About Us

Since the migration of converting content from print to electronic has evolved, MetaPress has established a reputation for disseminating scholarly information on the Web, and hosting highly ranked journals and e-books in many disciplines. It is the e-publishing platform for many scholarly publishers.

MetaPress uses proprietary profiling technology to create a secure site tailored to your company’s specific Web publishing needs.

Currently hosting more than 38,000 scholastic publications for over 200 publishers, MetaPress is the world’s largest scholarly content host.

MetaPress is a division of EBSCO Industries, Inc., a global corporation with more than 6,000 employees. Founded in 1944, EBSCO has diverse sales and service enterprises that include electronic publishing, electronic and print subscription management, promotional products, manufacturing operations, custom printing, and residential and commercial real estate development.

EBSCO consistently earns a Dun & Bradstreet financial strength rating of 5A1, the highest awarded. We have also been included on the Forbes list of the largest privately owned corporations in America for more than a decade. We have long adhered to the principles of fiscal prudence and limiting debt. As a result, EBSCO’s profits are not consumed by having to pay off debt but, rather, are able to be invested back into the business to develop new products, services and technologies that allow us to offer innovative and improved services.

Feedback

"Besides the quality of our content, I attribute our big inaugural success, including escalated subscriptions sales, (in mid-year for subscribers), as well as our visibility to the public in general, to the efficiency and expediency of MetaPress staff and processes."

-Andrea Kisiner

Manager/Publication Sales and Services Transportation Research Board of the National Academies of Sciences

"Transaction had a longstanding and positive experience with MetaPress as host of our online journals, so when we ceased publishing journals to focus on book publishing, we naturally solicited a proposal from MetaPress for an eBookstore. After a rigorous review of proposals from a number of vendors, Transaction selected MetaPress to design and host our new venture. We are exceptionally pleased with our decision. The support staff is accessible and responsive. The Web design is seamless to our own Web site, and the look and feel is cutting edge. Technical awareness and digital rights management is state-of-the art."

"The MetaPress staff always answer my questions promptly, and have even surprised me with a phone call (that is really rare among your competitors!). I really appreciate all of your help."
