Emerald continuously monitors the progress of their journals to ensure their quality is reflected through ISI. Two notable additions to the report were The European Journal of Marketing (Impact Factor: 0.712) and Library Hi Tech (0.344) who received their first Impact Factor.

Highlights from the reports include, a total of 28 Emerald journals (85% of those already receiving a ranking) saw increases in their Impact Factors, Emerald has SEVEN journals with an Impact Factor over 1.000 (20% of those with an IF), and Emerald also saw every one of its business and management journals receive an increase in their Impact Factor.
