YOUR GO-TO INTELLIGENCE RESOURCE FOR THE SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING INDUSTRY

MetaPress a US-based provider of hosting services for STM content, has announced that three additional publishers have launched their electronic content distribution services via the MetaPress 2.0 platform. These publishers include the Chicago Linguistic Society, Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry and Supervision Magazine. MetaPress is a division of EBSCO Industries. The Chicago Linguistic Society initially used the MetaPress platform as a research tool and later, when it ventured more into online publishing, opted for MetaPress' hosting services. Supervision Magazine, which is near its 70th year of publication, is seen to have chosen MetaPress in order to make the publication readily available to both individual and institutional users alike.

Version 2.0 of MetaPress, released in 2006, offers a content management system with dimensional navigation across a variety of content types. Catering to almost 32,000 scholarly publications across the globe, it seeks to provide a comprehensive solution to web publishing needs and an established way to publish titles electronically, regardless of existing content format. Currently, MetaPress provides services and support to 184 publishers.
