BU’s School of Tourism Richard Shipway has been chosen as an Outstanding Reviewer at the Emerald Literati Network Awards for Excellence 2012 .
Each year Emerald names and rewards the Outstanding Reviewers who contribute to the success of the journals. Each journal’s Editor nominates the Reviewer they believe has been that title’s most Outstanding Reviewer. This year Richard received this nomination due to his role as Reviewer for the International Journal of Event and Festival Management throughout 2011, his efforts described as ‘very impressive’ and making a ‘significant contribution’.
Well done Richard!
