Launch of the Journal of Destination Marketing & Management – Friday 6 January, 2012
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the forthcoming launch of Elsevier’s new Journal of Destination Marketing & Management (JDMM), which aims to be the leading international journal for the study of tourist destinations by providing a critical understanding of all aspects of their marketing and management, as situated in their particular policy, planning, economic, geographical and historical contexts.
The objective of JDMM is to publish up-to-date, high-quality and original research papers alongside relevant and insightful reviews. As such, the journal aspires to be vibrant, engaging and accessible, and at the same time integrative and challenging. Those involved in the interdisciplinary approach of marketing and management, economic development and planning, geography, sociology, psychology, anthropology, retailing, policy making and public administration of tourist destinations will find the journal of particular interest.
Each issue of the journal will contain three types of papers. The first, Regional Spotlights (approx. 1,000 words), will provide a short contemporary and provocative “opinion piece” on an issue or synthesis of issues pertinent to the marketing and management of destinations in a specified region. The second, Critical Reviews (approx. 8,000 words), will provide a critical and concise yet comprehensive and contemporary review of a particular theme specific to the marketing and management of destinations. The third and final type of paper, Research Papers (between 6,000 and 8,000 words), will be more traditional in form and will demonstrate a sound theoretical and/or methodological underpinning and a clear contribution to knowledge in the field. While the first two types of papers will be “by invitation”, the third will be open to all. All types of papers, however, will be subject to the journal’s double-blind review process.
For inclusion in the first issue of the journal it is highly desirable for papers to be received for double-blind review prior to the end of February 2012, with the system for submission going live on Friday 6 January 2012. Needless to say, any papers that you wish to submit, either individually or collaboratively, are much appreciated and would make a substantial contribution to the early development and success of the journal.
Best wishes and thank you in advance for your potential contribution to the early success of the Journal of Destination Marketing & Management.
Dr Alan Fyall, Editor-in-Chief
Dr Brian Garrod and Dr Youcheng Wang, Co-Editors
