The University of Chicago Press, a premier publisher of scholarly
journals in the social sciences, humanities, and general sciences, and
Atypon, a leading provider of software to the scientific and scholarly
publishing industry, are pleased to announce the launch of a new
online home for the University of Chicago Press's portfolio of nearly
70 journals, using technology developed by Atypon.  Chicago's new
platform, due for release by the end of 2015, will enhance the
rigorous and cutting-edge scholarship for which Chicago's journals are
renowned with advanced search and information discovery capabilities;
superior readability and accessibility; and research tools for
scholars in all disciplines.

"The new platform will offer a suite of capabilities that will make it
an ideal point of access for readers and researchers," said Michael
Magoulias, Journals Director of the University of Chicago Press. "Our
partnership with Atypon will offer readers and researchers access to
scholarly journals that combines the latest developments in digital
publishing technology with Chicago's expertise in peer review,
production, and distribution."

Chicago is working to ensure a smooth transition of its content and
subscribers to the new platform from JSTOR where, for the past several
years, journals published by Chicago have been available as part of
the JSTOR Current Scholarship Program, and where the complete back
issues of all journals now published by Chicago will continue to be
preserved and made available through JSTOR's archival collections.
Details about the transition and 2016 subscription options are
forthcoming.
