ASA selects Atypon Systems

The American Statistical Association (ASA) has entered into an agreement with Atypon Systems for the development of a platform for online journal hosting and delivery services. Key factors determining the ASA’s decision to upgrade its online presence were better branding, better technology, and better customer service. In addition the ASA will also draw on Atypon's experience with XML as the association moves to provide all of its articles as full- text HTML.

Commenting on the agreement Chris Beckett of Atypon Systems said: ‘We are delighted to have signed an agreement with the American Statistical Association. Publishers recognise that the internet has revolutionised how readers approach content, and that their online presence is now so critical to their business that it needs to be something they can control directly themselves. Atypon’s e-publishing expertise, our administrative tools and ability to handle complex statistics were important factors in the ASA’s decision to select Atypon as their vendor.’
