BioOne’s upgraded platform is serviced by Allen Press, Inc. (www.allenpress.com) and powered by Atypon Systems, Inc. (www.atypon.com). BioOne embarked on this project to bring new functionality and a more user-friendly interface to all of its community members: researchers, participating publishers, and subscribing libraries.Among its many new features that was designed with users in mind, BioOne now includes personalized profiles through My BioOne, allowing for saved searches, favorite journals, e-alerting preferences, article and title-level tools such as RSS feeds, related article and author searches, and toll-free linking. The site now offers BioOne participating publishers branding, customization, and promotional opportunities that were previously unavailable, including dedicated informational pages for each publication and society. For BioOne subscribing libraries, BioOne offers an increase in core access and reporting functionality, including easy download of COUNTER statistics and MARC records, Open URL compliance, and Shibboleth-supported access.
