An innovative non-profit collaborative

Supporting sustainable scholarly communications since 1999.

In a bold step forward for our stakeholders and the nonprofit publishing community at large, BioOne is joining Johns Hopkins University Press as a thriving unit within one of the world’s most respected university presses.

Effective September 1 2026, all BioOne assets, BioOne Digital Library products including the flagship BioOne Complete, financial reserves, and operations — including staff — transfers to Hopkins Press, under which BioOne will continue to operate as a discrete unit. BioOne CEO Lauren Kane will remain with BioOne through its dissolution on January 31, 2027, providing oversight of the transition and integration.

Together with Hopkins Press, BioOne can maximize our impact, unlock new opportunities, and transform how we serve researchers, societies, and libraries worldwide. We gratefully acknowledge the ongoing support of our community as we embark on this new chapter and recommit to our founding values of sustainability and collaboration.

BioOne has played a crucial role in the development and professionalization of small European publishers since its creation. BioOne’s transformative business model allowed institutional publishers like MHNH to widely disseminate their content and remain independent.

The BioOne Complete Archive was a great option for us. We were able to simplify our holdings and fill in gaps left in our collection by changing subscription models, and we find that we get good use of the BioOne backfile.
