The research behind Health Nexus: the questions it asks, the methods it uses and how evidence is reviewed before it is published.
Fig.How a finding is reviewed before it is published. Design, not a record.
Health Nexus research is the evidence work behind the platform: questions such as health system continuity and One Health, answered with epidemiology and public health science as well as molecular and life sciences and reviewed before publication. Every result carries an evidence label, from observed to modelled or expert judgement, and missing data is shown as missing, never filled silently.
How far each division sits from a large city, with the roads and airports that carry patients and supplies, shown for Pacific Island states as an example geography for this subject.
Hospitals, staff, power and essential services.
Human, animal and ecosystem interdependence.
Outbreak readiness, surveillance and uncertainty.
Unequal exposure and access to services.
Water, air, heat, pollution and health.
Medicines, cold chain and health logistics.
The health agenda looks at the capacities that decide how a threat becomes a crisis: detection, surge, supply and the social conditions that let people follow public health advice.
Results are labelled as observed, officially reported, estimated, modelled, forecast, scenario or expert judgement. Missing data is shown as missing, never filled silently.

| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Research integrity | Conduct of research in line with principles of reliability, honesty, respect and accountability, as the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity sets them out. |
| Evidence label | A tag on an assertion naming the kind of evidence behind it, such as observed, officially reported or modelled. |
| Reproducibility | Obtaining consistent results using the same data and analysis code as the original study. |

The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
