The BioOne journals are also included in the Scholars Portal Journals database, along with the majority of our e-journals.

BioOne sees sustainable scholarly publishing as an inherently collaborative enterprise connecting authors, nonprofit publishers, academic institutions, research libraries, and research funders in the common goal of maximizing access to critical research.

BioOne launched its original aggregation, BioOne.1, with 40 titles in 2001. Now at maturity, the collection includes 87 high-impact publications. BioOne.1 provides the scholarly community with a must-have collection of critical, high-quality titles across the biological, ecological, and environmental sciences. 84% of BioOne.1's titles are ISI ranked, and many titles are considered leaders in their respective fields.

Open access, freely available content is an important part of BioOne's—and the scholarly enterprise's—core mission. The BioOne Open Access Collection now includes ten titles, including five publications from Conservation International and the American Society of Plant Biologists' innovative online reference work, The Arabidopsis Book.  All open access content is freely available to all users, regardless of BioOne subscription.

BioOne Mobile is an optimized website now available to smartphone users. With this new mobile interface, all content from BioOne's 167 journals and book series is available for easy access to faculty, students, and researchers via their iPhone, Android, and Blackberry smartphones.

Because BioOne's optimization is site-wide, there is no app to download or keep updated. Instead, users will be automatically directed to BioOne's mobile site whenever they access bioone.org from a compatible mobile device. Users accessing the site from an iPad or tablet are shown the full site for optimal viewing, but can select the mobile site if they prefer.

Just as on the full BioOne site, users are able to access abstracts and the full text of open access articles without a subscription. Users can also access their account profiles; execute complex searches, sorting by most-recent, most-downloaded, or most-cited articles; and save PDFs for future access.

Pairing Your Device

Users associated with an institutional subscription (Trent users) can easily pair their device with their university's access privileges, giving them access to all subscribed content, whether they are in the library or on-the-go. Pairing lasts for 90 days, after which you must pair it again.

Your device is automatically paired when you visit the site from airTrent or when you use a link from the library website.

To manually pair your device from off-campus:

• On a computer, obtain a code here.
• On your device, go to the website and tap the settings icon.
• Tap "Device Pairing".
• Enter the code.

See the .pdf file on how to pair your device.

Supported Devices

BioOne Mobile currently is accessible from devices running the following operating systems:

• iOS 3.1.3 or later
• Android 2.2 or later
• BlackBerry OS 6 (the platform's most current version 7.0 is not yet supported) 

As of November 2011.

Trent subscribes to the BioOne.1 package only.

In January 2007 BioOne launched BioOne.2, a complementary collection of 40 new titles.  Today, BioOne.2 includes 61 titles. The majority of BioOne.2 titles, many of which are internationally based, have not been previously available online.   

A stable url (or persistent link) is a link that connects a user to a particular item in a database or on the web.

In ProQuest, when you have full record for an item, look for "Document URL" at the bottom. Check to see if the the proxy prefix is included. Copy this link for a stable url. (See the ProQuest information sheet.)

BioOne also uses the doi system to create a stable link.

To link to a particular article, look for the line that says:
To link to full-text access for this article, visit this link: http://dx.doi.org/####.###.

To ensure off-campus access, include the proxy prefix:
http://web2.trentu.ca:2048/login?url=

Example: http://web2.trentu.ca:2048/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jbbm.2007.04.008

Since this database also contains links to you can use the "Save Citation" data to create a link to the article.

On the BioOne website, the link to the .pdf of the document is usually a stable url which can be copied by right-clicking and selecting "copy link". Or copy it from the .pdf document once you have it. Remember to add the proxy prefix for off-campus access.
