Chapter 14 in How to Get Published in the Best Tourism Journals, 2024, pp 189-201 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter considers the characteristics of performance-based research funding systems (PBRFS) and what they mean for academic researchers in tourism. PBRFS are ways of allocating public research funds based on the performance of an individual or group during a stipulated period. The core characteristics of national systems are described - they involve an assessment of the quality of research outputs and related matters - but not the detail of each system (the emphasis of each often changes). Particular attention is paid to Australia, New Zealand and the UK. By revealing the operation of PBRFS, readers will be able to develop bespoke approaches to career planning that reflect their personal circumstances and outlook.
