For instance, in volume 39, issue 3\/4, the topics covered include the economic crisis as it pertains to public libraries in Greece, agricultural libraries in Northern India, and a SWOT analysis of Jamaican academic libraries.16<\/sup>\u00a0The journal should also be of particular interest to Chinese authors, due to its annual Chinese supplement.17<\/sup><\/p>\n LIS authors, whether professional\u00a0librarians or library managers, have the opportunity to delve into current issues in library management and publish their research in a highly regarded academic journal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Publication circulation:<\/strong>\u00a0Circulation statistics are not available. According to the Emerald site, however,\u00a0Library Management<\/em>\u00a0articles are downloaded over 11,000 times per month.18<\/sup><\/p>\n Audience location and language or cultural considerations:<\/strong>\u00a0Library Management<\/em>\u00a0is written in English and published in the UK but is international in scope.19<\/sup>\u00a0The\u00a0editor lives in Australia, while the editorial board members live in various countries throughout the world, including the UK, Canada, India, Finland, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and South Africa.20<\/sup><\/p>\n To ensure international voices have an opportunity to be heard, Emerald\u00a0offers an editing service, Peerwith, which offers help with \u201clanguage editing and translation.\u201d21<\/sup><\/p>\n Also, the aforementioned annual Chinese supplement is a Chinese language publication, \u201ccreated specifically for Chinese researchers\u201d22<\/sup>\u00a0with an \u201cEditorial Board of eminent Chinese Librarians and Educators.\u201d23<\/sup><\/p>\n Reader characteristics:<\/strong>\u00a0Most readers are senior managers and academics.
