How to publish in this journal

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Evolution of the number of published documents. All types of documents are considered, including citable and non citable documents.

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Evolution of the total number of citations and journal's self-citations received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. Journal Self-citation is defined as the number of citation from a journal citing article to articles published by the same journal.

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.

International Collaboration accounts for the articles that have been produced by researchers from several countries. The chart shows the ratio of a journal's documents signed by researchers from more than one country; that is including more than one country address.

Not every article in a journal is considered primary research and therefore "citable", this chart shows the ratio of a journal's articles including substantial research (research articles, conference papers and reviews) in three year windows vs. those documents other than research articles, reviews and conference papers.

Ratio of a journal's items, grouped in three years windows, that have been cited at least once vs. those not cited during the following year.

Evolution of the percentage of female authors.

Evolution of the number of documents cited by public policy documents according to Overton database.

The largest tourism trade show in the country, Rendez-vous Canada, is in Edmonton this week for its annual conference, connecting tourism partners from across Canada and the world.

From May 14-17, more than 1,500 people in the tourism industry will descend on the Edmonton Convention Centre, creating partnerships for Canadian tourism for the next few years. Explore Edmonton’s vice-president of destination development and marketing, Paul Hawes, discussed the importance of the event and what it means for Edmonton tourism.

“This is really one of those once-in-a-decade opportunities to showcase the destination,” said Hawes.

What is Rendez-vous Canada

Rendez-vous Canada is a trade show for the tourism industry. It’s a joint venture between Destination Canada and the Tourism Industry Association of Canada (TIAC).

Destination Canada works to market Canada as a four-season destination for visitors within the country and abroad. The group identified a few key areas of the world where Canada’s tourism is an attractive option for travellers, including those from Australia, China, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The Tourism Industry Association of Canada is the nation’s largest national tourism advocate established in 1930.

RVC runs annually, but it’s been 10 years since Edmonton last hosted the event, which Explore Edmonton is looking forward to capitalizing on. In the last decade, Hawes discussed how much Edmonton has changed, highlighting the Downtown core and the Ice District as two shining examples.

Over the next few days, Edmonton will be home base for a broad range of tourism-affiliated people and businesses, putting the city in a strong position to not just reap the direct economic benefits of the show estimated at $5.3 million, but also set the course for long-term tourism attraction for years to come.

“It’s a much longer story than just the immediate impact,” said Hawes.

While Edmonton may get some of the benefits this week, RVC is mostly about tourism buyers and sellers.

The buyers could be from Canada or another country. With more than 1,500 people attending, there is a wide variety of countries represented in the buyer pool. The buyers, Hawes said, are a mix of product managers and travel agents.

Their jobs include assembling itineraries and travel packages for customers. Some may be assembling packages for tourism within Canada, while others might be looking to create an experience for visitors from another country.

Over the last few days and running until the end of the show, RVC offers familiarization tours for buyers.

“We want these buyers to experience products and experiences first hand,” said Hawes.

The sellers

The sellers are nominated by the TIAC, Destination Canada, and tourism industry partners. Essentially, the sellers offer everything that the buyers need to put together a travel package. From hotels to airlines or restaurants to experiences, the sellers have it all.

International buyers come and go frequently, but Hawes said that the benefit of an event like RVC is that it gets everyone in the same room at the same time.

With 917 sellers to choose from, Hawes said there were already more than 50,000 meetings set up between the buyers and sellers.

“Tourism speed dating is the best way to describe it,” Hawes said.

Effects on Edmonton

Apart from the direct revenue injected by attendees of the shows — as the buyers and sellers come and go, creating partnerships for future tourism, Hawes said that Edmonton sits at the center of it, both literally and figuratively.

While here, Hawes highlighted the Edmonton river valley, Fort Edmonton Park and the Alberta Art Gallery as a few key attractions within the city that tourists can take in. But he also said that Edmonton can benefit by acting as a “harbour” for some of Alberta’s other attractions.

As the buyers head to and from their tours, they will be going through Edmonton. As such, Hawes said they get the chance to see not just what Edmonton has to offer, but the access it offers to other places like Banff and Jasper, which would put Edmonton in a central arterial role in Alberta tourism.

RVC will wrap up with a social night on Thursday in the Ice District while the Oilers battle against the Vancouver Canucks , showcasing the changes in the city from when the show was last in Edmonton 10 years ago.

Allegiant reports rare loss in 1st quarter

Allegiant reported a quarterly loss resulting from a combination of factors, including Boeing Co.’s failure to deliver promised 737 MAX jets.

Executives of Las Vegas-based Allegiant Travel Co., operators of Allegiant Air, were disappointed with first-quarter earnings announced Tuesday.

“As you can see from our release, our results are not where we want them to be,” Allegiant Chairman and CEO Maurice Gallagher told analysts in the company’s earnings call with investors. “Historically, our Q1 is one of our strongest quarters.”

But not this year.

A combination of factors resulted in the company taking a nearly $1 million loss, 7 cents per share, for the quarter that ended March 31. Among them beleaguered Boeing Co., which promised to deliver 12 new 737 MAX jets in 2024, will only produce six. It’s part of an order of more than 100 jets first announced by Boeing and Allegiant in 2022.

Among the difficulties the company faced:

— Because Easter was earlier than normal this year, the spring travel season, usually a peak period for Allegiant, shrank. For the quarter, the company served 1.1 percent fewer passengers than last year’s 4.2 million.

— The airline paid the price for fixing pilot availability. This time last year, Allegiant was losing an average of a pilot a day as an industrywide pilot shortage took hold. To fix the attrition, the airline established agreements that paid pilots a bonus to sign an agreement to stay on. Through April, Allegiant paid $80 million without any corresponding offset of a new pilot agreement.

— Some employees are being paid more. The company signed new wage contracts and amendments with unions that have raised salaries for flight attendants, technicians and dispatchers.

— The company’s new Sunseeker Resort in Charlotte Harbor, Florida, opened in the fall, but isn’t fully ramped up and will be marketed more in 2024. While the resort has received good reviews and the average daily room rate of $330 a night, its occupancy rate was 40 percent for the quarter. Allegiant had special charges in 2023 and in the first quarter covering hurricane storm damage that occurred last year to the resort.

For the quarter, Allegiant reported a net loss of $919,000, 7 cents a share, on revenue of $656.4 million. That compared with net income of $56.1 million, $3.09 a share, on revenue of $649.7 million a year ago.

The new president and CEO was named several weeks after Trevor Scherrer said he would step down.

A class-action lawsuit alleging hotel room price fixing was thrown out, handing a win to the Strip hospitality companies accused of anti-trust behavior.

Hospitality workers at an off-Strip casino continued their two-day strike Saturday, calling on their employer to agree to wage increases in the next five-year contract.

The Sphere continues to lose money, but officials say the Las Vegas entertainment venue is improving financially and will add sound soon to its exterior display.

Two multibillion-dollar resorts — both with arenas that would be capable of hosting an NBA team — are in the works for Southern Nevada. Are both of them financially viable?

About 700 hospitality workers at an off-Strip casino have walked off the job and will withhold work for two days while pressing their employer to reach a deal over their five-year contract.

The developer said it would take $310 million to build a launching pad, a runway for spaceplanes, a control tower, a flight school and a 200-room casino resort.

The head of Virgin Hotels sees Mohegan Tribe’s withdrawal as casino operators as a chance to shake up the property that has struggled to gain footing in the market.
