PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITIES

For fully refereed conference papers (4,000-5,000 words), these will be published in full in the conference proceedings.  The conference proceedings will be published and distributed online during and through the conference channels. Authors of full papers are obliged to have their full manuscript published in the conference proceedings. For working papers, authors have the option to publish the working paper in its entirety or publish only the paper abstract. Authors of full and working papers will be required to give their permission (sign a transfer of copyright agreement) to have their full manuscript published in the conference proceedings.

A handbook of abstracts with an ISBN will be published including the abstracts from all the full and working papers presented at the conference. Authors of full and working papers will be required to give their permission (sign a transfer of copyright agreement) to have the abstract of their manuscript published in the handbook of abstracts. The handbook will be promoted online and through the CAUTHE media channels and social media.

For prospective authors considering post-conference publication plans, there will be a conference special issue of the Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Management to which authors of selected full and working papers will be invited to submit a paper. For authors of a full conference paper, the manuscript would need to be significantly expanded upon and revised to adhere to JHTM’s author guidelines and paper word limit (6,000-8,000 words). Excellent quality conference papers will be selected for submission and potential publication in the special issue. All selected papers will go through a double-blind review process managed by the special issue editors and the editor-in-chief of the journal. Papers submitted to the special issue will need to comply with the submission guidelines and quality standards of the JHTM.
