About the publisher

Emerald - "Research you can use"

Publishing research you can use has been our philosophy since 1967 and connecting the world of research with the world of practice is at the heart of what we do. It also helps to reinforce our usefulness for business schools and other academic institutions, and appeals to managers within public and corporate organisations who need practical information that can be applied in the real world.

Emerald publishes over 200 titles, 90 per cent of which are peer-reviewed. Titles such as Management Decision, European Journal of Marketing, Journal of Documentation, Library Hi-Tech, Journal of Knowledge Management, Industrial Management and Data Systems and The TQM Magazine are published by Emerald, along with a core collection of library and information science journals. 36 Emerald journals are now ranked by Thomson Scientific (formerly ISI) – an important indicator of their high quality within the research community.
