Emerald Insight: new and improved platform
Database content
Emerald Insight contains results from scientific and practice-oriented research in a wide range of fields, including business administration, management, logistics, marketing, education, technology, healthcare and environmental management.
The link between the content and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) increases the importance of this database for our institution.
The content consists of e-journals, e-books and case studies from the publishers Emerald Publishing and ICE Publishing. Our licence provides access to all 300+ Emerald e-journals and approximately 100 e-books, but not to case studies.
New platform
In July, Emerald Insight switched to a new platform. It offers a better user experience, more detailed filters, faster loading times and new features such as Split View and Collection pages. See also the User Guide Videos.

- The home page provides access to Journals, Books, Case studies and Collections for searching. But you can also easily search all content. After performing a search, the content can be filtered based on document type, subject, date range and availability. With Advanced Search, you can refine your search for authors and articles.
- Split view is a display in which figures and additional data such as tables and references are shown alongside the main article.
- The Collection pages contain content clustered by subject or subscription collection. Emerald has made its own selection of high-quality and thought-provoking content, in addition to supplementary sources.
- The Emerald Goals collection is particularly important, as its content is aligned with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Emerald has indicated that it wants to focus primarily on important areas related to these goals, such as responsible management.
Example content
The public page Responsible management: The key to zero hunger? offers free content alongside videos, blogs, a podcast and a call to publish and participate in the community. The page of the same name, accessible after logging in, offers an extensive list of relevant content.

If you register a personal Emerald profile, you can save searches, receive recommendations and email alerts with the table of contents of new journal issues.
