I've been on holiday (it was great, I recommend holidays) and have lots of emails to catch up on. One such email is from Emerald and tells me about a new free resource: Research in the News Rather than use my own words to obfuscate, here's Emerald's very own description:

This new online resource highlights research that has direct impact or implication in the real world. Featuring a monthly selection of three to four articles/book chapters whose subject area is either very topical and/or groundbreaking, this resource demonstrates the real-world, practical application of Emerald content. Articles and book chapters are freely accessible for a month until they are replaced by the next selection of highly topical content.

Such eloquence! The good thing about this is that it will give you access (for a while) to Emerald material to which we don't subscribe, so hopefully there'll be a decent selection available each month.
