Partnerships
Emerald Knowledge considers collaborations that suit a publication about ideas, explanation and learning while keeping editorial decisions independent and commercial material easy to recognise.
Possible collaborations
We consider clearly defined partner placements, relevant educational or cultural collaborations, and commissioned material with a transparent purpose. A proposal should explain the organisation or project, the intended audience, the proposed format and any commercial relationship involved.
Partner placements
Standing partner placements may be considered when their subject is relevant to readers and their presentation can remain distinct from editorial work. Placement, wording and duration are agreed in advance; acceptance does not imply that Emerald Knowledge recommends a partner's products, services or claims.
Clear labelling
Sponsored or partner material is labelled where readers encounter it. Commercial placements are not presented as independent editorial articles, and partners do not approve or direct unrelated editorial coverage.
Make an enquiry
Use the Contact page and select the partnership option. Include the proposed placement or collaboration, its purpose, relevant dates and any requested materials. We will consider whether the proposal fits the publication and its editorial boundaries.
Understanding begins with careful attention
An explanation can open a subject without closing it. We make room for distinctions, connections and the questions that remain.
