An Analysis of Research Trends in Journal of Tourism & Industry Research : Using Content and Meta Analysis

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to analyze the past research trends of mountain climbing in order to establish the status as a representative professional Journal of Tourism & Industry Research in Jeju National University. It is expected that it will be able to lay the foundation for the utilization of the subsequent research by examining the applicability of the new research methodology. Research design, data, and methodology - The data to be used in the analysis of this study are the results of a total of 322 journals. In this study, content analysis and meta analysis for semantic network analysis is performed in parallel. NVivo 11 pro is used to clearly identify which of the final classical research articles were extracted and incorporated into existing studies. In addition, KH Coder 3, an open source program, was applied to the study to conduct a meta-analysis on the research subjects. Results - In the research methodology, the proportion of quantitative research is 53.7% (173), which is higher than the qualitative research (143, 45.3%). First, despite the multidisciplinary approach and diversity of research topics, there was a lack of originality and symbolism in the actual research content. Secondly, it has been studied variously in the research subject mainly tourism industry such as tourism, service, industry, marketing, strategy, system, development, performance, relationship, satisfaction. Third, the classification of research is divided into service performance and quality, customer satisfaction , strategy , marketing , and tourism development industry Conclusions - In this study, two future directions are presented as follows. First, we need to establish a foundation for multidisciplinary academic journals through mixing and expanding research themes. It is necessary to establish a foundation to actively reflect the demand for new disciplines by broadly expanding within a wide range of directions without limiting the specific areas of each discipline. Secondly, technological aspects that coexist on the socio-cultural background should not be overlooked either. It is suggested that a special strategy should be prepared to present an insight into the problems of the complex intertwined community and to become a fused - journals centered on tourism.
