  • One Health Outlook

     

    A new open access journal published by the One Health Platform and BMC

     
    Editor-in-Chief: Ab Osterhaus  One Health Outlook aims to promote the collaboration, connection and rapid sharing of information within all fields of research relevant to One Health through open access publishing.  The journal welcomes papers from researchers looking at the interaction between human, animal, plant and environmental health; agriculture, food and water safety and soil health; disease surveillance, prevention and response, both infectious and chronic diseases; antimicrobial resistance; environmental toxicology detection and response; public policy and regulation; education, communications and outreach.

    About BMC and open access publishing

     

    All articles published in BMC’s independent journals are open access. This means:

    • Articles are universally and freely accessible upon publication (after peer review and acceptance by the Editors)
    • Articles are immediately deposited and permanently archived in PubMed Central and other major indices
    • Authors retain copyright of their research articles
    • Articles are compliant with an increasing number of funding agency policies promoting open access like the U.S. National Institutes of Health, The Wellcome Trust, and RCUK

    A standard article-processing charge (APC) is levied on all articles that are accepted for publication. The APC is a flat charge (currently €1,745) and no additional costs are incurred. The APC covers the costs of peer reviewing, editing, publishing, maintaining and archiving research articles.

    BMC aims to ensure that a lack of funds is not an obstacle to publishing:

    • BMC operates an institutional membership arrangement where authors from participating institutions can have the APCs covered; we also offer guidance on securing APC funding
    • In cases where neither the authors nor their institution or funder are able to pay the APC, a discount or waiver may be granted on a case by case basis.
    • Authors from up 80 lower income countries qualify for automatic discounts or waivers

  • Opinion piece by NEOH member Brigit Schauer

    Crowd sourcing to bridge the gap between science and public health

    A One Health approach has been promoted for twenty years to strengthen control and prevention of zoonotic diseases. But barriers remain particularly limiting effective intersectoral cooperation between science and public health. Crowdsourcing is an online, distributed, problem-solving, and production model, which generally includes four elements: 1) An institution or an individual has a task or question, 2) a community (crowd) solves the task on a voluntary basis, 3) an online-platform facilitates the interaction of both sides, and 4) the result is an added value for the questioner as well as the crowd. We propose a crowdsourcing approach where individual scientists and public and veterinary health representatives can act both as questioners or crowd members. The combination of an online exchange forum, an integrated search database and targeted training making use of innovative media has the potential to break down historical barriers limiting intersectoral cooperation. This approach can encourage information exchange, improve translation of research into policy and practice and lead to more targeted science and advanced training.
