Instructions for Contributors

Manuscript submission: Authors should submit their manuscripts online https://tri.scholasticahq.com
Follow the guidelines below to prepare the manuscript, figures, and tables.

When submitting a manuscript, authors need to upload/provide the following:
• Cover letter (The cover letter should indicate that the manuscript is original and is not currently under review at another journal).
• Title page (with authors information)
• Abstract
• Keywords
Main File (Entire manuscript without authors information)

When you submit your files, there are two options:
Main File (the entire manuscript without authors information) goes under the Primary Manuscript file. Only one file is allowed under the Primary File. Everything else, such as cover letter, title page with authors information and survey instrument, should be submitted under the Supporting Files.

General manuscript preparation: Manuscripts should be submitted as a Word document, double spaced, with all pages numbered. The main file should not include the authors information because the main file (manuscripts) are sent out for blind review. Include figures and tables at the end of the main file or provide figures and tables in a separate file attachment. Do not incorporate the figures and tables within the manuscript text. Main and secondary headings should be clearly identifiable.
A typical research paper should be 7,000-9,000 words, inclusive of tables, references, and figures.
A research note should be 2,000-2,500 words.

Title page: This should contain the title, all author names and corresponding affiliation(s) for each author, which includes Department, Institution, City (State), Country. The corresponding author must be clearly designated and a complete mailing address and email address for the corresponding author must be included (phone and fax numbers are optional). A short title should also be included. Indicate article type (Full research article, Research Note, Commentary).

** Cover Letter:** The letter should confirm that the manuscript has not been published before, that it is not presently under consideration for inclusion in any publication, and that it will not be submitted elsewhere until Tourism Review International has completed its review process.

Abstract: Provide an abstract of 150-200 words.
It should contain an abbreviated representation of the content of the manuscript. Major results, conclusions, and/or recommendations should be given, followed by supporting details of method, scope, or purpose as appropriate.

** Keywords:**
Supply 5 to 7 keywords suitable for indexing.

Text: Clearly indicate all main and subheadings. Follow the APA Publication Manual (6th edition) guidelines for citing references in the text (see below) and for the reference list. All figures and tables must be cited in the text in the order in which they appear (do not incorporate figures and tables within the body of the text). The file should be arranged as: title-only cover page, title page (with names and affiliations), abstract and key words, main body text, reference list, figure legends, tables, and figures (or provide figures and tables in a separate file).

References: The reference list should be arranged in alphabetical order. Follow APA Publication Manual (6th edition) for text and reference list citations, per the examples below. Include in the reference list only those cited in the text and ensure that all text citations have an entry in the reference list.

Text citations: (Gunn, 1990) or (Fesenmaier et al., 1994; Mazanec, 1992, 1993; Uysal & Gitelson, 1994) or (Crompton, 1979, p. 411) (for quoted material). Note that names are to be alphabetical within the parenthetical, NOT by date order.

Figures: All figures should be provided in .doc, .jpg, .tif, or .pdf format, at high resolution. Do not incorporate figures within the text of the manuscript. Figures should be prepared without color unless the figure is to be printed in color (note there is a charge for printingfigures in color). Avoid light shading that will not reproduce well. Labeling and figure detail must be large enough to be legible after reduction to fit page parameters. Each figure must be cited in the text and legends for all illustrations should be included at the end of the manuscript file. Do not incorporate the figure legend or figure number as part of the figure itself.

Tables: Table material should not duplicate the text. Include each table on a separate page at the end of the manuscript or as a separate file. Include a title for each table (do not incorporate tables within the text of the manuscript). Avoid overly wide or long tables that would not fit printed page parameters.
