New York, NY & Santa Clara, CA—October 2, 2018—The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has selected Literatum as its new online publishing platform. In addition to its four journals, ASHA will migrate their award-winning news magazine for clinicians and researchers and will relaunch their special interest group newsletters as a scholarly review journal.
“After reviewing the platforms in the industry, we concluded that Atypon had the technology and configurability best suited to meet our rapidly evolving and expanding needs,” said Margaret Rogers, PhD, ASHA’s Chief Staff Officer for Science and Research. “Their commitment to continuous development, R&D, and new product initiatives will allow us to deliver enhanced user experiences, not just content, to our authors, members, and affiliates.”
The new site will be designed by the Atypon Design Studio and built using UX 3.0, Atypon’s accelerated website design-and-build system. Powered by Literatum, the site will enable users to search within and across the entire ASHA corpus, and allow ASHA to cross-promote and cross-sell all of their publications on a single platform, with a single, convenient interface. Atypon’s software development philosophy prioritizes ease of use, and its consumerized websites are designed to boost reader engagement.
“As a technology company devoted to furthering scientific communication, it’s a privilege to support ASHA’s goal of enhancing the development, use, and application of research in communication sciences and disorders,” said Georgios Papadopoulos, Atypon’s founder and CEO.
ASHA’s publishing program includes four journals—The American Journal of Audiology, The American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, The Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, and Language, Speech and Hearing Services in Schools—as well as Perspectives of the ASHA Special Interest Groups, their newsletter and soon-to-be scholarly review journal spanning 19 focus areas of the discipline; and The ASHA Leader, their news magazine.
