ABSTRACT

The peer review process is an important part of the academic research process; yet, little is known about the perceptions of the process held by those who participate in it, including within the hospitality and tourism discipline. This study surveyed hospitality and tourism scholars to determine their views of the peer review process. Most of those surveyed were involved in the peer review process in several roles; valued a truly double-blind, timely review process; and overall did not think that the review process in the hospitality and tourism discipline is unethical or deteriorating. However, while the survey results indicated that hospitality and tourism scholars had relatively positive views of the peer review process in their field, they felt that the process could be improved.

摘要

同行评审过程是学术研究过程的重要组成部分；然而，人们对参与过程的看法知之甚少，包括酒店和旅游学科。本研究调查了酒店和旅游学者，以确定他们对同行评审过程的看法。大多数接受调查的人以多种角色参与同行评审过程；重视真正的双盲、及时的审查过程；并且总体不认为酒店和旅游学科的审查过程不道德或恶化。然而，虽然调查结果表明酒店和旅游学者对其领域的同行评审过程持相对积极的看法，但他们认为该过程可以改进。
