BioOne, US, a web-based aggregator of research in biological, ecological and environmental sciences, has announced five new titles and their respective not-for-profit publishers to the 2010 BioOne Collections. These new titles are seen to further enhance the company’s resource offerings for organismal, ecological and conservation biology research.
Four titles will join the BioOne.2 collection, while one title will be added to the BioOne.1 collection. Four of the five titles are ISI-ranked, while the fifth is claimed to be a promising new-start in its third year of publication. Two of the publications are based in the UK and two in Poland. The fifth is US-based, with a long publishing history.
As a result of these additions, in 2010, BioOne will be home to 159 total publications, 111 (70 percent) of which are ISI-ranked. Furthermore, 70 (44 percent) of BioOne’s titles have their current content available online exclusively through BioOne’s new platform which debuted in January 2009. BioOne continues to host 11 open access publications, freely available to all users and fully integrated with the subscription-based collections.
In recognition of library constraints amidst a troubled economy, BioOne has frozen 2010 pricing at 2009 rates for both collections.
The titles that will make their debut on BioOne in January 2010 include International Forestry Review, published by the Commonwealth Forestry Association; Acta Ornithologica, published by the Museum and Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences; Annales Zoologici, published by the Museum and Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences; Freshwater Reviews, published by the Freshwater Biological Association; and Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington, published by the Entomological Society of Washington.
Additionally, effective January 2010, titles that will no longer add current content to BioOne include Evolution, published by the Society for the Study of Evolution; Wetlands and the SWS Bulletin, published by the Society of Wetland Scientists; Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, published by the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry; and Wilderness and Environmental Medicine, published by the Wilderness Medical Society.
In accordance with both BioOne standard policy and Project Transfer guidelines, all departing title content currently hosted on BioOne will remain accessible to subscribers in perpetuity.
