More editors and authors from poor countries are needed
International representation of editors and authors of tropical medicine journals is inadequate. Keiser and colleagues (p 1229) found that in 2003 only 5% of the members of the editorial and advisory boards of tropical medicine journals, and 14 % of the authors of articles published in 2000-2 in the six leading journals, were from countries with a low development index. International research collaborations were common, but the number of articles written only by scientists from underdeveloped countries was low.
