Allen Press, Inc., has announced that over the past twelve months, the number of journals hosted on its Pinnacle Online Publishing platform has increased by 42 percent. The platform will now host 184 publications on 117 publisher websites. This growth also includes 23 publishers previously hosting their content on the Metapress platform, which will be decommissioned in early 2015.
Pinnacle is a template-based content hosting solution built on the robust Atypon Literatum software. A number of new features have been added recently, including metered access, special collections, and faceted search. The Pinnacle Users Blog is another tool that assists publishers in maximizing features on their Pinnacle websites.
In addition to hosting services, Pinnacle also includes XML-tagging, content loading, site editing, and end-user customer support. By using Pinnacle, publishers can deliver a variety of content types, including journal articles, books, abstracts, and multimedia files on their own independently branded, mobile-optimised website.
Allen Press will be launching a more customisable version of Pinnacle as an additional option for publishers who have specific design requirements next month. Pinnacle Premium combines all the functionality of Pinnacle with a more flexible design that allows for a more configurable homepage.
