The sectoral and disciplinary reach of Oxford Open Infrastructure and Health is wide. Sectors include public health, transport, energy, digital, social, water, law, as well as subdivisions of each. The journal’s mission is to create connections across disciplines, fields, and sectors. To that end we encourage bold thinking that straddles the infrastructure and human health nexus. Disciplines range from Social Sciences to environmental and earth sciences, humanities, engineering and medicine.
In addition to traditional articles, Oxford Open Infrastructure and Health encourages narrative pieces that may be more visual in essence.
We also aim to encourage real-world impact through the development of policy briefs for the majority of published papers. Unlike lay summaries, policy briefs follow a standard template for policy-readiness.
