Even if the Journal of Global, Public and One Health is initially just another journal among many thousands of others, it promises an innovative approach that focuses on multidisciplinarity and genuine globalism and thus also makes a commitment to multilateralism. With its multidisciplinary and multilingual orientation, it can help to challenge the prevailing biomedical reductionism and at the same time counter the Anglophone hegemony in the health and social sciences. This claim is likely to make it difficult for the JGPOH to establish itself in the scientific community and the publishing scene, which is driven to a not inconsiderable extent by financial interests, and to gain the necessary reputation. However, with high quality contributions from committed authors and the necessary resources for multilingual publication of relevant topics in various languages, the JGPOH should succeed in securing a place in the public, global and one health community. The guest editorial by Jens Holst is not only available in English but also in French, German and Spanish.
