Abstract

Scientific rigor requires the deepening of methodological matter, especially in crisis scenarios questioning the validity of scientific procedures and raising criticisms about the theorization and dissemination of tourism knowledge. In this sense, the purpose of this article is to discuss the scientific production in tourism through the perspective of methodological approaches. The analysis focuses on the subfield of ‘tourism network’. The research is based on the complexity method. It adapted the ProKnow-C methodological process for collecting data, which was analysed through the triangulation of content analysis, multiple correspondence, and correlation techniques. The main results revealed that many researchers do not make explicit the scientific method used in their research. Besides, it showed that there is no correlation between the scientific method and the research procedures. In this sense, there is a need for an epistemological deepening in research on the tourism field to overcome scientific methods’ knowledge limitations.
