First voices first

Opening up access to make voices heard

 

We’re really passionate here at Emerald about making research that matters as impactful as possible – that’s why we’ve started a new pilot project with The Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL).

Working alongside COPPUL and the University of Saskatchewan, we are providing research content access to a selection of Indigenous post-secondary institutions and communities.

We believe in quality education for everyone, everywhere. By highlighting the issue and working with experts in the field we can start to find ways we can all be part of the solution.

As an Indigenous librarian, I'm excited to see free access to Emerald database content open up to Indigenous communities and post-secondaries. It's one small step in the journey to correct historical wrongs related to research and Indigenous peoples and it warms my heart.

Indigenous Voices

Now, more than ever, we believe that research is most impactful when a diverse range of voices is included.

We know academic research has an important role in bringing about a more inclusive society, so we are working towards greater equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in everything we do.

As a publisher with strong commitment to provision of quality information and education for all, we’re excited to be supporting this pilot study with COPPUL. In particular, we’re interested in how this pilot can be extended beyond initial information access to participation through Indigenous scholarly authorship. Our belief is that all voices should be heard through the scholarly record, and it’s important that we don’t impose a one-size-fits-all approach to participation. We look forward to listening, learning, and ensuring we respond with appropriate products and services.
