Research Equity in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery

Abstract

Equitable research collaborations benefit the quality and rele- vance of global otolaryngology–head and neck surgery research. However, analyses of existing global health literature have shown disproportionate representation by foreign authors. To avert this inequity and improve global otolaryngology–head and neck sur- gery research, we propose a framework that emphasizes local representation and capacity building in research.
