Summary
This study analyzes Airbnb research trends from 2015-2022, revealing a growing focus on operational practices like trust and pricing, alongside impacts on tourism and housing markets.
Area of Science:
- Business and Management
- Tourism Studies
- Urban Planning
Background:
- The rapid growth of Airbnb has spurred extensive academic research.
- Understanding research trends is crucial for identifying knowledge gaps and future directions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a comprehensive overview of Airbnb research topics and trends.
- To identify key operational practices and impacts studied.
- To analyze the evolution and growth of Airbnb research over time.
Main Methods:
- Advanced text-mining techniques applied to 1021 articles.
- Analysis of research published in 416 journals from 2015 to 2022.
- Categorization of research into operational practices and impacts.
Main Results:
- Primary research domains: Airbnb's operational practices (trust, house rules, pricing, value creation) and its impacts (urban tourism, housing markets, destinations, hotels).
- Significant increase in research on operational aspects, particularly trust, pricing, and destination impacts.
- Hospitality journals focus on industry specifics, while other journals offer broader coverage.
Conclusions:
- Airbnb research is evolving, with a notable shift towards operational dynamics and specific impacts.
- Future research should build upon identified trends and explore interdisciplinary connections.
- The study offers valuable insights for researchers and stakeholders in the tourism and housing sectors.

Structuralism, an early psychological theory developed by Wilhelm Wundt and his student Edward Bradford Titchener, sought to dissect the human mind into its most fundamental components. Wundt's groundbreaking work in his laboratory set the stage for Titchener to define structuralism's goal as cataloging the "atoms" of the mind—sensations, images, and feelings—akin to how chemists identify elements of matter.

01:40Archival Research
16.0K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

00:56Viral Structure
62.5K
Viruses are extraordinarily diverse in shape and size, but they all have several structural features in common. All viruses have a core that contains a DNA- or RNA-based genome. The core is surrounded by a protective coat of proteins called the capsid. The capsid is composed of subunits called capsomeres. The capsid and genome-containing core are together known as the nucleocapsid.

01:16Stratified Sampling Method
12.1K
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a stratified sample, divide the population into groups called strata and then take a...

01:20Evolutionary Psychology
312
Evolutionary psychology explores the origins of human behavior and mental processes by framing them within the context of natural selection, a theory famously propounded by Charles Darwin. This field asserts that many behaviors common across human societies — ranging from instinctive fear reactions to complex social interactions — arose as evolutionary adaptations. These adaptations enhanced the survival and reproductive success of our ancestors, thereby becoming embedded in the...

01:30Typical Model Studies
382
Fluid mechanics model studies often utilize scaled-down systems to predict fluid behavior in full-scale environments, such as river flows, dam spillways, and structures interacting with open surfaces. Maintaining Froude number similarity in river models is crucial, as it replicates surface flow features like wave patterns and velocities.
