Alongside formally published outputs, Research Directions: One Health has a Community site where additional content can be shared. The Community site is used for hosting non-peer-reviewed supplementary content that is complementary to the formally published content in the journal, as well as standalone content that contributes to one of the journal’s open Questions.
We strongly recommend that all supplementary material like datasets, code, software tools, and other research materials are submitted to the Community site to ensure these materials are easily discoverable and citable.
