Proudly supporting our communities in making a real difference
The Emerald journals publishing team reflect on the achievements of 2021, and look forward to 2022 and the many opportunities to support our communities in making a real difference.
"It’s been a great year for our Journals Programme in helping to achieve real-world impact. We have hit our publication target of more than 15,200 articles in our strategically important subject disciplines and, through increased commissioning activities working with our editorial teams, we have grown the volume of interdisciplinary research articles aligned to the SDGs and our Emerald Goals. We continue to help amplify the important role of the social and applied sciences in the fight against COVID-19 with special sections and themed special issues."
Sally WilsonPublishing Director
"I am so proud to be a part of our newly launched journal Technological Sustainability. With topics ranging from Renewable Energies to Social Responsibility in Production, the journal promises to be truly interdisciplinary in nature. Projects like these are why I got into publishing – I believe we are making a real contribution to the world!"

"I’m delighted to be able to showcase some of the amazing content that has been commissioned by our excellent internal and external editorial teams. As expected, Emerald’s publishing programme this year has been dominated by COVID-19, with our authors providing so many fascinating perspectives – from the expectations we have of our leaders, to the impact on educational settings, to the consequences for manufacturing and supply chains, and the implications for child protection. It’s great to see so much quality, relevant and impactful research coming through across our subject portfolios. With submissions continuing to increase, a thriving open access pipeline and more growth planned for next year, our journals programme really is going from strength to strength."
