Abstract

The gradual growth of international tourism literature has caused the emergence of curiosity to what extent countries contribute to these studies and who are the top publishers. The main purpose of the study is to determine the contributions of Turkish authors to the international tourism literature. For this reason, the publications of Turkish authors from the first issue of the journal to the end of 2018 in 36 tourism journals were analyzed according to the determined bibliometric parameters. As a result of the research, it was revealed that a significant part of the publication production in the field of international tourism was made by certain researchers and the citations were collected by these authors.
