Aims
SAFE Journal of One Health (SJOH) (Online ISSN: 3143-0643) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access, interdisciplinary journal published by The SAFE Society Publishing. The journal is dedicated to advancing knowledge at the interface of human, animal, plant, soil, and environmental health through the One Health framework.
SJOH recognizes that the health of humans, animals, plants, soils, and ecosystems are fundamentally interconnected. The journal provides an international platform for the publication of high-quality research, reviews, communications, case studies, perspectives, policy analyses, and technical reports that contribute to sustainable and resilient health systems worldwide.
The journal welcomes experimental, theoretical, computational, clinical, field-based, and policy-oriented studies that address current and emerging challenges in health, agriculture, environmental sustainability, food systems, biodiversity conservation, climate resilience, and sustainable development.
SJOH supports interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, industry stakeholders, and communities working toward integrated solutions for global health and sustainability challenges. The journal particularly encourages research that contributes to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
As an open-access journal, SJOH promotes transparency, reproducibility, and broad dissemination of scientific knowledge. Authors are encouraged to provide sufficient methodological detail, datasets, protocols, and supplementary materials to facilitate replication and future research.
