Abstract: While some tourism and hospitality researchers have examined the 
research productivity at the level of institutions or scholars holding a PhD 
degree, few studies on PhD students' research productivity have been 
conducted. The reason for this absence could be because it is difficult to get 
comprehensive PhD student lists for all academic institutions. This study 
therefore attempted to overcome this obstacle. With an alternative regression 
model (zero-truncated count model), this study aimed to identify significant 
factors influencing the students' scholarly publications in major tourism and 
hospitality journals. The results showed that two variables - productivity of co-
author(s) and US-model institutions - significantly influenced PhD student 
publications in the tourism literature.
