Abstract
Intro: Low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) represent a disproportionate share of the global burden of skin disease. Despite this, dermatologic research funding and agenda-setting have been largely skewed towards the disease burden in high income countries. Little is known about the global representation of authorship in dermatology literature, especially with regard to LMICs. The aim of this study was to quantify geographic representation in recent academic publishing in dermatology. Methods: We extracted all publications indexed in PubMed from four academic journals with the highest impact factors in dermatology, (Journal of the American Academy Dermatology (JAAD), JAMA Dermatology (JAMADerm), British Journal of Dermatology (BJD) and Journal of Investigative Dermatology (JID)) from Oct 1, 2018 to Sept 31, 2021.
