Publishing Open Access

For Open Access Journals

BioOne Complete is proud to feature both subscribed and open-access titles. BioOne's OA program is designed to meet the needs of open-access publishers that are generating sufficient sustaining revenue through collected APCs (article publication charges), grants, and/or society endowments, and are seeking a cost-effective Web publication strategy. 

Participating titles enjoy all of the benefits of subscribed titles (except royalty sharing), including access to a sophisticated platform with publisher self-administration privileges; content conversion to XML; online-early/issue-in-progress publication workflows; registration and deposit of article DOIs with CrossRef; archiving through Portico and LOCKSS; and more. To cover the costs of these services, OA titles pay a modest per-published-page fee, billed annually. Please contact us for more details. As with subscribed participation, inclusion in BioOne's OA program is selective. Please refer to our selection guidelines for evaluative criteria.

For Subscribed Journals

BioOne offers subscribed titles in BioOne Complete the opportunity to make single articles or archival issues freely available to all users, even while keeping the rest of their content available for subscribers only. OA Content is identified with a icon. This allows publications to highlight key articles as desired, or to comply with funding mandates. Please contact us for more information.
