AUTHOR GUIDELINES
The author(s) should ensure that the manuscripts have passed through professional proofreaders to guarantee the absence of grammatical issues. Authors for whom English is not their native language are encouraged to have their paper checked before submission for grammar and clarity. Please note that any papers which fail to meet our requirements will be returned to the author for amendment. Only manuscripts which are submitted in the correct style will be considered by the Editors.
A. BEFORE YOU SUBMIT
This journal uses a double anonymized peer review process, meaning that author identities are concealed from reviewers and vice versa. Authors are strongly encouraged to read the instructions and checklist before preparing their manuscript. Using the Jurnal Kepariwisataan official template and checklist will significantly reduce formatting problems and desk rejection during the editorial screening stage.

B. MANUSCRIPT STRUCTURE
Full-length research papers report completed research studies and must demonstrate clear academic contributions. Research articles should:
- Recommended manuscript length: 5,000 – 10,000 words (including references).
- Present original theoretical or methodological contributions.
- Demonstrate rigorous research design.
- Provide implications for tourism or hospitality.
- Studies based solely on single convenience-sample surveys are unlikely to be considered for review.
- For scale development studies, authors are expected to apply the developed scale in a theory-driven research study, rather than presenting scale validation alone.
Authors should structure their manuscript using the sections below:
1. Title
The title should:
- Be concise, clear, and informative
- Contain no more than 12 words
- Avoid uncommon abbreviations
- Clearly represent the research focus
- The main research idea should appear at the beginning of the title, followed by its explanation.
2. Abstract
The abstract must:
- Be written in English
- Be presented in one paragraph
- Contain a maximum of 250 words
- The abstract should briefly include: Research background, Research objectives, Research methods, Key findings, and Main conclusions.
- Abstracts should be self-contained and able to stand alone.
- Avoid references and uncommon abbreviations whenever possible.
3. Keywords
Keywords should:
- 1–6 keywords
- Be written in English
- Represent important concepts from the article
- Avoid long phrases when possible
- Avoid the use of “and” or “of”
- Only widely recognized abbreviations should be used.
4. Introduction
The introduction should include:
- General background of the study
- Brief literature overview (state of the art)
- Identification of research gaps
- Research problem or research questions
- Research objectives
- Brief explanation of the research method
- The introduction should clearly explain why the study is important for tourism and hospitality research.
- In the final part of the introduction, the purpose of the article writing should be stated.
5. Literature Review
The literature review summarizes and critically discusses existing research related to the topic. This section should:
- Present relevant theoretical foundations
- Review previous empirical research
- Identify research gaps
- Develop hypotheses or research propositions
- The literature review should clearly demonstrate how the present study contributes to academic discussions in tourism and hospitality management.
6. Methodology
This section should describe the research design clearly and concisely so the study can be replicated. Include:
- Research approach or design
- Study context and sample
- Data collection procedures
- Research instruments and measurements
- Data analysis techniques
- In statistical analysis, commonly known formulas do not need to be written. However, specific criteria used for data collection and analysis must be clearly explained.
7. Result and Discussion
This section presents the findings of the study, author should:
- Present results clearly using tables or figures where appropriate
- Provide sufficient data to support findings
- Explain how the results answer the research questions or hypotheses
The discussion should address:
- How the results relate to the research objectives
- Scientific interpretation of the findings
- Comparison with previous research
- Explanation of similarities or differences with existing studies
8. Conclusions
The conclusion should:
- Directly answer the research objectives
- Highlight the key research findings
- Explain theoretical contributions
- Provide practical implications for tourism or hospitality
- The conclusion should not simply repeat the results or abstract.
Authors should also:
- Identify research limitations
- Suggest directions for future research
9. References
All sources cited in the manuscript must appear in the reference list with requirements as follow:
- Use APA 7th edition citation style
- At least 80% of references should be journal articles
- Preferably from the last five years
- Include DOI numbers whenever available. Before submission, ensure that all reference data (author names, titles, journal names, year, volume, pages, DOI) are correct.
- Accurate references help ensure proper indexing in databases such as Scopus, Crossref, and other indexing services.
- Please use Reference Manager Applications like EndNote, Mendeley, Zotero, etc.
10. Author Contributions (CRediT)
Authors must indicate contributions using the CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy). Possible roles include:
- Conceptualization
- Data curation
- Formal analysis
- Funding acquisition
- Investigation
- Methodology
- Project administration
- Resources
- Software
- Supervision
- Validation
- Visualization
- Writing – original draft
- Writing – review and editing
Not all CRediT roles will apply to every manuscript and some authors may contribute through multiple roles. We advise you to read more about CRediT and view an example of a CRediT author statement.
11. Appendices
- We ask you to use the following format for appendices:
- Identify individual appendices within your article using the format: A, B, etc.
- Give separate numbering to formulae and equations within appendices using formats such as Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc. and in subsequent appendices, Eq. (B.1), Eq. (B. 2) etc.
- In a similar way, give separate numbering to tables and figures using formats such as Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.
