Inspiring Emerald

It is central to the vision statement of our new identity as Emerald that we will be the international publishers of choice for both authors and readers in the areas our journals cover. We will achieve this by attaining world-class status across our portfolio, securing the highest quality and widest dissemination of scholarly and applied knowledge.

The Emerald brand promise includes the notions of:

• •

  Reliability. We deliver what our readers, customers and contributors expect of us.

• •

  Quality. Our products provide consumers with a good fit to their intended purpose and our contributors with peer recognition in their fields of expertise.

• •

  Value. With one of the highest usage rates in the industry, the Emerald database offers significant comparative value for money.

• •

  Integrity. By inspiring trust and confidence in members of the community of which we are part, we are able to play a more active role in that community and develop long-term relationships with authors, editors and customers.

That brand promise rests upon three crucial factors:

1. 1.

   Theory and practice – at the heart of Emerald's offering is the delivery of content which bridges the academic, commercial and social worlds, bringing theory and practice together.

2. 2.

   The Literati Community – the unique Literati club represents a tangible expression of commitment to our authors and editors, offering support and resources for all Emerald contributors.

3. 3.

   Ideas exchange – Emerald acts as a hub for the exchange of ideas, inspiring thought and insight amongst researchers, students and managerial practitioners.

As Emerald we have re-invented ourselves, but we have not changed what drives us: to provide readers with information, ideas and the opportunity to gain insight. Emerald – information ideas insight

Disaster Prevention and Management

Disasters can never be fully anticipated. Yet planning for the unknown can make the difference between a successful salvage operation and disorganized panic.

Disaster Prevention and Management aims to tackle the issues involved in successfully planning responses to disaster situations as well as presenting the latest research into the causes of natural, environmental and man-made catastrophes.

The journal includes the disaster database and an up-to-date news section so that readers can keep track of the global situation, alongside challenging academic papers of direct relevance to anyone working in the field of disaster recovery and management.
