Research in Hospitality Management (RHM) is a peer-reviewed Open Access journal publishing research articles that make an original contribution to the understanding of hospitality and to the theory and practice of international hospitality management. Short communications, working papers, book reviews and discussion papers will also be considered.

The journal focuses on three main areas:

1. “Hospitality (Management) Studies” includes articles related to the study of and the study for hospitality. The study of hospitality refers to studies about the essence and ethics of hospitality from a social sciences perspective, while the study for hospitality refers to the quintessential managerial disciplines of Finance, Human Resources, Operations, Marketing & Sales, and Technology;

2 “Hospitality Management Education” is devoted to articles about curriculum content and delivery methods for training and educating hospitality managers. Considering the size and scope of the hospitality industry, and the number of staff and students involved, studies on efficient, effective, and innovative ways of developing hospitality competencies are considered indispensable;

3. “Student Research Projects” considers excellent student work relating to Bachelor’s or Master’s research projects and theses.
