Resumen de Analyzing U.S. Hospitality Faculty's Research Output

Misty M. Johanson, Robert H. Woods

• This study evaluates U.S. hospitality faculty's research output across all academic levels covering over nine outlets in which their work appears. The study suggests that when faculty develop research goals and objectives or when administration considers: merit pay, promotion/tenure, or post tenure review, that they not necessarily focus on the sheer number of research outputs produced, but rather the depth, scope, complexity and quality of the research published across all outlets. This study evaluates these research characteristics in terms of: the quality and contribution of the research produced, the specific outlet in which the publication appears, and whether or not the research published is individual or co/multi-authored.
