This study was to identify the dimensions that reviewers consider impor- tant when they review and evaluate journal papers. Data were collected at several tourism academic conferences from 137 people who had experiences on journal paper review. Results revealed that in their review process, the respondents considered several criteria to be important in the following orders: research originality, clarity of research objective, consistency between research objective and research findings, and interpretation and discussion. In contrast, in terms of paper evaluation, the respondents considered research design, research findings to be more important than research topic, and literature review. Regarding the final evaluation method of papers, the respondents preferred reviewing each criteria with different weight to reviewing the criteria with same weight. They also preferred deciding the final evaluation based not on the point system of journals but on their own judgement.

Freelisting has been developed in the field of cognitive anthropology, a subfield of cultural anthropology, and as a new information eliciting technique. Freelisting is based on the notion of culture as a shared information among the members constituting a common culture. The purpose of freelisting method is twofold: first, it determines the content of a cultural domain, and secondly it infers the internal structure of the domain(i.e., the relative salience of the content items). ANTHROPAC is usually used for freelisting analysis, which produces such measures as frequency, rank order, and Salience Index of each freelisted item. Freelisting has merits in terms of its simplicity in execution and yet its sound conceptual underpinning. Provided such merits, freelisting seems to be a useful research tool that can be applied in the study of tourism and tourism related matters as well.

This study examined the structural relationship between leisure constraint and leisure motivation. Based on the review of related literature, a structural model of the relationship from leisure constraint to motivation was proposed and it was compared with a competing model of the relationship from leisure motivation to leisure constraint. Data were collected from 218 parents or other family members of 9 school students of city of Chuncheon, the city of 2010 World Leisure Congress. Result of structural equation model analyses showed that only intrapersonal constraint negatively influenced leisure motivation, while interpersonal constraint positively influenced leisure motivation. In addition, no statistical relationship was found between the structural constraint and leisure motivation. Furthermore, the proposed model was superior to the competing model in terms of model fits. Results imply that leisure managers should focus on the management of intrapersonal constraint.
