Issue-in-Progress Publishing

 
BioOne Complete offers issue-in-progress (IIP) publishing, which can benefit your journal by reducing time to publication and ensuring your research is discoverable and citable by readers without delay. With issue-in-progress workflow, your title publishes each article as it is ready, rather than waiting for the entire issue to be complete. If it is compatible with your journals’ overall workflow, BioOne recommends adopting IIP. This service is available to active publishers at no cost. To move to IIP or learn more, contact us.

 

Member-Only Access

 
BioOne Complete publishers can provide their society members with access to their publications through a secure Member Access link at no cost. To enroll your society in this program or to learn more, contact us.

 

Managing Rights and Permissions

 
BioOne Complete publishers can use Copyright Clearance Center's online RightsLink service to manage the rights and permissions for their content. Publishers have access to this service at no cost. To enroll in this service or to learn more, please contact us.

 

Research Integrity & Plagiarism Detection

 
While editorial policies are squarely in the hands of our publishing partners, BioOne strongly encourages transparency and integrity in academic research. To this end, we have the ability to support most publishers with iThenticate–Similarity Check (plagiarism detection software) via our partnership with Crossref. For more information about this service and how to integrate with your submission system, please reach out to us.

 

ORCID IDs

 
The use of persistent identifiers (PIDs) has become increasingly important and can support research integrity by disambiguating authors while aiding scholarly communications workflows. ORCID is a free, unique, persistent identifier (PID) for individuals and is typically applied to authors. BioOne offers the ability to embed ORCID iDs with published papers when you provide the information at submission.

 

Submit Video Content

 
Download the Video Guide for Authors and Publishers (PDF, 280 KB) for more information on how to submit video content to BioOne Complete. For further questions, please contact us.

 

Journal Citation Reports Data

 
As a free service, BioOne collects and displays impact factors, rankings, and JCI information for each publisher indexed in Clarivate’s Web of Science. To find your journal's annual JCR data, go to your journal page on BioOne Complete and click the Scope & Details tab. JIF, JCI, and category rankings will appear under the Details subheading and are updated annually when the new report data becomes available. For additional information about Citation Data and Impact Factor, you can visit Clarivate’s Journal Citation Reports page or reach out to us. While Journal Impact Factor is one way to measure benchmarks and success, we caution publishers from placing too much emphasis on this metric. The Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) offers helpful guidelines to balance and give perspective on this increasingly reductive indicator of journal health: Guidance on the responsible use of quantitative indicators in research assessment.

Open Access and BioOne

 
As an organization with a mission to increase access to critical scientific research BioOne fully supports sustainable Open Access. Since our inception, we have proudly offered participating publishers the flexibility to pursue Open Access, hybrid, and subscription models.

 

Subscribe to Open

 

Subscribe to Open (S2O) is a business model that provides a practical path to opening a journal’s new content while safeguarding subscription revenue. BioOne is proud to offer our S2O pilot for selected titles in BioOne Complete beginning 2026. By offering a Subscribe to Open pilot, we are continuing to advance this mission and increase access to content, benefiting libraries, publishers, and the wider biosciences community. Complete information on our S2O pilot, including an FAQ for publishers and a list of participating publishers appears on our S2O page.

 

Author Mandates & Converting Articles to Open Access

 

At BioOne, some society partners need to respond to funder mandates which require authors to publish the resulting articles under an Open Access model.

In such cases, Authors have the option to deposit the accepted version of a manuscript in an institutional or subject-based repository–satisfying most OA requirements. This is called self-archiving, or Green Open Access, and is offered at the option of the publisher.

If you wish to convert an individual article in your subscription journal to Open Access on the BioOne Digital Library platform (this is known as hybrid OA), simply reach out to us at [email protected].
