BioOne

BioOne

BioOne is a not-for-profit corporation formed in 1999 to aggregate scientific information in digital formats for dissemination via the Internet, principally to an institutional market. BioOne provides an information resource of high scientific value at a reasonable price. Through the efforts and credibility of its collaborators and their commitment to best practices, features and benefits, BioOne has attracted a large and diverse international customer base. Academic libraries, the primary target market, want effective responses to the serials crisis in scientific, technical and medical publishing, where access to journals has been marked by rising costs, fewer options, and tightening control by commercial publishers. BioOne is a response for libraries that also enables non-commercial publishers to remain viable and independent in a highly competitive marketplace, enhancing member services and dissemination of research.
