Abstract: Research is the core of academic life. However, unlike its traditional structure, academia has become increasingly competitive due to the increasing expectation of publications through international rankings. Scholars put more effort into publishing, teaching, and other commitments. Over the years, the number of co-authored articles has also increased. Therefore, this study aims to empirically investigate the effects of journal selection on scholars’ burnout and envy feelings and analyze its direct impacts on job and life satisfaction. Our results are based on the assessment of 291 questionnaire surveys collected among scholars studying tourism and affiliated with different countries. Results confirm the continuous publish-or-perish trend, and it discloses the unspoken agenda of academia by proving the inciting role of well-known journals over scholars studying tourism.
