Emerald Announces Winners of 10th Annual Citation of Excellence Awards

Emerald Management Reviews honor top authors of 2005

UNITED KINGDOM, July 17, 2006 - Emerald Group Publishing 
announces the winners of its 2005 Citation of Excellence Awards. 
Now in their tenth year, these distinguished annual awards 
recognize the 50 outstanding articles published by the top 400 
management journals in the world.

The annual review is conducted by the Emerald Management Reviews 
Accreditation Board, comprised of management experts from 
industry and academia including Cary Cooper, Philip Kotler, 
Darrell K. Rigby, and B. Joseph Pine II. Each year the Board 
selects the world's top 400 management titles and after a 
thorough and rigorous assessment of every article in each 
journal, 50 outstanding articles are singled out for a Citation 
of Excellence Award. Authors of the winning articles receive an 
official certificate and badge to display on their work. The 
award brings with it peer recognition and frequently, increases 
in research funding.

"A key feature of these awards is the unique way in which the 
Emerald Management Reviews database works. Over 15,000 article 
reviews are added annually, so being singled out as one of the 
top 50 is quite an honor," said Debbie Spurgeon, Emerald 
Executive Editor. "For an author of a management research paper, 
receiving a Citation of Excellence Award represents one of the 
highest accolades that can be achieved."
