(5 May 2026) 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.
Hopkins Press and BioOne are committed to a smooth and transparent transition for all stakeholders with minimal disruption of day-to-day operations.
The deal is expected to close on August 31, 2026, subject to final governance and legal approvals.
