Constant innovation is crucial
within publishing companies as
well. Emerald Publishing is trying
to close this gap between industry,
academia, and policymakers by
innovating and modifying our
products to present research in a
more practitioner-friendly manner.
Also, we are working closely with
governments and guiding institutes
to bring research to the attention of
policymakers. We also actively take
up awareness-building measures
to improve the inclination in
young researchers towards doing
qualitative, socially impactful
research and guide them towards
getting it published.

We at Emerald Publishing, as
advocates for Real Impact, are
encouraging research for societal
impact is through our focus on
publishing research that aligned
with UN SDGs in different
countries. Another area of priority
for Emerald is equity, diversity, and
inclusion. Our editorial boards and
commissioning editors of journals
are receiving training on diversity
and inclusion to improve gender
and regional representation. We
constantly analyse submission to
acceptance by gender and region to
assess any bias.

Researchers, policymakers,
practitioners, and publishers are all
stakeholders who share a common
goal, which is to highlight South
Asia as a global research hub. Our
purpose and vision must entail
a resolute commitment to the
goal of helping research to have
an impact that makes positive
difference to lives beyond the walls
of academia. All stakeholders have
made contributions in the recent
past in enhancing the quality of
research output from South Asia
but it is now time to shift gears and Ms. Sangeeta Menon Ms. Disha Lakhanpal
accelerate this momentum to the Publishing Relationship Regional Marketing
next level – coming together and
bringing South Asia’s research and Manager Manager
