Academic publisher Emerald Publishing is delighted and humbled to have won Independent Publisher of the Year and Academic and Professional Publisher of the Year at the 2020 Independent Publishers Guild, Independent Publishing Awards. This is the second time the publisher has been awarded the title of Academic and Professional Publisher of the Year, something the company is incredibly honoured to have been recognised for.
Launched in 2007 and run by the Independent Publishers Guild (IPG), the Independent Publishing Awards are the UK’s biggest annual celebration of independent publishing. The awards reward outstanding achievement in different sectors and aspects of publishing. This year’s awards saw a record number of nominations in 14 different categories.
The judges recognised Emerald Publishing’s continuing commitment to its successful books and journals programme, together with its innovation of its content platform, Emerald Insight, and the expansion of its open research platform, Emerald Open Research, which tackles critical world issues linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The judges also appreciated the businesses strategies to reach non-core customers, recognising the publisher’s commitment to real world impact, diversity and supporting communities to overcome barriers to impact.
In a related announcement, Cambridge University Press announced that it has won the inaugural Sustainability Award at this year’s UK Independent Publishing Awards. The award was accepted by Helen Griggs, Global Director of Environment, Procurement and Supply.
The judges were impressed by the Press’s entry, which showcased the powerful combination of its publishing on climate change and sustainability, concrete actions to make its operations more sustainable and the energy and enthusiasm of colleagues whose ideas and actions are coordinated by an Environment Action Group.
