Submission Guidelines

Established in 1976, the Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research ( JHTR ) plays a major role in incubating, influencing, and inspiring hospitality and tourism research. JHTR publishes original research that clearly advances theoretical development and offers practical value for hospitality and tourism ecosystems. JHTR strives to publish research with IMPACT – JHTR publications are expected to be I nnovative, M eaningful, P ractically relevant, A cademically rigorous, C ross-disciplinary, and T heory-focused. Read the complete description of our guiding editorial principles .

This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

We follow the guiding editorial principles of IMPACT – JHTR publications are expected to be Innovative, Meaningful, Practically relevant, Academically rigorous, Cross-disciplinary, and Theory-focused.

Innovative – JHTR strives to be an incubator for original and thought-provoking research. To be considered for JHTR publication, the manuscript must provide new and insightful ways of exploring and conceptualizing an issue; offer different, unique, or controversial perspectives on a research topic; and/or bring together ideas, theories, and concepts in novel and thought-provoking ways. We particularly welcome cutting-edge research that inspires, provokes, excites, and engages our audiences. Research that simply replicates previous work in a different context or geographical location is not generally considered as making a significant contribution unless it presents novel perspectives or interprets the findings in ways that expand our understanding of the phenomena. Likewise, if incremental extensions in the form of replicating previous work with the addition of some elements do not significantly alter the prediction or application of a theory, contribution to knowledge creation is likely limited. Methodological novelty or sophistication in and of itself cannot compensate for inadequate theoretical and practical merits. Interesting research may take many forms, but the surest methods for creating such research is to challenge a commonly accepted theory, proposition, practice, or assumption, or examine new phenomena with a goal to generate new knowledge.

Meaningful – JHTR contributions should appeal to a broad range of academic and non-academic audiences and address issues that are meaningful and significant to scholars as well as non-academic stakeholders such as practitioners, policy makers and/or consumers in hospitality and tourism and related fields. Work published in JHTR may also strive to demonstrate the societal impact of the findings. Studies addressing key societal challenges as related to hospitality and tourism are of particular interest to the JHTR readership.

Practically relevant – Research articles published in JHTR should have practical relevance. Authors must clearly address the “so what” question by highlighting the managerial and policy implications of their research. Although research findings should have translational impact on firms, destinations, communities, governments, society and beyond, submissions that are primarily practitioner-oriented and written with industry managers as the target audience may be more suitable for a practitioner journal.

Academically rigorous – JHTR contributions must be conceptually and methodologically rigorous. Research published in JHTR should have progressed through a rigorous, proper, and stringent knowledge development process that ensures that the output is academically sound. At the conceptual level, authors must identify a clear theoretical approach and articulate how the research advances our understanding of particular topics, concepts, or theories. We welcome a variety of methodological approaches, as appropriate to the research conducted. For quantitative research, authors should provide detailed information pertaining to data collection, sampling strategies, survey design, experimental manipulations, and measurement. Qualitative research should be conducted under the tenets of a specified research tradition. Regardless of the approach, all methodologies should be described in a manner that allows for replication and the research demonstrate evidence of reliability and validity in their corresponding methodological traditions.

Cross-disciplinary – Hospitality and tourism research is often enriched by exploring phenomena through the lens of other disciplines. Likewise, hospitality and tourism offer interesting and rich contexts that can help to shape the content and boundaries of studies in allied fields. Accordingly, where applicable, JHTR supports and encourages cross-disciplinary collaborations as well as contributions from scholars in other disciplines.

Theory-focused – JHTR strives to be a powerhouse for the cultivation of concepts, frameworks, models and theories that extend our understanding of relevant hospitality and tourism phenomena and inform the direction of future research. We particularly encourage and champion the development of theories and frameworks that originate from the hospitality and tourism field. Accordingly, contributing authors should pay particular attention to the interplay between concepts and contexts to create opportunities for theory building that captures the complexities, intricacies, and dynamics of hospitality and tourism phenomena.

