MetaPress, a hosting service for academic content, has announced its recent association with Acumen Publishing. Metapress is ready to meet Acumen's speed-to-market needs by first hosting the publisher's content on the new Metapress Essential platform before launching the publisher's new online publishing platform, which is scheduled for deployment in spring 2013.
Hosting Acumen e-journals on Metapress Essential while the standard publisher website is in development provides a unique edge that allows Acumen to make articles available immediately online to researchers. The publisher will be able to offer instant access to subscribers as well as attract new customers through subscription and pay-per-view sales at Metapress Essential.
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 wide range of commercial models - from annual subscriptions to journals to short-term article rentals. Metapress provides a comprehensive solution to Web-publishing needs and offers an established way to electronically publish titles, including journals, books, reference works, and databases.
