About Microtome Publishing

Microtome Publishing was founded in 2002 by Stuart M. Shieber on the premise that scholarly publishing should have different goals from traditional publishing; works that have been written without consideration for monetary gain by the authors should be disseminated to the greatest number for the lowest cost to the greater good of all.

To that end,

• Microtome publishes monographs using nonstandard distribution methods such as making its books available at no cost in digital form.
  
• Microtome publishes print versions of open access journals to provide for efficient and cost-effective archiving of freely available journal materials.
