From the Press Release

"Johns Hopkins University Press (Hopkins Press) and BioOne today announced their merger, in a bold move designed to enhance community impact, expand future opportunities, and transform how they engage with researchers.  

BioOne’s flagship aggregation of bioscience research journals, BioOne Complete, as well as their eBook collections, will continue as discrete and independent products within Hopkins Press. The union promises significant operating efficiencies and combined scale with Hopkins Press’s Project MUSE, the widely used collection of journals and books in the humanities and social sciences. Both organizations were early adopters of the equitable open access model, Subscribe to Open.

Wendy Queen, Chief Transformation Officer at Hopkins Press, will lead the integration of BioOne and its staff into Hopkins Press, working closely with BioOne CEO Lauren Kane, who will support the transition through January 2027. All current commitments to BioOne’s community of participating publishers and supporting libraries will remain in place."
