I have recently checked my Google Scholar profile and I was delighted to see that one of my papers has received a landmark number of citations – 500.
The paper was published in 2014 in co-authorship with Professors Scott Cohen (formerly at BU and now at the University of Surrey, UK) and Girish Prayag (University of Canterbury, NZ).
Focusing on a review of the literature of one of the most, if not the most researched topic in tourism – consumer behaviour -, and published in a high ranked Journal, I always felt the paper could do well, but never imagined that it could get so much traction.
The paper is scheduled to be part of the forthcoming REF submission.
