68,000 articles from more than 120 journals direct from your desktop on one unified platform.

Emerald Backfiles was created as the result of a project carried out with the British Library to digitize over 68,000 articles from more than 120 journals. With articles dating back to the nineteenth century, Emerald Backfiles is an important resource for business and management scholars and social historians alike.

Why did we develop Emerald Backfiles?

Over previous years we have seen a huge increase in the usage of articles online. This clearly highlights the changes in reader behaviour; content is chiefly accessed electronically rather than via hard-copy journals. However, having undertaken some analysis, we identified that four of the five most cited papers in Emerald journals were published before 1994. Therefore, through developing Emerald Backfiles, we have brought this knowledge to new readers and reopened historical scholarship.
