Abstract

This study evaluates the intellectual structure of 16 Brazilian tourism journals via bibliographic coupling (scientific journals), by citating and co-citating references from 3,887 articles, totaling 108,595 entries. It seeks to ‘map’ and present an overview of this intellectual structure, analyzing the ranking of the most cited journals. Results show a continuous increase in the mean and median of references per article and a significant increase of journal articles in its composition leading the bibliographic coupling to increasingly reveal the intellectual structure. The ranking is dominated by the main international tourism journals and some of the journals selected for this research. Tourism Management, Annals of Tourism Research, Turismo em Análise, Revista Turismo – Visão e Ação and Journal of Travel Research are the main journals. The network comprises the following clusters: a) Cluster 4 (41 journals) occupies the core of the network, and consists predominantly of high-impact international tourism journals, followed by titles in administration, hospitality and marketing; b) Cluster 1 (16 journals) encompasses ten of the 16 Brazilian tourism journals in this research, and has a certain peripheral character in relation to Cluster 4; c) Cluster 2 (seven journals) is the smallest and most peripheral of the network, composed exclusively of management journals; d) Cluster 3 (15 journals) comprises marketing and hospitality journals form in its core, followed by administration and services journals. As the main gaps in the intellectual structure, we found few social science and leisure journals.
