Emerald Insight serves as the primary gateway to over 400 journals, 7,000 books, 3,000 case studies, and an ever-growing collection of open access content available to a global audience. The platform will be home to all Emerald Publishing content, including the Institute of Civil Engineers (ICE) Publishing portfolio, acquired by Emerald in May 2023.
The improved platform is a direct response to evolving customer expectations, reflecting Emerald Publishing’s commitment to meeting the needs of researchers and institutions.
Developed in partnership with Silverchair, Emerald has addressed these priorities head-on, delivering a new platform that offers flexibility and keeps the future in focus. The new platform not only offers users an intuitive user experience, but also frees Emerald staff from managing complex workflows and operations to focus instead on their key differentiators, while considerations like security, SEO, accessibility, and more are managed by the experienced Silverchair teams. Emerald will also benefit from the continuous improvements made to the platform, as informed by Silverchair’s client-led roadmap, publisher working groups, and market-facing teams.
Natalie Jacobs, Chief Product Officer, Emerald Publishing said: “As the industry navigates ongoing pressures to balance subscription and open research models, we recognize the growing need for flexibility. Our priority is to cater to the entire academic research community, delivering the tools and options they need. The new Emerald Insight is just the first step –we’re continuously evolving our offerings to meet future demands.”
Will Schweitzer, Chief Executive Officer, Silverchair said: "Our collaboration with Emerald Publishing reflects our shared commitment to innovation and impact in scholarly publishing. With this new iteration of Emerald Insight, we’re not only delivering access to critical research but also reinforcing our aligned goal to deliver impactful research. With Silverchair’s expertise, we’re supporting Emerald in delivering a flexible, forward-thinking platform that serves authors, institutions and individuals.”
