THOUSAND OAKS, CA and SANTA CLARA, CA – July 10, 2018–SAGE Publishing has extended its existing contract to continue to host, deliver, and market all of its scholarly and professional journals through 2023 on Literatum, Atypon’s online publishing platform.
Since 2015, SAGE has provided its customers access to more than 1,000 journals from a wide range of academic disciplines through Literatum, including a growing number of journals available open access.

“We put a high value on Atypon’s robust roadmap of platform enhancements and their highly effective service delivery team,” said John Shaw, SAGE’s Vice President of Publishing Technologies. “Atypon is a key technology partner. Literatum gives us the flexibility and direct control we need to run our business.”
