Three different types of studies can be submitted to our journal: theoretical, empirical (applied / experimental) and case studies from tourism businesses.

Theoretical studies; are the studies that present suggestions to tourism enterprises by synthesizing the literature written on a subject. In these studies, the conclusion and suggestions part are important.


Empirical (applied) studies; These are studies prepared by collecting data from tourism enterprises with scientific data collection techniques on a subject. The important part in these studies is the findings, discussion and suggestion sections. Therefore, it is recommended that the authors keep the literature and method sections short.


Case studies in the sector; These are the studies explaining how top and middle level managers in tourism businesses solve a problem they encounter in their businesses (such as crisis or personnel turnover rate etc.), how they apply a new management technique (eg total quality etc.) and how they have achieved an organizational change in their businesses. In these studies, what the managers learned from their experiences and their suggestions on this matter are important. Journal editors and editorial assistants will show the necessary support for writing and editing to managers who wish to submit this type of study. In addition, academics can prepare and send this type of study in the form of articles or interviews with a manager from the sector.

Note: The ethics committee approval must be obtained for the studies sent to our Soid journal and this approval must also be documented.
Note: Our journal has requested an Extended Summary for the candidate studies to be sent as of 2020. The extended abstract should be between 600 and 800 words. The extended abstract should be in English and should include Purpose, Background, Method, Findings, Results, (27 April 2020).
