Emerald goes digital

09.10.07 Tom Tivnan

Management journal and database specialist Emerald Group Publishing is launching a programme to fully digitise all its business, management, library and information services, materials science, and engineering journals.

Working with the British Library, more than 50,000 articles from over 120 of journals will be scanned onto PDFs. Called Emerald Backfiles, the archive is part of Emerald's 40th anniversary activities, and is due for release in early 2008. The British Library will be responsible for the digitisation programme as well as helping Emerald locate paper copies that are not held at the British Library.
