Research is needed in all settings, but most often occurs in high‐income countries (HIC) compared to low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Publication in scientific peer‐reviewed journals and authorship position are important for academic/clinical advancement. We explored the current state of global authorship and data source distribution for publications in the Pediatric Blood and Cancer (PBC) journal.ProcedureLMIC‐affiliated author inclusion and position in selected article categories of the PBC (2011–2021) were recorded. Articles with at least one LMIC‐affiliated author (first‐listed affiliation) and 5% of exclusively HIC‐authored articles were verified. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed.ResultsOf 4504 articles reviewed, 593 (13%) included at least one LMIC‐affiliated author (517/593 [87%] as first author and 488/593 [82%]) as senior author. In a subset of articles with LMIC‐sourced data, 148/675 (22%) included exclusively HIC authors. Within the LMIC‐sourced data subset, 81/675 (12%) articles were mixed HIC/LMIC affiliation and 446/675 (66%) were exclusively LMIC‐affiliated. The frequency of LMIC‐affiliated authors as first or senior author within HIC/LMIC‐affiliated collaborations was 31/81 (38%) and 9/81 (11%), respectively.ConclusionAs more than 80% of children live in LMICs and the WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer is increasingly engaged across LMICs, all researchers/clinicians must justly be given an opportunity to conduct, write, publish, and be recognized for their research. PBC is uniquely poised to promote equitable publishing practices and opportunities for professional recognition by drawing on emerging best practices for equitable authorship, including potentially restructuring authorship guidelines and requirements. 10.1002/pbc.31413 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ |
