Reference Reviews was a British academic journal published by Emerald Group Publishing which provided reviews of reference works with a target audience of librarians. [1] It was established in 1987 by Nick Moore (Birmingham City University), [2] aiming to provide "unbiased, comparative, and evaluative reviews" of reference materials, primarily British publications. [3] Its first issue was published in March that year by Parker Moore Ltd. and edited by Nick Moore. [4] The publication was acquired by the publisher Longman in 1988, [2] and later by Emerald (then known as MCB University Press). [1] Under its second editor Stuart James, [5] the journal went from publishing four issues a year to eight issues a year and also began to be provided on the Internet. [6] Its third editor, Tony Chalcraft, announced the end of the journal in its final issue in 2018. [5]
