Congratulations to Associate Professor Dr Nafis Alam who has been recently awarded the 2013 Outstanding Reviewer Award by Emerald Literati Network.

Emerald's publishing philosophy highlights six areas that inform the development of their journals and books:

• internationality;
• diversity;
• support for scholarly research;
• encouragement of applied research (impact);
• commitment to high quality scholarship; and
• a desire to ensure reader, author and customer experience is the best it can be.

These are also the areas they look to when they recognise and reward the efforts of authors, editors and reviewers and celebrate the outstanding contributions many have made, not only to their journals and books, but to the body of knowledge itself.

• Outstanding and Highly Commended Papers
• Outstanding Special Issue
