About this journal
Aims and scope
Anatolia is a truly international tourism and hospitality research journal with considerable interest worldwide. It aims to provide an international platform for innovative studies that make a significant contribution to the understanding, practice, and education of tourism and hospitality operations. It does so through the publication of high-quality, up-to-date and timely research papers. The Journal also serves as a unique forum for the publication of case studies for instructional use in local, national and global settings.
Anatolia seeks to widen the limits of tourism and hospitality research by stimulating the submission of papers from both inter- and multi-disciplinary perspectives. The Journal invites contributions related to the following subjects and their applications in tourism and hospitality: marketing; management; economics; consumer behavior; culture; methodology; sustainability; IT applications; food operations; planning and development; financial management; gender issues; ethics; entrepreneurship; education; and future trends.
The Journal seeks high-quality submissions and welcomes original scientific research, reviews, research notes, case studies, conference notes, book reviews, portraits, editorials, and commentaries.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
