Emerald Publishing Limited is a scholarly publisher of academic journals and books, headquartered in Leeds, England. Originally focused in the areas of social sciences and management, including management, business, education, and library studies,[3][4] Emerald also publishes in the areas of health, science, engineering, and technology.[5][6][7]
