Note from the publisher
As Managing Editor of the Business Process Management Journal here at Emerald, I would like to explain the benefits available to you when you become an author with Emerald.
In addition to achieving wide dissemination of your work by publishing with Emerald, our author relations service – the Literati Club – provides services and support for those authors who publish with an Emerald journal. It is a tangible expression of commitment by a publisher to its Authors and Editors, and the Club offers support and resources for all Emerald contributors worldwide.
The Literati Club offers the following benefits:
- •
A “thank-you” to outstanding Authors and Editors.
- •
An annual Awards for Excellence, which celebrates outstanding contributors among the Club Members in the following categories:
- •
- •
Best Paper Award for each participating journal.
- •
Editor of the Year.
- •
Leading Editor Awards.
- •
Research Award.
- •
- •
Regular Literati Club Newsline. All major developments occurring within the Literati Club and Emerald as a whole are reported in this newsletter and guidance is given on publishing, writing and editing.
- •
Privileged personal subscriptions to home address. Any Literati Club Member may at any time take out a personal subscription to an Emerald journal at one-third of the published price for delivery to a home address.
- •
Complimentary personal subscription. You will personally receive a complimentary subscription to any Emerald journal in your area of interest if your library takes out a full-price subscription.
- •
Call for papers. All Editors’ call for papers in your areas of interest and previous article keywords will be mailed or e-mailed to you personally.
- •
Future publications and new journal ideas. Editors give priority consideration to all articles you submit yourself, or on behalf of colleagues you wish to commend, and to new ideas for journal launches.
- •
Photocopying rights. You are authorized to make up to 25 copies of any single article published by Emerald, without seeking prior permission, provided they are not for re-sale.

More specifically to BPMJ, the usage statistics for 2003 to date have been excellent: there have been over 76,000 abstracts viewed in the period January-July 2003 alone. Over 55,800 articles were downloaded as a result of this. The most popular article downloaded during this time was “Formal strategic planning: the key to effective business process management?” by Nicholas O’Regan and Abby Ghobadian in issue 5 of volume 8.
We look forward to a successful year for BPMJ in 2004.
