Bu makale, turizm araştırmaları alanının içerisinden ve dışından yapılan alıntıları karşılaştırmaktadır. İçerik için, Annals of Tourism Research dergisinden (1-30. ciltler arası) alman ve 1254 adet referans girdisinden sistematik ve tabakalı bir örneklem kullanılmıştır.

Tek bir derginin kullanılmış olmasının getirebileceği sınırlamalara rağmen, seçile aracı için belirlenmiş olan alıntı modellerinin, turizmin bir bilimdalı olarak olgunlaşma sürecine ışık tuta düşünülmektedir.
