Abstract

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are essential for ethical biomedical research, yet gaps remain in the editorial board, peer review, authorship, and research participation. This editorial examines ways to integrate DEI into global biomedical publishing and highlights the initiatives undertaken by various organizations. It addresses challenges such as underrepresentation and exclusionary practices affecting individuals from low- and middle-income countries and marginalized communities. The piece suggests strategies for incorporating DEI into research and publishing while promoting accountability and meaningful change. To develop a biomedical research landscape that is fair and inclusive, it is essential to advance DEI from mere discussion to genuine structural transformation.
