Abstract
Most scientists are now aware of what has been called the 10:90 divide (Saxena et al, 2006): the fact that 90% of the published scientific activity in the world comes from the richest 10% of countries. Many would like to brush off this simple fact as unimportant, but at another level it could be regarded as a scandalous disequilibrium of the planet's resources. One small way of reversing this is for editors to publish more papers from low-income countries and counter what can be described somewhat strongly as editorial racism (Horton, 2003). We have tried to do so in the British Journal of Psychiatry (Tyrer, 2005); this paper describes some of the difficulties.
