Scholarly & academic publishing

Over 2,000 societies trust their publications to our platform.

A history of success

Atypon has been powering the business of online scholarly publishing for over a quarter of a century. That’s given us a lot of time to get to know you, and to determine what professional and academic publishers want and need from their publishing platforms.

Whether you publish STEM, humanities, or social sciences content, you need to make research convenient and productive, attract preeminent authors, build and nurture a scholarly community, and increase the impact and prestige of your content and brand. That’s why the publishers of more than 16,000 of the world’s scholarly journals host their content on Literatum, our online publishing platform.

Connect readers with your content

Our SEO strategies are informed by meetings with Google, built into every Atypon website, and optimized regularly so readers can find your site easily. After they’ve arrived onsite, AI-driven search rankings and enhanced search tools help them easily find the content they need.

Stay connected to your readers

To form lasting connections with your readers, you have to give them a reason to keep coming back. Literatum’s consumer-grade websites provide the kind of personalized online experiences readers are accustomed to. Easy-to-build, topic-based microsites attract new readers, and AI-driven content alerts keep them coming back.

Atypon technology is changing how science is done, discovered, and published.
