Notes
Notas - Exactly 10 years ago, on 25 October 2012, a group of scientists, policy-makers, and practitioners undertook an ambitious project to launch a new open-access journal, named Infectious Diseases of Poverty [1]. The idea had originated from a think-tank put forth by the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), an organisation co-sponsored by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the World Bank, and the World Health Organization (WHO). Indeed, this think-tank published a comprehensive Global Report for Research on Infectious Diseases of Poverty [2] that guided the scope and remit of Infectious Diseases of Poverty.The aim of the new journal was to publish a blend of original research articles and more empirical work, the latter embracing different types of articles, including scoping reviews, case studies, opinion pieces, and policy briefs. Its focus was to be on infectious diseases of poverty, coinciding with the launch of WHO’s first roadmap to overcome the global impact of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) earlier that year [3], and underpinning the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), particularly to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger (MDG 1) and to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases (MDG 6). The journal also aimed to build on the “One Health, One World” approach, and to set the stage for a new strategic direction in research and innovation on infectious diseases of poverty by bolstering trans-disciplinary work.
