Atypon Systems and Allen Press have announced the launch of the new BioOne e-publishing site, hosting both full text journals and books. BioOne's new platform is serviced by Allen Press and powered by Atypon's online publishing technology.
The latest platform brings new functionality and a more user-friendly interface to BioOne's community members. Users can now create personal profiles using the "My BioOne" feature, allowing them to save searches, favourite journals, and e-alerting preferences. They can also make use of article and title-level tools such as RSS feeds, related article, and author searches.
BioOne is home to 113 not-for-profit society and institutional publishers from around the world. The new site offers these participating BioOne publishers previously unavailable branding, customisation, and promotional opportunities, including dedicated information pages for each publication and society. For BioOne subscribing libraries, the new site means an increase in core access and reporting functionality including easy download of COUNTER statistics and MARC records, Open URL compliance and Shibboleth supported access.
Bringing together a wide range of work on the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences from scientific societies, libraries, academe, and the private sector, the new platform had to be capable of supporting multiple product types. The BioOne site hosts full-text HTML journal and book content fully integrated on the one site. This provides a consistent user experience and single sign on irrespective of the content they are seeking.
