1. Meet the Emerald team

Before we get started on publishing your journal, you are introduced to your dedicated Publishing Services Manager (PSM) and content team who will support you throughout the end to end publishing process and the development of the title.

2. Onboarding

Our robust and personal onboarding process allows you to familiarise yourself quickly with Emerald’s workflows, peer review and ethics guidelines, while the journal is getting integrated into Emerald’s content management system and website.

3. Getting your journal ready for submissions

Through a one to one session, we will tailor your journal’s ScholarOne online submission system so that it fits the journal’s editorial structure and workflows. You will be trained on the journal’s submission system, which integrates:

  • Web of Science Reviewer Locator
  • Publons Reviewer recognition
  • iThenticate (plagiarism checking software)
4. Publishing your journal

The journal content is published on Emerald Insight , Emerald’s hosting platform after 20 working days (subject to permissions and proofing stage). The content is specifically typeset, lightly proofread, and enriched through smart metadata tagging for better discoverability. Articles and issues are approved by both the authors and editorial team.

5. Making your journal discoverable

We work with industry partners to make it easy for authors, readers and librarians to access your journal’s content through discovery platforms and full-text indexing. Our partners include Google and Google Scholar, EBSCO and ProQuest in addition to subject-specific abstracting and indexing services, such as RePEc

6. Developing your journal

Your dedicated PSM will bring their expertise to drive growth in submissions, article downloads and citations, and help you prepare the journal for indexing in major citation/indexing databases, such as the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Clarivate Analytics (ESCI, SSCI/SCIE) and Scopus.

7. Broadening the reach of your journal

You will be able to invest in additional services in order to further increase the quality and visibility of your journal, such as marketing activities and advanced sub-editing credits. Upon request, articles receive Altmetric badges to help showcase the wider influence of your journal’s content.

8. Ongoing support & guidance

You will receive ongoing support and advice on different areas of publishing, for instance through drop-in sessions on ScholarOne, through the journal’s membership with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), or through valuable journal statistics.

We couldn't have asked for a better publisher. The publishing team is truly professional, but what makes the different is their experience and advice. They have helped us as editors prepare for impact assessment, citation index and ranking with the Australian Business Schools Deans Council, amongst others. They are just great to work with and nice people as well!
