In the past 1 years, the amount of published paper of CSSCI core journals and economic management journals in china has declined abnormally, which may reduce the effective information of academic journals. This paper proposes to use the new diffusion factor, the number of keywords per article, and the number of articles to standardize and then harmonize the average to reflect the information density of the journal and also proposes the journal information density factor index. It then comprehensively uses the statistical methods of correlation coefficient, regression analysis and independent sample t test to verify the indicators. The results show that the issue of academic journals' information density should be paid more attention; the journal information density factor is a good evaluation index, which is not related to the impact factor, positively correlated with the h index and publishing capacity, and obeys the normal distribution. And the design of periodical evaluation index should have the function of dynamic control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The h index is a quantitative tool for evaluating scientists' research performance. The higher a person's h index, the greater the influence of his or her article is. This paper uses the h index method to evaluate the academic articles published by tourism academic communities in China (i.e., academic journals, tourism scholars, universities, research institutions, etc.) from 2003 to 2013. The sources used in this paper were retrieved from three databases: Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI). A total of 784 academic journals, 16,024 articles, 13,608 authors, and 2,565 research institutions were chosen in the analysis. The sample is the same as the one used in the authors' previous paper entitled Development Pattern, Classification and Evaluation of the Tourism Academic Community in China in the Last Ten Years: From the Perspective of Big Data of Articles of Tourism Academic Journals for the purpose of comparison. By comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the methods used by tourism researchers to measure the h index, this paper proposes a comprehensive method to calculate the h index of individual journals, authors, and institutions. For academic journals, the h indices of the top 110 journals were above 9, and Tourism Tribune was ranked No. 1 based on its h index (88). During the period of 2003 and 2012, of 1944 papers published, 88 papers were cited not less than 88 times. Human Geography and Economic Geography were ranked Nos. 2 and 3 with h indices of 51 and 48, respectively. For authors, BAO Jigang, WU Bihu, and LU Lin were the top three based on the h indices of 19, 18, and 17, respectively. For institutions, h indices of 104 institutions were above 4, and the top three were Sun Yat-Sen University, Anhui Normal University, and Peking University. Additionally, the research teams of most of the top seven institutions were geography- oriented. This indicates that the discipline of geography occupies a dominant position in tourism studies. The h index method takes both the quantity and quality of journals, researchers, and articles into consideration, making up the deficiency of traditional methods that use the quantity of articles as the only measure for evaluating academic performance. In addition, the h index method can help to reflect the research productivity and academic impact of tourism academic communities objectively. Furthermore, the evaluation of the research performances of the tourism research communities in China can help Chinese researchers to open their minds and participate more in international academic communications and can also help researchers from overseas develop an overall understanding of the up-to-date research development of Chinese tourism academic communities.
