A Credible Source

Along the same topic as the last post, the next credible source about technology and travel is the Journal of Information Technology and Travel. This journal brings together tourism and information technology because there have been many “advances in the use and development of tools, technologies, and methodologies that have facilitated the efficient netting of information and communication systems in travel and tourism,” (Source). Every article submitted to the journal goes through a process of peer review by at least two reviewers. These peer reviews add to the credibility of the journal because it adds to the legitimacy of each article.

The journal, which has been published since 1998, “focuses both on academia perspectives and practical applications,” (Source). This means that they have articles that use empirical evidence to support a theory or hypothesis developed by the author. It also means that they have articles that relate to the average person that can use the information for their everyday lives. The Journal of Information Technology and Travel is relevant to both researchers and everyday people because of the fact that they focus on practical applications in addition to academia perspectives. The reason why this journal is better than most, which mainly focus only on the academia perspective, is because it is not only relevant to a select group of people. For these reasons, the Journal of Information Technology and Travel is a relevant and credible source for information about technology and travel.
