Submission Guidelines for Cornell Hospitality Reports, Tools, and Industry Perspectives: A White Paper Series
Guidelines for Prospective Authors
Cornell Hospitality Reports
Cornell Hospitality Tools
Industry Perspectives
The Cornell Center for Hospitality Research welcomes submissions for its series of research reports and industry tools. Cornell Hospitality Reports is a series of standalone research studies that must both be empirically rigorous and contain implications of value to the hospitality industry. The Cornell Hospitality Tools series presents useful spreadsheets, techniques, and other material of use to hospitality managers, in either electronic or text form. Tools and reports are judged for suitability by academic reviewers (for rigor) and by industry reviewers (for applicability). Industry Perspectives: A White Paper Series is open to industry managers, executives, and other practitioners. This is a fact-or research-based series that extends far beyond opinion pieces.
Finished reports, tools, and white papers, are posted on the center’s website for download by several thousand registered users. Reports may also be printed for hard-copy distribution at conferences and trade shows.
Submissions may be based on prior published work, provided the material is reworked to focus on industry implications and provided it meets the requirements stated above. Submissions are read for general acceptability by the academic director of the Center for Hospitality Research and then sent in blind form to industry and academic reviewers. Send prospective manuscripts to http://mstracker.com/submit1.php?jc=chr .
Writing conventions for all three series are based on the Chicago Manual of Style. To the extent possible, manuscripts should be written in language that is accessible to a business audience, and academic-style writing is discouraged, as is use of passive voice. Citations should appear as serially numbered footnotes, rather than being run into the text. Footnotes should contain the complete publication information for the cited material. All manuscripts are subject to editing for style and logic after acceptance.
We appreciate your interest in the Center for Hospitality Research. Please contact Glenn Withiam, grw4@cornell.edu, with questions about manuscript preparation. Query the center’s academic director, David Sherwyn, dss18@cornell.edu, regarding suitability of manuscript topics.
