Abstract :During long time academy pondered the productivity of authors as criterion of distinction, but this model seems to be changed to citation impacts. In this short essay review, which is centred in my own experience, we discuss to what an extent the current editorial system is sustainable for the discipline as well as in interests of market to restrict the number of published papers. Nowadays, H-Index which is oft-used as a useful instrument to rank scholars and scientists confers further impact to those scholars who publish few but are highly cited. Readers will see why this model leads to feed editorial monopolies which are ideologically framed to the belief that quality of papers are not associated to their quality but the journal where they are pipelined and published
Keywords : Editorial Problems, Citation Impacts, Tourism Research
