Rating the hospitality journals

Abstract

A survey of directors at four year hospitality programs, who were CHRIE members, rated the quality of 15 refereed and 31 nonrefereed journals. Most of the refereed journals were rated higher than nonrefereed journals. Thirty seven percent of the respondents reported that a hierarchical ranking of refereed journals existed at their institution and was used when evaluating the publications of faculty. The difference in ratings was examined between graduate and undergraduate only program directors.
