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]
