An Article Accepted by T&F Journal Is On Sale


An advertisement posted on RedNote (Xiaohongshu), a Chinese social media, is offering the first-author position of an article accepted by a T&F journal.

The RedNote user stated on the advertisement that the article is about "Digital Transformation and Ritualized Experience in Sports Tourism". We believe the "体育旅游中的数智化转型与仪式化体验" is a typographical variation of "体育旅游中的数字化转型与仪式化体验".

He also stated that the paper was accepted by a JCR Q1 T&F journal recently (probably on August 17th, a few days before that), and he had requested a form for authorship changes from the editor. However, without more details, the 5GH Team is unable to identify the journal at this stage. The team urges the publisher to step in for further investigation.
