Los Angeles, CA and London, UK — February 16, 2016— SAGE Publishing, one of the world’s leading independent and academic publishers, announces the selection of Atypon, the Silicon Valley-based publishing technology firm, to host all SAGE Journals content on Literatum, Atypon’s pioneering online publishing platform.

Welcoming the announcement, Bob Howard, Vice President Journals Editorial, said:  “We are excited about the technological power of Atypon’s Literatum platform and the opportunities for SAGE to support the scholarly community.
