Animal Research and One Health（AROH）is a new open access journal launched in 2023 to examine modern animal farming industries using a tailored multidisciplinary approach known as one health. AROH is published on behalf of Institute of Animal Science, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (IAS-CAAS), a leading research institution in the field of animal research, in partnership with Wiley, a global leader in publishing, education & Research.
Holding the concept of “One Health”, AROH aims to promote the coordinated development of animal production, ecological safety, and human health. AROH focuses on multidisciplinary studies and reports including state-of-the-art biotechnology, animal resource conservation and utilization, genetic breeding and reproduction, animal nutrition and husbandry, smart animal husbandry and environmental science, animal disease prevention and management, and animal product safety and quality control. In particular, AROH highlights the latest progress in animal welfare and low-carbon feeding systems research and application. Ultimately, the goal of AROH is to contribute to a new harmonious balance among humans, animals, and the eco-environment.
Apart from the services such as open access publishing, publication charge waiver for the first three years, and a green channel for quality submissions, AROH has the following unique features: (1) Submission Process: AROH offers free format submission and welcomes manuscripts from preprint repositories and collaborative journals, therefore accelerating the processes of typesetting, submission, peer review, and revision. (2) Openness and Transparency: AROH requires a Conflicts of Interest Statement from all authors, reviewers, and editorial members, thus ensuring transparent peer review and final decisions on publication. (3) Evaluation Standards: AROH lessens the excessive concern about journal metrics (such as the impact factor) and highlights the originality, innovation, and applicability of each submission. (4) Incentives: An annual selection of top excellent articles is conducted to encourage future high-quality submissions. (5) Research Integrity: Guaranteeing research integrity is the core mission of scholarly publications. AROH stringently follows the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CrediT) to ensure definite recognition of each author's contribution.
In summary, AROH’s vision is to interconnect academic animal research and one health, to establish a resource-saving and eco-friendly animal production system, and to promote organic integration and positive interaction of animals, the eco-environment, and humans. AROH strives to rebuild and perfect the one health system to significantly contribute to the global health community and a brilliant future for humanity.
