Translating Research Implications to applications: Industry’s commentary 

The purpose of the ICHRIE Research Reports is to generate a series of peer-reviewed research reports that are based on academic research findings, and targeted towards industry practitioners and policymakers. ICHRIE Research Reports translate academic research findings into practical applications.

ICHRIE Research Reports interpret the extensive academic research of the ICHRIE community to inform industry practice and policymakers. These research reports also place ICHRIE in the strategic forefront of generating and widely disseminating translational research in the hospitality and tourism industries.

The ICHRIE Research Reports are electronically published with open access to all ICHRIE members. There is a nominal fee for non-ICHRIE members to support processing and publication costs. 

Submission Guidelines for Authors

Target Audience: The target audiences for the Research Reports are industry practitioners, policy formulators, and others that are interested in practical implications of research conducted in the hospitality and tourism disciplines. The Research Reports must ensure scientific rigor in theoretical/conceptual arguments and methodological approach. The authors are encouraged to review some of the following resources on translational research – or basic and scientific research translated into practical applications for decision-makers.

• What is translational research?
