of "double-blind peer-review" is adopted. If the two requested persons accept to review, the two will be appointed as reviewers of the paper. Reviewers must be aware of the importance of their role in the publication of articles and strive for fair peer-review. In addition, the information obtained during the peer-review of the manuscript must not be leaked to others. However, the editorial board may be notified only when it becomes aware of the fact that it violates the prohibition of duplicate applications. In addition, if the author of the manuscript to be examined has a personal connection with a reviewer, such as the same affiliation or laboratory, it is desirable to decline the examination immediately. |
||
Peer-review Period The period of peer-review is determined by the editor-in-chief or the representative of the secretariat while considering the publication situation. When requesting an external reviewer for the peer-review, the set time is longer than usual. |
||
Peer-review Procedure All work is by email, however depending on the reviewer’s circumstances it is possible to use fax or postal mail. As a general rule, the content of peer-review work will not be disclosed externally. The procedure for peer-review work is as follows: (1) Acceptance of submitted papers (2) Selection of reviewers (3) Notification of peer-review results (judgment) (4) Decision/Notification of acceptance |
||
Peer-review Criteria and Acceptance/Rejection Judgment | ||
Reviewers will make a fair and objective evaluation while giving due consideration to the research situation in the relevant field of the submitted paper, and will make a comprehensive acceptance/rejection decision anonymously. If the submitted manuscript requires revision, the author must revise the manuscript according to the reviewer’s instructions and submit the revised manuscript by the designated date. Revised manuscripts will be accepted if it is confirmed that they have been sufficiently revised. If the revision is insufficient, a request is made to the author for further revision. In principle, rewriting of sentences and revision of figures and tables after acceptance of the manuscript is not permitted. | ||
Publication Ethics | ||
as of June 27, 2024 | ||
Research Fraud Data forgery means that the researcher has forged the data, not the actual research. Data tampering means that a researcher conducted an experiment but modified some data. The editorial board also strives to check for fraud related to publishing ethics. |
||
Plagiarism Copying the ideas of other researchers without proper citation is considered plagiarism. Please write according to appropriate citation rules. In the review process, if it is judged necessary to have a plagiarism check, the editorial board uses the J-STAGE Similarity Check of “iThenticate” by Turnitin, LLC. |
||
Double Submission Simultaneous submission of the same paper, that is, "double submission" is prohibited, and in principle only "unpublished" submissions are allowed. Therefore, the same manuscript cannot be submitted to multiple journals at the same time, regardless of the language used. We do not accept manuscripts that simply change the language of almost the same research. In addition, we may refuse to accept papers that have been divided into manuscripts based on the same experiment. If it is determined that the submitted manuscript is a double submission, the review will be stopped at that point and the manuscript will be returned to the author as “rejected”. |
||
Authorship As a condition for becoming an author, it is necessary to contribute to research ideas, data acquisition, analysis, etc., and to cooperate in writing the manuscript. Having little involvement in the research, but putting in a name for authoritative purposes can be considered an ethical violation. Those who have provided support but have not contributed to the research should be featured in an acknowledgements section. We recommend that the number of listed authors should not exceed 5 persons. |
||
Approval of Ethical Review Research on humans must be based on the Helsinki Declaration of Human Rights, at which time informed consent must be approved by the institutional review board (or equivalent) of the institution to which the author belongs. If the research cannot be reviewed by the ethics committee of the research institution to which the researcher belongs, the researcher must comply with the ethical guidelines and other guidelines established by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology or the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan. In the paper, it is necessary to anonymize personal information, or to obtain written consent if sufficient anonymization is difficult. |
||
Personal Information Protection ISTR will use personal/corporate information only for the purpose of submitting a contribution. In addition, we recognize the importance of personal information and will comply with and follow the various laws and regulations in order to thoroughly protect such information. |
