These tools have improved the traditional bibliogra phic models considerably. The present analysis applied the centrality indicators from social network analysis to first - tier journal articles (index: Journal Citation Reports (SSE)) . The results revealed that journal specialization within the tourism theme is consistently in line with their editorial line, with minor issues detected. When it comes to academic debate, however, the topics are not concentrated homogenously.
