Abstract

Further development of tourism in Russia needs innovation advance with an active state intervention. Solution of such an ambitious task requires the relevant scientific argumentation. An analysis of the articles from international journals aimed at innovations in Russian tourism reveals a fundamental problem of lacking high-quality research in this theme. The number of these articles is very low, and these do not appear often in definitely prestige journals. Nonetheless, the authorship geography is rather broad, foreign specialists are among the authors, and the relatively big number of journals chosen by the authors appear from the leading international publishing houses. The focus of the selected articles, which is evaluated by the content-analysis of their titles and abstracts, is rather narrow, and it does not take into account the importance of social aspects and the role of state governance. Solution of this problem can be linked to putting the task of publishing activity improvement and, thus, research quality into the frame of national projects.
