This week I made a wonderful discovery, an application called Recite. It is a tool that lets you check that all your citations are in your list of References, and vice versa, that everything in your list of References has been cited in the body of your article.   Test, Fix and Repeat Recite is accessed through your Google Account in the Chrome web browser. Readers of the Travel Writers Online magazine blog probably already have a free Google Account. The makers of Recite let you run a free test on a short essay, but you can signup for just a month for the price of a couple of cups of coffee. This monthly sub lets you upload whatever you’re writing as many times as you like. This process of test, fix and repeat is very useful as you resolve each of the issues with your in-text referencing. I wish I’d discovered Recite in the spring when we were working as a team of three on a research methods article for a tourism journal in Poland. First, the journal editors wanted APA 7 s...

This morning, we have an update for researchers and students who want to adopt Dialogue Journaling for building knowledge ecosystems but prefer the Google Drive environment. Here is a template designed in Microsoft® WORD conforming to the layout of a WELL document. This means that when it is saved as a PDF it will display without sideways scrolling on a smartphone screen. For Google Drive and Google Doc users, though, it provides an empty template for each page of their notebook journaling. Please feel free to download a copy; then make and store copies as empty templates in the 3 sub-folders of the area you create on Google Drive for journaling. Please click on image above to view the WORD template within a Google Drive folder

 PhD in Contemporary Travel Writing Syddansk Universitet Writing Travel in the Twenty-First Century: Mobility and Authenticity in the Planetary Emergency Travel is older than human civilization itself. Migration, trade, tourism and pilgrimage, all are forms of human movement that have existed for millennia. Yet travel is no longer what it used to be. Slow travel, flight shame, sustainable travel, eco- and anti-tourism, staycation and microadventures are but some of many recent terms testifying to a growing awareness that mobility has become inextricably intertwined with planetary concerns, regardless of whether it is the short distance of a commute to work, or that of long-distance globetrotting. With 2024 likely proving to be the hottest year on record and tourists evacuated by boat from uncontrollable forest fires on Rhodes in 2023, all the while tech billionaires promise us trips to Mars and hotels on the moon (while others perish trying to reach the Titanic), we are also told t...
