History

As a print journal republisher

Metapress was founded in 1998, as an online publication platform for content creators to produce and host their printed journal editions online.[8] Initially formed as a subsidiary of EBSCO Information Services,[9] The company became one of the world's largest and established scholarly publishers,[10][11] hosting over 31,000 publications[12] from over 180 publishers.[13] Publishers have included the National Association for Music Education, Academy of Management, World Scientific, IOS Press, and others.[14]

Acquisition by Atypon

On April 14, 2014,[15] Atypon acquired the underlying platform of the Metapress business from EBSCO Information Services.[16][17] Upon purchase, existing clients and content were migrated to Atypon's Literatum platform on May 21, 2015.[18][19] The Literatum platform was integrated with the Metapress platform to include website development tools, content targeting, rapid product creation, subscription modeling, eCommerce, and analytics.[20]

The website was relaunched in June 2016, rebranded as a "resource of expert content on the internet".[21]