New professor brings behavioral and social science perspective to Department of Hospitality, Hotel Management and Tourism

Gip background in tourism, organizational leadership and instruction will benefit students.

January 9, 2024 - by Paul Schattenberg

With a diverse background in the tourism industry and college-level instruction, Robert “Rob” Gip, Ph.D., brings new perspectives on hospitality and tourism leadership to his position as an assistant professor in the Department of Hospitality, Hotel Management and Tourism in the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences , Bryan-College Station.

Head shot of Robert Gip, Ph.D.He is wearing a plaid tie with a white collared shirt and a dark sport coat.

Gip is integrating his research and teaching interests to benefit the department and its students across the domains of human resources management, organizational behavior, leadership, employee health and well-being, and cross-cultural and community studies.

“We are fortunate to have recruited a talent such as Dr. Gip into our department who brings depth of knowledge in the behavioral and social sciences, public administration and hospitality management,” said Brian King, Ph.D., head of the Department of Hospitality, Hotel Management and Tourism. “He is providing the department with new perspectives and insights into hospitality and tourism leadership, particularly about how psychological safety, knowledge sharing and proactive work behaviors contribute to service organizations.”

Gip earned his doctorate in hospitality administration from the Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership at the University of Houston. He earned a master’s degree in hospitality and tourism management, a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies with a focus on behavioral and social sciences, and a certificate in event management, all from Rosen College of Hospitality Management at the University of Central Florida, Orlando.

Experience in service and hospitality industries

Gip’s early professional experience included roles as assistant cafe and bakery manager and day spa manager. After this, he was a logistics coordinator at Lowe & Behold in Orlando, a golf attendant at Disney’s Magnolia Golf Course, an event concierge at Hyatt Orlando and a human services worker at Tacachale Developmental Disability Center in Gainesville.

He said a common thread through all of these experiences was his desire to help others, develop a positive work environment, and to identify and fulfill client needs.

“Throughout my industry tenure, my goal has consistently been to ensure that hospitality and tourism organizations prioritize the well-being and value of guests but, more importantly, their employees, as this directly affects their ability to provide high-quality service,” Gip said.

Gip said he is appreciative of the warm welcome and support he has received from members of the department who are renowned in their respective fields and roles.

“The support I’ve received from the department, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and Texas A&M in general has been invaluable, and I hope to reflect and embody this support in my research and teaching,” he said. “I plan to use this opportunity to enhance my research, teaching and service with the goal of adding meaningful contributions to the already impressive track record of achievements of the department.”

Hospitality and tourism teaching experience

At the Rosen College of Hospitality Management, Gip was a teaching assistant for multiple undergraduate courses, including Introduction to Hospitality and Tourism, Hospitality and Tourism Marketing and Guest Services Management. He also taught undergraduate human resource management courses for hybrid in-person and online classroom sessions at the Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership.

At Texas A&M, he is scheduled to teach Global Communities and Diverse Populations in Hospitality and Tourism in the spring.

‘My teaching philosophy revolves around creating a dynamic classroom community where knowledge is shared between students and myself,” he said. “I aim to blend engaging content with adaptable teaching methods to foster motivation through student-centered project-based learning that promotes engagement and a sense of fun throughout the class.”

Gip said an important goal in his teaching will be to recognize and respect individual differences that can provide new perspectives for classmates and influence student interactions throughout their academic and professional careers.

“This approach promotes fairness, cohesion, reciprocity and honesty in the educator-student relationship and among students, which enhances their education and better prepares them for hospitality careers,” Gip said “I aspire to make a positive impact and be a part of each student’s success story.”

Further academic activities and affiliations

In the capacity of invited lecturer or presenter, Gip has shared his recreation and tourism related research on reliability, validity, leadership and effective employee performance management.

He has refereed numerous journal articles and is an editorial board member for the international journal Tourism, Culture and Communication . He also serves as an ad hoc reviewer for the International Journal of Hospitality Management , International Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Administration , Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management and International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Managemen t .

At the University of Central Florida, Gip was a member of the National Society of Leadership and Success and the National Association for Catering and Events.
