Articles were initially screened to determine if the study focused on a LMIC according to the World Health Organization and if the study's subject was CLP.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n \n \n Setting<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:bold>\n <\/jats:title>\n Our study involved reviewing papers from multiple levels of clinical care.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n \n \n Patients, Participants<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:bold>\n <\/jats:title>\n We categorized the selected studies by their stated diagnoses (cleft lip, cleft palate, CLP, velopharyngeal insufficiency, and other).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n \n \n Interventions<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:bold>\n <\/jats:title>\n Specific interventions were not recorded due to the nature of the study.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n \n \n Main Outcome Measure(s)<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:bold>\n <\/jats:title>\n Nationality and gender of first author, nationality and gender of senior author, and country income status (based on World Health Organization classification).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n \n \n Results<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:bold>\n <\/jats:title>\n \n Most first authors were male (54%) and from upper-middle-income countries (69%). Kappa scores showed significant agreement for country income classification and the income classification of the country of the first author (K\u2009=\u20090.779,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.01). There was minimal change in the representation of LMICs over the study's time period (b\u2009=\u2009\u22120.0017, SE\u2009=\u20090.008,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.8429). There were 9 low-income country articles but only 1 (11%) had first author from the represented country.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n \n \n Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:bold>\n <\/jats:title>\n Overall, authors from middle-income countries are well-represented in CLP articles from their countries, but not the case for low-income country authors. Continued scrutiny of equitable publication should be conducted as low-income countries continue to be underrepresented in the literature.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10556656251357423","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,10]],"date-time":"2025-07-10T08:21:45Z","timestamp":1752135705000},"page":"1954-1962","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Cleft Lip and Palate Publishing Trends From Authors in Low- and Middle-Income Countries in Cleft and Craniofacial Journals"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"63","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-7053-7596","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ina","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zachary","family":"Pierre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Meharry Medical College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rahul","family":"Sharma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Solis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Phillips","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9490-3694","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ryan","family":"Belcher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vanderbilt University Medical Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
