This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.

The Journal publishes two main classes of articles: full-length articles of approximately 5,000 words (15-25 pages, double-spaced), and short research notes/reports/reviews of about 1,500 words (5-10 pages, double-spaced). References, citations, and general style of manuscripts for this Journal should follow the APA style (as outlined in the latest edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association). References should be placed in alphabetical order.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a means of making your article more visible to anyone who might be looking for it. Please consult our guidance here.

 

*Important*
To facilitate the double blind review process, authors are instructed to include their names, academic titles and degrees, current affiliations, mailing addresses, and contact information (telephone and fax numbers with the country and city code, and e-mail when available) only on the cover page. Any information which identifies the author(s) should not appear elsewhere in the manuscript.

Once the manuscript is accepted for publication, at least one of the authors is required to join the membership of the Asia Pacific Tourism Association with full membership dues (current membership dues are US$100 annually, which includes an annual subscription to APJTR).

 

ARTWORKS: Tables, figures and illustrations must be submitted camera-ready so that they can be used either exactly as they are or after a photographic reduction in size. (Please note that dot-matrix type is often unacceptable for artwork). If submitted art cannot be used, the Publishing Office reserves the right to redo the art and to charge the author a fee of US$30.00 per hour for this service. The Publishing Office is not responsible for errors incurred in the preparation of new camera-ready artwork.
