Publication Frequency

01.Publication Frequency

Indonesian Tourism Journal (ITJ) is a peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal published by CV. Austronesia Akademika, Indonesia. The journal publishes original scholarship on tourism studies, destination development, sustainable tourism, tourism governance and policy, hospitality, cultural heritage, digital tourism, and related interdisciplinary fields.

ITJ publishes three regular issues annually (triannual publication), scheduled for May, August, and November. This schedule provides a consistent framework for editorial coordination, manuscript evaluation, and the dissemination of research findings to academics, practitioners, tourism stakeholders, and policymakers.

Official Publication Schedule

The regular publication cycle consists of Issue 1 in May, Issue 2 in August, and Issue 3 in November of each publication year. The exact release date within a scheduled month may vary depending on the completion of editorial and production processes.

02.Annual Publication Schedule

The following schedule represents ITJ’s three regular publication periods. Each issue contains scholarly contributions addressing topics within the journal’s tourism-oriented focus and scope.

ISSUE 01

May

First Regular Issue

The first scheduled issue of each publication year.

ISSUE 02

August

Second Regular Issue

The second scheduled issue of each publication year.

ISSUE 03

November

Third Regular Issue

The third scheduled issue of each publication year.

03.Editorial Processing and Publication Planning

Publication planning is supported by editorial screening, independent scholarly evaluation, manuscript revision, editorial decisions, copyediting, proofreading, layout preparation, and final online publication. ITJ applies a double-blind peer-review process, as described in its official peer-review policy.

Standard Editorial Workflow

01
Manuscript Submission

Authors submit manuscripts through the official ITJ Open Journal Systems platform in accordance with the journal’s author guidelines.

02
Initial Editorial Screening

Editors check thematic suitability, manuscript completeness, scientific relevance, and compliance with research and publication ethics.

03
Double-Blind Peer Review

Eligible manuscripts undergo confidential evaluation in which the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed from one another, in accordance with ITJ policy.

04
Revision and Editorial Decision

Authors address reviewer comments when revisions are requested; the responsible academic editor evaluates the manuscript and determines the editorial outcome.

05
Production and Publication

Accepted manuscripts proceed through editorial production, including copyediting, proofreading, layout and metadata preparation, before publication in an assigned issue.

Important Editorial Notice

Manuscript submission, completion of peer review, or a request to publish in a particular month does not guarantee acceptance or placement in that issue. Issue assignment depends on a final editorial acceptance decision, completion of required revisions, production readiness, and the journal’s publication arrangements. The regular schedule should not be interpreted as a guaranteed acceptance or processing deadline.

04.Special Issues and Additional Publications

In addition to its three regular issues, ITJ may consider special issues or thematic collections where these are proposed and approved through the appropriate editorial process. A special publication should address a clearly defined tourism-related scholarly theme and maintain the journal’s scientific and editorial standards.

Where special issues are organized, manuscripts remain subject to relevant editorial screening, impartial peer review, research integrity requirements, and final editorial decisions. The scheduling, scope, guest-editor arrangements, and publication of any special issue are determined through the journal’s official editorial channels.

Regular Frequency Remains Unchanged

The possibility of a special issue does not itself alter ITJ’s regular publication schedule of May, August, and November. Only officially announced and published special issues should be treated as part of the journal’s publication record.

05.Publication Archives and Article Accessibility

ITJ maintains an electronic publication archive on its official Open Journal Systems website. The archive provides access to previous volumes and issues, bibliographic details, article metadata, and available full-text documents. Readers may use these records to trace the journal’s publication history and cite published research accurately.
