Abstract

VARGAS-ARANA, Gabriel  and  UTIA-SHAPIAMA, Dorcas. Peruvian universities and their scientific production in the tourism area. Comuni@cción [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.2, pp.164-176. ISSN 2219-7168.  http://dx.doi.org/10.33595/2226-1478.11.2.449.

Taking into account the growing importance that tourism acquires for the development of Peru, and that at present every model of tourism development must be fed by tourism research, it is evident the need to analyze the production of the Peruvian universities that have carried out in the field of tourism. This research analyzes published articles related to tourism by professors affiliated to Peruvian universities in national and international indexed scientific journals. The search was performed using Scopus and Scielo databases during the period from 2008 to 2018. The analysis allowed us to identify those universities and authors that have made a greater effort of research and dissemination in tourism, the journals in which they are published these works, citations and international impact of articles and authors. According to what was analyzed, despite the fact that Peru has been an internationally recommended tourist destination for a long time, tourism research by Peruvian universities has been low and has slow growth, being less than the growth of the countries in our environment.

Keywords : Tourism; Investigation; Peruvian universities; university professor; indexed journals.
