Anyone is eligible to create a BioOne Complete account. Making an account grants you access to a suite of tools and features that streamline your research such as:

• Manage  custom email alerts to be notified of new content
• Create, save, and revisit complex searches
• Store and organize your research in one place using My Library
• Access subscribed content on-the-go when you affiliate your account with your institution's subscription

Please note that a BioOne Complete account does not automatically grant access to full-text content; the institution you are affiliated with must be a subscriber.

If your institution subscribes to BioOne Complete, your account allows you to log in and gain access to your institution's subscription even when you are away from work or school (for example, from your home computer or mobile phone).

To check if your account is affiliated with your institution's subscription, log into your account, and click the arrow that appears next to your name in the black bar at the top of the screen. Select Access and Downloads from the drop down menu that appears. 

This will take you to the Access and Downloads page in your account. If your account is already affiliated, then a license will appear here, as well as its expiration date. 

If no license appears, you need to affiliate your account with your institution's subscription. To do so, simply sign in to your account from a computer within your institution's IP range (for example, from a desktop computer at work or school). This will automatically affiliate your personal account with your institution's subscription for a period of three months. When the affiliation lapses, you can again sign in from the institution's network to renew the affiliation for another three months.
