BioOne is a nonprofit publisher of scientific research.
BioOne was established in 1999 in Washington, DC, as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization by five scholarly collaborators: the American Institute of Biological Sciences, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC),{{cite web |url=http://www.researchinformation.info/risummer02sparc.html |title=SPARC ignites scholarly debate |author=Alison Buckholtz |year=2001 |access-date=10 January 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100505222144/http://www.researchinformation.info/risummer02sparc.html |archive-date=5 May 2010 }} The University of Kansas, Greater Western Library Alliance, and Allen Press.
The main impetus for BioOne's creation was the common desire amongst key scholarly stakeholders for an alternative to commercial scholarly publishing.{{cite journal |first1=Adrian |last1=Alexander|first2=Marilu|last2=Goodyear|url=http://quod.lib.umich.edu/j/jep/3336451.0005.302/--development-of-bioone-changing-the-role-of-research?rgn=main;view=fulltext|title=The Development of BioOne: Changing the Role of Research Libraries in Scholarly Communication|journal=Journal of Electronic Publishing|date=March 2000|volume=5|number=3|doi=10.3998/3336451.0005.302|doi-access=free|hdl=1808/17334|hdl-access=free}}
