Professor Hinson Wins 2024 Emerald Literati Best Reviewer Award
The global publishing behemoth Emerald has announced its 2024 Emerald Literati Awards. Since 1993 the Emerald Literati Awards have celebrated and rewarded the outstanding contributions of authors and reviewers in relation to Emerald journals and books. The award categories span outstanding author contribution, where authors are recognised for contributing something new or of significant value to the body of knowledge, either in terms of approach or subject matter. Other categories include outstanding paper where winners are chosen by a journal editorial team giving the winning authors confidence in knowing that their paper was one of the most impressive pieces of work from the previous year.
Outstanding reviewer awards also recognise the importance of reviewers to the scholarly publishing process. Academics rely on peer review to verify their research and add value to it through critical engagement before publication. Reviewers are specialists in a given area of research and are well placed to assess the soundness of an author’s work and share their own knowledge.
Professor Robert E. Hinson, a Distinguished Visiting Professor in the Department of Marketing Management has won a 2024 outstanding reviewer award for the Journal of Family Business Management. A Q1 Ranked Journal on the ABDC Journal list. The Journal of Family Business Management is endorsed by the Family and Smaller Enterprises Research Group at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh; the Center for Family and Small Enterprises at the University of Texas at Tyler in the United States; and the International Centre for Families in Business in the United Kingdom.
Even though this is his first outstanding reviewer award, Professor Hinson won an award for an Outstanding Paper in the 2022 Emerald Literati Awards on the basis of a co-authored article entitled ‘Marketing bank services to financially vulnerable customers: evidence from an emerging economy’ published in the International Journal of Bank Marketing’. The 2022 award was the third Emerald Literati Research Excellence Award for Professor Robert E. Hinson, having won his first Emerald Literati Highly Commended Paper Award in 2007 for a co-authored paper entitled ‘Corporate social responsibility (CSR) perspectives of leading firms in Ghana’ which was published in Corporate Governance: The International Journal of Business in Society’.
Professor Hinson also won an Emerald Literati Outstanding Paper Award in 2009 for a co-authored paper entitled ‘B2B inter-organizational digitalisation strategies – toward an interaction-based approach’ published by the Journal of Research in Interactive Marketing.
