For Librarians

01.Welcome to ITJ Librarians

The Indonesian Tourism Journal (ITJ) invites university, research, public, and specialist librarians to include the journal in institutional electronic-resource listings and to support the discovery, citation, responsible reuse, and long-term accessibility of its publications. ITJ is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by CV. Austronesia Akademika, Indonesia.

The journal disseminates scholarly research on tourism policy and governance, destination development, sustainability and ecotourism, hospitality, heritage, tourism marketing, innovation, and the participation of communities in tourism. Libraries can make this research more discoverable to students, academics, policymakers, practitioners, and the wider public by providing accurate catalogue records and stable links to the official journal site.

02.Journal Identity and Library Cataloging Metadata

Accurate bibliographic records help users distinguish ITJ from similarly titled publications and locate the authoritative version of each article. Librarians preparing catalogue, discovery, or electronic journal holdings records may use the journal-level details below; item-specific fields should always be checked against the article page and published PDF.

03.Discovery, Linking, and Electronic Journal Holdings

ITJ provides public pathways to its current issue, earlier issues, and article discovery tools. Libraries may add the journal to electronic journal portals, subject guides, institutional discovery services, and curated reading lists, while referring users to the journal’s official OJS records for full publication details.

Suggested Library Discovery Practices

1. Journal holdings: Record the correct title, both ISSNs, publisher, open-access status, website, and current publication schedule.
2. Article-level discovery: Include the verified article title, author names, publication year, volume, issue, pages, and complete DOI when available.
3. Persistent linking: Use the official landing page or DOI in public catalogues, reading lists, and reference services.
4. Metadata quality: Recheck article metadata and link resolution periodically; avoid inventing fields or copying incomplete citation details.
5. Harvesting and interoperability: Contact ITJ to confirm any OAI-PMH endpoint, metadata formats, usage conditions, or service configuration before describing them as available.

04.Open Access, Copyright, and Institutional Repositories

ITJ makes its published articles publicly available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0). Authors retain copyright and grant the journal the right of first publication. Librarians may guide users in lawful sharing, teaching, citation, and repository deposit in accordance with the license and the journal’s copyright policy.

05.Digital Preservation and Archival Continuity

The ITJ Archives provide online access to published issues and article records. Separately, its OJS platform offers public LOCKSS and CLOCKSS Publisher Manifests that communicate archival information and permissions for eligible content. These mechanisms are relevant to library preservation planning and long-term scholarly access.

06.Reader Services, Learning Support, and Notifications

Librarians can facilitate the responsible use of ITJ research by adding the journal to tourism research guides, teaching reference management and citation, and assisting readers with searches, persistent links, and openly licensed content. These activities support teaching, evidence-based tourism practice, and independent scholarship.

07.Library Collaboration and Official Assistance

ITJ welcomes appropriate enquiries from libraries and academic information services concerning catalogue details, journal listings, citation links, access issues, metadata corrections, repository questions, and the discovery of published tourism research. Official editorial and administrative contacts are published on the journal website.

Recommended Contact and Collaboration Workflow

1. Identify the request: State whether the question concerns a journal holding, specific article, metadata field, persistent DOI, accessibility issue, repository deposit, or preservation arrangement.
2. Provide precise references: Include the journal URL and, when relevant, the full article title, publication issue, article URL, DOI, and a description of the issue.
3. Use the official contact channel: Send the request through the ITJ contact information so the editorial team can direct it appropriately.
4. Maintain verified records: Revise institutional catalogue entries only after checking the official publication record or receiving an authoritative clarification.
