I am delighted to introduce you to Emerald in 2012. I hope this magazine will provide an informative overview of our latest journal and book releases, product news and business developments for the year ahead.
As we start the year, our continued commitment to the highest standards of quality and relevance is reflected by nearly 5,000 customers based in more than 130 countries. You can read more about what is happening in your part of the world on pages 6-10.
Pages 4 and 5 provide information about our latest multi-media developments including our Emerald App and our new Facebook page – ‘like’ us on Facebook to get up-to-the minute news and views throughout the year and you could win an Apple iPad 2!
Working closely with our associates and contributors over the next 12 months we will develop our portfolio and add a further eight new journals and 160 new books. See page 3 for further details.
Listening to feedback from our markets in the past year, we continue to seek ways of developing our online database offering to fill gaps in teaching and research. Our Emerald Emerging Markets Case Studies and Health and Social Care collection are two recent examples of these developments. You can read more on page 4.
AND last but not least, you will find details of our FREE Online Support Services on page 11.
I hope you enjoy reading this magazine and have the opportunity to connect with Emerald in the coming year. I wish you all the best for a successful 2012.
