Mapping Literacies in the Tourism Labor Market: A Cross-Database Comparison (2402.15426v2)

Abstract: This book chapter conducts a comparative bibliometric analysis of literacies in the tourism labor market, drawing from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases. The objective is to assess scientific outputs and identify key patterns of scientific collaboration. Findings suggest a statistically significant difference between the two databases with an overlap level of 35.71%. However, there is a gradual and correlated increase in the number of publications over time. Scopus stands out for its broader impact and enduring citation relevance, suggesting its academic contributions have a longer-lasting effect. Conversely, WoS is characterized by a focus on more recent influential publications and exhibits a marginally more intense collaboration network.
