MetaPress, a hosting service for academic content, has announced the Metapress Essential platform to support smaller publishers. This new platform allows small publishers to receive the same features that enable large publishers to launch an online presence and manage content.
The Essential platform is part of the Metapress service portfolio that includes Standard and Tailor Made services.
In business since 2000, Metapress became the industry's first content management system with dimensional navigation across a variety of content types. The service offers a variety of commercial models — from annual subscriptions to journals to short-term article rentals.
Metapress, a division of EBSCO Industries Inc., provides a comprehensive solution to Web-publishing needs and offers an established way to electronically publish titles, including journals, books, reference works, and databases.
