Literati Club - the benefits of writing for Kybernetes

In addition to achieving wide dissemination of your work by publishing with Emerald, our author relations service - the Literati Club - provides services and support for those authors who publish with an Emerald journal. It is an tangible expression of commitment by a publisher to its authors and Editors - we offer support and resources for all Emerald contributors worldwide.

The Literati Club offers the following benefits:

• A "thank-you" to outstanding Authors and Editors

The Literati Club hosts an annual Awards for Excellence, which celebrates outstanding contributors among Club Members in the following categories:

• •

  • Best Paper Award for each participating journal

  • Leading Editor Awards

  • Research Fund Awards

• Regular Literati Club Newsline

All major developments occurring within the Literati Club and Emerald as a whole are reported and guidance is given on publishing, writing and editing.

• Liberal copyright principles

Emerald seeks to retain copyright of the articles it publishes, without the author giving up their rights to use their own material. This enables us to

• •

  • Work unencumbered in our development of electronic publications and their delivery to meet customer and end user needs and create maximum dissemination of authors' work.

  • Protect our authors' moral rights and their work from plagiarism and other infringement.

  • Provide an efficient "one-stop-shop" for permissions.

• Authors' Charter

A unique Charter detailing your rights as a contributor to an Emerald journal.

• Calls for papers

All Editors' calls for papers in your areas of interest and previous article keywords will be mailed or e-mailed to you personally.

• Future publications and new journal ideas

Editors give priority consideration to all articles you submit yourself, or on behalf of colleagues you wish to recommend, and to new ideas for journal launches.

• Photocopying rights

You are authorized to make up to 25 copies of any single article published by Emerald, without seeking prior permission, provided they are not for re-sale.

• Expert Exchange

Authors can register their research and consultancy interests at Literati's Expert Exchange, or use it to find conference speakers, researchers, writers or consultants.

• Conference calendar

You can access a conference calendar which details forthcoming conferences in your field, plus post-conference reviews and information.

• Author workshops

The Literati Club runs author workshops to help less-experienced researchers understand the publishing process and to increase their chances of being published.
