Great work by Connor Wells & Shubham Sharma @QueensUHealth asking two important #GlobalHealth questions
1. Is there a #publicationbias against papers from #LMICs?

We identified 3 problems and 2 facts
We looked at all phase 3 studies in oncology from 2014 to 2017; classified origin of these RCTs based on #WorldBank economic classification of countries. We compared RCT designs and results from HICs and LMICs. The findings were striking…

Of 694 RCTs, 636(92%) were led by HICs; 58(8%) by LMICs. This is the first problem – huge imbalance in where research is done. Cancer incidence is strikingly different in HICs & LMICs, with considerable burden in LMICs. How can we accept such a skewed distribution of research?

(i still have a few collaborative papers to write and these will be published properly for the benefit of my co-authors)
i will soon publish a paper on a pre-print server, with no intention of submitting to an academic journal. my reasons for this are manifold 2/38

1. #academia is inherently corrupt & the publication model facilitates this:
- unpaid labour (editors, peer-reviewers,& authors [ok, they do get paid by the uni which oft = public funds yet journals privately profit & we see none of this unlike other forms of publishing]) 3/38
