Surveying 159 graduate students of tourism-related majors in Korea, this paper examined their perception of the importance of the criteria when they write papers for publication in academic journals. Results indicated that the students considered the following specific criteria to be important such as consistency between research title and research content, clarity of research objective, research originality, consistency between research objective and research findings, precise analysis of statistics, and interpretation and discussion. In term of paper organization, they put more emphases on the areas of research findings, research design, research topic, and conclusion than on introduction, literature review, and clarity of writing. In the relationship between components of paper writing and demographic characteristics of the respondents, statistically significant differences between groups were found in the variables of master or doctoral students, sex, and request of papers for graduation requirements.
