Is Emerald Publishing Scopus indexed?

Indexes such as Scopus and Web of Science list journals one by one, so a publisher is never indexed as a whole. For Emerald Publishing:

Frequently asked questions

Is Emerald Publishing Scopus indexed?

Scopus indexes journals one by one, not publishers. Of the 380 Emerald Publishing journals in our data, 357 (94%) are in the Scopus list. Check the exact journal in the table, and confirm on the Scopus source list before you submit.

Are Emerald Publishing journals in Web of Science (SCIE)?

95 of its 380 journals are in the Science, Social Sciences or Arts & Humanities Citation Index (SCIE, SSCI, AHCI) and 220 in the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). Only journals in SCIE, SSCI or AHCI get an official Journal Impact Factor from Clarivate.

Which Emerald Publishing journal has the highest impact factor?

By the impact factor* calculated from OpenAlex open data, PSU Research Review is the highest, at 14.0. This is not the official Clarivate value; check Journal Citation Reports for that.

Does Emerald Publishing have open access journals?

32 of its journals are fully open access and listed in DOAJ; those with an article fee charge a median of about US$1,420, and 30 list no article fee. Many of its other journals are hybrid: publishing is free unless you choose open access for your article.

Can I get an APC waiver from Emerald Publishing?

Emerald Publishing's waiver and discount rules, and whether your author team qualifies, are on its APC waiver page; the free checker tests the countries of all your authors.
