Publications
Goodfellow Publishers is an independent international publisher of academic and professional books and online materials. The team has created an original model of responsive publishing combining the best of traditional practice with quick-to-market digital delivery. At the core of this is our commitment to sustainable publishing with the lowest possible environmental impact. They were an obvious choice for our series on Responsible Tourism
The first title was published in May 2011:
Harold Goodwin (2011) Taking Responsibility for Tourism
November 2011 saw the publication of the first edition of Progress in Responsible Tourism which is published twice a year in November and June.
Progress in Responsible Tourism Vol 1 (1)
Contributions are welcome in three categories
Practitioner Papers
Written by those actively engaged in managing tourism or implement Responsible Tourism approaches – 2,000 to 4,000 words with references primarily to grey literature.
Academic Papers
Traditional papers with full academic referencing 5,000- 8,000 words
Work in Progress – Notes from the Field
Reports on new initiatives, work underway or brief comment pieces. Limited referencing, 400-1,500 words.
We anticipate that there will be a section listing new publications and sources relevant to Responsible Tourism.
Progress in Responsible Tourism will also carry each year, in November, a report on the winners and the highly commended in the annual Virgin Holiday Responsible Tourism Awards.
Progress in Responsible Tourism is published in November to coincide with World Travel Market, this reflects our intention that the journal should be of interest to the industry, academics and policymakers. Referencing: traditional footnotes, not Harvard this is to make the papers more accessible to a non-academic readership.
Practitioner Papers will be reviewed by the editors. Academic Papers will be blind peer reviewed. Work in Progress and Notes from the Field will be reviewed by the editors. The Journal has an advisory board which has the same composition as the ICRT’s Advisory Committee.
If you would like to contribute to the second edition to be published in June 2012 please write with a brief abstract to Harold Goodwin or Xavier Font.
