STM publisher Elsevier has announced the launch of a new open access journal One Health. The journal is the official journal of the One Health Platform, an international forum that promotes a cross-sectoral and collaborative approach to one health issues, bringing together leading experts from a multitude of research areas.
The launch of the journal stems from the recognition that human, animal and ecosystem health are inseparably linked and that disseminating ideas and cross-fertilising information between these scientific disciplines contributes to a healthier future for humans, animals and their environment.
One Health will publish high quality research papers, reviews and outbreak reports on inter- and intra-species pathogen transmission and the predisposing factors that lead to their emergence. Research areas include virus discovery, antimicrobial resistance, veterinary science, ecosystem health, food safety, public health and emergency preparedness. The journal will focus heavily on speed of publication and a fair and rigorous peer review process of all papers.
