Max Planck Digital Library and BioOne have signed a three-year agreement to bring the flagship BioOne Complete aggregation to 84 Institutes of the Max Planck Society.
This agreement includes the full term of BioOne’s Subscribe to Open (S2O) pilot from 2026 through 2028, supporting shared goals of sustainable open access and equitable scholarly communications. Through this agreement, all Max Planck Institutes maintain reading access to the full BioOne Complete’s collection of over 230,000 biological sciences articles while simultaneously advancing open access objectives. Success of this pilot will also connect Max Planck Institute-affiliated researchers with broader audiences throughout the international biosciences community.
Ádám Dér, Head of the Scientific Information Provision at the Max Planck Digital Library remarked: “We’re pleased to support BioOne’s Subscribe to Open pilot, through which we not only serve our researchers but also contribute to the wider scholarly community. This agreement reflects our long-standing goal of making research accessible to all and our commitment to supporting diverse pathways toward open scholarship, ensuring our researchers can both access and share knowledge freely while supporting independent scholarly publishers.”
