Population
A sample of academics was framed by including all tourism management academics at the rank of professor and associate professor in Australia and New Zealand plus, using a judgement sample, determining a cohort of senior lecturers within Australia and New Zealand. In Europe, North America and Asia, a judgement sampling technique was also used to construct a list of academics at the rank of professor and associate professor. To be included in this sample, academics had to be dedicated to tourism management research, teaching and/or a managerial role responsible for tourism management programs, and have current or past editorial board experience in one or more of the journals in the field. Consequently, twenty academics were
deemed to meet the study criteria.
Instrument Design
This study has been based on the weighting criteria developed by Polonsky and Whitelaw (2005). The four criteria used by Polonsky and Whitelaw include:
• Prestige of Journal;
• Contribution to Theory;
• Contribution to Practice; and
• Contribution to Teaching.
