Emerald
This agreement commenced in 2022. It is a three-year agreement (2022-2024).
Emerald publishes over 300 scholarly, peer-reviewed journals. The Emerald eJournals Premier database is a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary collection of journals featuring the latest peer-reviewed, international research in established and emerging areas of interest. Smaller subject collections are also offered. The Emerald/SANLiC agreement for 2022-2024 is a transformational open access agreement that provides read access to the collection to which your institution subscribes as well as permitting affiliated authors to publish a capped number of articles as open access at no extra charge in the journals to which your institution subscribes.
Contact your institution’s library staff to find out which collection your institution subscribes to.
