Emerald launches eBook series collections

Emerald Group Publishing Limited is pleased to announce the launch of its eBook series collections; one focusing on Social Sciences and the other on Business, Management & Economics. These two collections both complement the management focus of existing Emerald journals and extend it into new subject areas such as Psychology and Sociology. In total, they represent over 500 volumes and feature leading international authors in each field covered. They are available now at

Users can browse both journal and book series content simultaneously, either alphabetically or by subject, and the type of content is clearly displayed. Rebecca Marsh, Publishing Director at Emerald, comments: “eBook series represent some of the most important and cutting-edge research undertaken on a particular topic. Expert editors commission the leading authors in the field to write individual book chapters that reflect the latest thinking on a topic and help shape the research agenda for the future. Emerald is delighted to have been able to expand its portfolio to offer over 500 individual book volumes (as part of over 100 book series) online.” “A further exciting development”, she adds, “is the combination of the Emerald journal and book series content into one searchable database, allowing customers to download both journal article and book chapter content in a single search. This development reflects Emerald’s continuing efforts to provide enriched content delivery and service enhancement for its customers and stakeholders.” The Business, Management and Economics collection includes 65 series titles. Featuring titles from the highly regarded JAI Imprint, the collection offers access to a selection of 380 volumes covering subjects such as Strategy, Accounting and Finance, Organizational Studies and Economics. The Social Sciences collection introduces titles in Sociology, Education and Psychology to the Emerald portfolio.  It contains over 180 volumes across 37 series titles. Users will be able to retrieve relevant information quickly via the new platform. Content will be available in both HTML and PDF format, with access to over 5,000 Chapters from over 100 titles. COUNTER usage statistics, Rightslink, and Document Outline will soon be added to the eBook series content facilities.
