| description | The introduction of social network techniques in scholarly research
analysis has driven a better understanding of the main authors and their
debates. These tools have improved the traditional bibliographic models
considerably. The present analysis applied the centrality indicators from
social network analysis to first-tier journal articles (index: Journal Citation
Reports (SSE)). The results revealed that journal specialization within the
tourism theme is consistently in line with their editorial line, with minor
issues detected. When it comes to academic debate, however, the topics
are not concentrated homogenously. The authors at the center of the
debate are not always the most prolific, yet it turns out that co-authoring
helps them to gain central positions within the debate |
