Abstract

[Extract] Generating and disseminating knowledge is the fundamental purpose of tourism research. Opinions from senior-level academics, however, have suggested that less knowledge is being developed despite more from publications in the field (Beritelli et al., 2016; McKercher, 2018; Tribe, 2018). Many reasons have been suggested, from pressures to publish or perish, to the lack of individual creativity and holistic research skills (Kock et al., 2020). These reasons generally focus on the deficiency of capacity to produce groundbreaking research. In this viewpoint, we seek to provide an additional explanation: rather than deficiency, we should consider the proficiency in the skill of publishing; that is, many tourism academics are too good at publishing and fall into the paradox of expertise.
