Guidelines for Conference Sponsorship or Support
Like many journals, Tourism Geographies often received invitations to be be a sponsor or supporter of academic conferences related to the journals mission. We are happy to do this, with the following considerations in mind.
Please contact the Editor-in-Chief, Alan Lew, if you have questions or would like to further pursue having Tourism Geographies listed as a supporter of your conference or other academic event.
- If you would like to propose a Special Issue based on papers from your conference or event, then you must follow the guidelines above for Regular Special Issues. The proposal requires that you have clearly identify potential authors and the papers they will be presenting at your event, and confirm their interest in submitting a full paper to Tourism Geographies.
- Please consider creating a Virtual Special Issue, based on the guidelines above, which could be made open access prior to and during your conference or event. This could provide a basis for discussions and context for your event, although its feasibility would depend on the topic and how well it has been covered in past issues of Tourism Geographies.
- You can also simply encourage authors to submit their individual papers to Tourism Geographies, without a special issue focus in mind. Some conference organizers have provided a pre-editing and review service for papers before they are formally submitted to Tourism Geographies, which can be helpful to many authors. These papers, however, will be treated by the journal's editors in the same way as any other independently submitted paper that the journal receives. Conference organizers are cautioned to no imply to authors there their paper will be part of a special issue or will otherwise receive any special considerations.
Please contact the Editor-in-Chief, Alan Lew, if you have questions or would like to further pursue having Tourism Geographies listed as a supporter of your conference or other academic event.
