Emerald Customer Usage Breaks all Previous Records

Rankings for 2006 showed highest usage ever during October and November.

[ClickPress, Tue Jan 23 2007] During October and November 2006 Emerald experienced full text downloads of over 1.5 million each month, nearly doubling figures from the previous year. These download figures correlate directly with a steadily increasing ranking by Alexa, which provides an objective measure of page views, traffic rank, and reach among Internet users.

“These figures state loudly that writing for Emerald is a wise choice for researchers, giving their work a strong voice and high visibility,” said Gill Etienne, Head of Corporate Communications at Emerald. “The increases in page views and downloads also demonstrate that Emerald articles, which focus on putting theory into practice, are interesting and useful to a wide audience”.

As evidence of this growth, article download figures for October were 859,926 in 2005 and 1,549,681 in 2006. November again broke the record for customer usage with article downloads of 843,420 in 2005 and 1,684,822 in 2006. Ongoing Internet traffic results for Emerald can be viewed at Alexa by visiting
