Taylor & Francis Group, including the imprints of Routledge, Taylor & Francis
and Psychology Press, announced today that it will partner with Atypon
Systems, Inc. to launch a next generation informaworld platform. The updated
platform will eventually provide access to content from Taylor & Francis
Group’s list of 1,500 journals, as well as providing access to encyclopaedias
and abstracting and indexing databases.
The upgraded platform will benefit Taylor & Francis’ readers, authors, library
and society partners with improved site speed, layout, accessibility and
navigation. The upgraded site responds to user needs identified in extensive
researcher and librarian focus groups held over the past 18 months. It will be
developed with the input of customers from each of these groups to ensure it
reflects their needs today, with the flexibility to continue to meet these needs
into the future.
"Partnering with Atypon is a positive step forward in providing a robust online
delivery system across our portfolio, built with the needs of the research
community in mind," said Christoph Chesher, Group Sales Director at Taylor &
Francis for both Books and Journals. "We are confident that the new
informaworld platform, coupled with sustainable pricing models currently under
development with our global customers, will ensure we continue to provide
high quality content and service in future years."
Taylor & Francis will ensure that customers are updated with further
information during the development of the site to allow a seamless transition.
